        Our top 5 things to do in Peru

        Visit a local market in Lima

        In Lima, the flavors of Peru come alive. Tour the local markets brimming with exotic fruits, fresh seafood, and native spices. Then step into a cooking class where a local chef will guide you through crafting Peru’s most iconic dishes, from ceviche to lomo saltado.

        Ride the Vistadome train to Machu Picchu

        Climb aboard the Vistadome for a scenic journey to one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world. As the lush Sacred Valley passes by your window, the anticipation builds until finally, Machu Picchu reveals itself in all its misty, mystical glory.

        Meet a master Quechua weaver

        Connect with Peru’s living traditions in Awakancha, where Andean artisans keep centuries-old weaving techniques alive. Watch as they spin, dye, and weave alpaca and vicuña fibers into patterns that tell stories older than most languages.

        Marvel at the Magic Circuit of Water

        As night falls in Lima, the city lights up at the Magic Circuit of Water, the largest fountain complex in the world. Lasers, music, and water dance in perfect harmony, transforming a city park into a surreal spectacle.

        Make your own chocolate at the Choco Museum

        Got a sweet tooth? Head to the Choco Museum in Cusco, where you’ll follow the chocolate-making process from bean to bar. It’s hands-on, delicious, and the perfect way to sample Peru’s lesser-known but equally impressive export.

        Best museums in Peru

        Lima

        Larco Museum

        Set in an elegant 18th-century mansion, this museum takes you through 5,000 years of Peruvian history with intricate goldwork, ceramics, and pre-Columbian artifacts that offer a deep dive into ancient cultures.

        Cusco

        Museo Inka

        Tucked away in the historic heart of Cusco, this museum is a time capsule of the Inca Empire, filled with ceremonial vessels, mummies, jewelry, and priceless textiles.

        Lima

        Gold Museum of Peru

        Prepare to be dazzled. This museum showcases a treasure trove of golden relics, from ancient masks and ornaments to entire suits of armor, offering a glittering glimpse into Peru’s royal past.

        Best food in Peru

        Chifa

        A fusion of Chinese and Peruvian cuisine, chifa is a legacy of immigration turned national obsession. Dishes like arroz chaufa and wantán soup are staples in homes and food stalls alike.

        Anticuchos

        Grilled to smoky perfection, these skewers of marinated meat, often beef heart, are a street food favourite, best enjoyed with a boiled potato on the end and a splash of aji sauce.

        Causa Rellena

        Peru’s answer to the layered salad, this cold dish features spiced mashed potatoes stacked with tuna, chicken, or avocado, and is often topped with egg, olives, or lime. Comfort food with a story.
