PERU · CEVICHE
Good ceviche experiences fill weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each one includes, and how they differ once you look past the photos.
Lima Barranco ceviche walk with 8+ tastings in about 3 hours, including canchita, causa rellena, gelato, and craft beer.
“We enjoyed walking through the quaint neighborhood and sharing the day with our lovely guide. Our guide, Diana, introduced us to some good local cuisine.”
Hands-on Lima class where you make an expert pisco sour and cook ceviche with leche de tigre, then sit down to eat. Chef-led, 2 hours.
“Great experience!! Highly recommend it. Chef Ruth is an expert in ceviche and traditional Peruvian dishes. Highly recommend it!!”
Miraflores cooking class: make tuna tartar and ceviche, taste 10 pisco flavors, and learn pisco sour with owner Jose Antonio.
“My husband and I (and our world traveling dog!) had the BEST experience with Maria and her husband Jose Antonio who welcomed us and made us feel like fast friends. We booked their ceviche and Pisco sour cooking class. They have their own space with a kitchen space, full bar and a lovely seating area so you feel at home! We started with a nice little intro video to explain the different regions of Peru and their vast gastronomy. Afterwards we got to sample a few of their piscos which they make themselves in a small factory in Ica. They were delicious! After that we made a tuna tartare, followed…”
A private half-day Lima tour through Chorrillos fishing life, artisanal boat building, and a family-style ceviche lunch with hotel pickup.

And he arranges for locals to help with the tour experience so that they, too, are financially compensated and benefit from these kinds of things, which is a major plus to us when we do any tour activities. My husband and I were picked up at our hotel lobby, got in the car that Alfredo had arranged, and the driver took us first to the docks/beach at Chorillos, where we walked through the fish market, learned the history of the wall murals, and strolled…”
Pick a kind of day, and see the best of it.
