DID YOU KNOW THAT LIMA IS KNOWN AS THE GASTRONOMIC CAPITAL OF AMERICA?

Lima, a feast of flavors

In Lima, you can enjoy the richness of the entire country in one place. Fresh fish and seafood arrive from the coast, Andean grains and tubers from the mountains, and exotic fruits full of color and flavor from the jungle. Every dish you try will be a sample of Peru's biodiversity.

A fusion of cultures

Lima's cuisine is a fusion of cultures: indigenous, Spanish, African, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese. This mix has given rise to dishes that are now global icons and surprise every visitor, such as ceviche, lomo saltado, and arroz chaufa. Eating in Lima is literally like taking a trip through the country's history.

International recognition

Lima not only conquers palates, it also leads international rankings. It has been named the best gastronomic city in South America, and restaurants such as Central and Maido are among the best in the world. More and more travelers are coming to the capital solely to sample its cuisine.

Flavors you can't miss during your stay in Lima, be sure to try:

• Ceviche: fresh fish marinated in lemon, chili pepper, and onion, Peru's signature dish.
• Ají de gallina: chicken in a creamy yellow chili pepper sauce, served with rice and potatoes.
• Lomo saltado: beef stir-fried in a wok with vegetables, French fries, and rice.
• Anticuchos: skewers of marinated grilled meat, with the unique flavor of Lima street food.
• Suspiro a la limeña: a soft and sweet dessert that will delight any palate.
