What to Eat in Peru
Premium Dining on Every Tour
Peruvian cuisine includes a lot of potatoes, seafood, and, in some areas, more exotic meats like guinea pig and alpaca. Taking ingredients from the sea, the Andes, and the Amazon, Peruvian dishes include ancient Incan cooking techniques and Spanish influences.
Causa seems like an odd list of ingredients for Peruvian dishes: boiled eggs, tuna salad, avocado, and yellow potatoes. Prepared and layered, however, it’s a beloved entree you’ll fall for.
Bring your appetite for a pachamanca feast: this barbecue-like Peruvian cuisine is an ancient earth-oven cooking tradition which includes everything from chicken and pork to guinea pig and potatoes.
Looking for Peru food in Lima that won’t disappoint? Ceviche is the way to go. Lime juice, onions, and chilies marinade a white saltwater fish to create Peru’s national dish.

Learn More About Peru
Did You Know?
Peru has the world’s second largest desert city.
Few may see the similarities between Lima, Peru, and Cairo, Egypt, from the offset but they share similarities beyond their ancient structures. Lima is in a Peruvian coastal desert and is considered the second-largest desert city behind Egypt’s capital. Lima sits at an altitude only reaching 500ft (150m) at its highest points. This fact is something to consider when evaluating the best time to visit Peru as Machu Picchu is at an elevation of nearly 8,000ft (2400m).
