Peru Culinary Tours & Cooking Classes FAQ
Can your Peruvian cooking classes accommodate vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free diets?
Yes, 100%. Peruvian cuisine is naturally rich in native Andean superfoods, quinoa, giant corn, and organic vegetables. Our chefs in Cusco and Arequipa tailor every recipe—including vegetarian Ceviche made with Andean mushrooms or hearts of palm—to match your dietary preferences and allergies.
Do the culinary tours include guided visits to local markets?
Yes. Both our Cusco Master Cooking Class (visiting San Pedro Market) and our Arequipa culinary experiences (exploring the historic San Camilo Market designed by Gustave Eiffel) feature guided market walks where you taste exotic Amazonian and Andean fruits, native potatoes, and local cheeses.
Can you arrange fine-dining reservations in Lima and Cusco as part of a private itinerary?
Yes. For guests booking our multi-day luxury Peru packages, our concierge team assists with securing tasting-menu reservations at Lima's World's 50 Best Restaurants (such as Central, Maido, Kjolle, and Mayta) as well as premier Andean dining tables in Cusco and the Sacred Valley.
