Description

Learn to prepare ceviche and lomo saltado in a hands-on class in Cusco. Make a passion fruit chilcano cocktail and enjoy the lunch you cook yourself.
Immerse yourself in Peru's rich culinary tradition with this hands-on gastronomic experience in the heart of Cusco. Perfect for travelers with limited time who want to discover the authentic flavors of Peru.

During 1.5 hours, learn to prepare two of Peru's most iconic dishes: refreshing ceviche and flavorful lomo saltado. Your chef will guide you through the history of Peruvian gastronomy, explaining how the country's biodiversity and geography have created one of the world's most celebrated cuisines.

The experience is 100% participatory. Start by preparing ceviche with fresh fish, mixing ingredients that make this dish truly unique. Next, create your own passion fruit chilcano, a refreshing cocktail made with pisco, Peru's national spirit.

The class concludes with the lunch you prepared yourself, in an intimate setting with small groups of 2 to 12 people.
