We first went to a little cal market where the guide,Jose told us about veggies and fruits of Peru while the chef Ruth shopped for the meal we had chosen. Then in the kids chen we prepared the food Ruth was in charge and she easily prepared everything with our help in chopping and storing. Then we created our appetizer of potatoes, quinoa and avocado. So tasty As was the pan fried sea bass with a Peruvian sauce. The best meal we had in Lima. And we learned so much about Peruvian culture along the way bOne of our best excursions ever.

We had a friendly guide with good humor and felt safe during the whole tour passing by beautiful places of the city. Would definitely recommend to do a bicycle tour and enjoy the fresh air of the sea around the face!
