Eating at locals’ homes

Get to know ‘the ordinary Peruvian’ during your trip. That can be arranged! Eating at locals’ homes is the basis for a friendly meeting.

We have a reliable network of local families where you can sit at the table. You see the food being prepared (or lend a hand) and then you eat together. In a relaxed way you can see how Peruvians live and conversations come about easily.

By sharing a meal you directly support the family you are joining. We can record this activity for you in the cities of Cusco, Lima and/or Arequipa.

The Peruvian cuisine

Peruvians are incredibly proud of their cuisine. Peruvian cuisine is known as one of the best in South America. Contemporary Peruvian cuisine is an age-old mix of Indian, Spanish, but also African and Asian influences. The different climates in Peru also provide a very large variety of ingredients. For example, a lot of fish is eaten on the coast, the emphasis in the Andes mountains is more on potatoes and corn and in the rainforest more rice, bananas and other ingredients that can be found in the rainforest are eaten.
