About

Immerse yourself in the flavors of Peru with a private, hands-on cooking class in the heart of Miraflores. Your experience begins at a traditional local market, where your chef will guide you through native ingredients, exotic fruits, and everyday Peruvian produce. Back in an intimate family home kitchen, you’ll prepare a classic starter — Causa Rellena or fresh Ceviche — followed by the iconic Lomo Saltado as your main course, each dish paired with a selected glass of wine. Designed for small groups of up to 6 guests, this fully private experience includes complimentary hotel pick-up and drop-off from Miraflores, Barranco, and San Isidro.
