Lima
Day 1 · Lima
You are met at the airport and taken to your hotel. In the evening, a private transfer takes you to dinner at Huaca Pucllana, a restaurant within the grounds of an adobe pyramid raised by Lima's early people more than 1,500 years ago, serving Peruvian fusion dishes.
Day 2 · Lima
Start at a local market to see the range of Peruvian produce, then join a class to make pisco sour, the national drink, and cook traditional dishes that you eat for lunch. In the afternoon, tour the UNESCO-listed colonial centre: the main square, the 16th-century Cathedral and Casa Aliaga, still owned by the family it was granted to in Pizarro's time. Finish at the Larco Museum, a colonial mansion on a seventh-century pyramid, known for its pre-Hispanic gold and silver.
Day 3 · Lima
Spend the day in Barranco, the bohemian district where Lima's wealthy families once kept summer houses, now known for its mansions, galleries and nightlife. Stop at a street stall to try anticuchos, skewers of marinated beef heart, and picarones, a sweet fried dough made with squash.
Day 4 · Lima
