Highly Recommend! - This tour was AMAZING. My group and I had an amazing time learning about the history of Cusco, spending time with Christina & Bruce and eating amazing food! It really brought us out of our comfort zone and encouraged us to try food we wouldn’t have before! We made cocktails & had delicious small plates. We all left smiling ear to ear about how much fun we had! Highly recommend.

A delicious education and culinary journey - Chef José Luis of Uchu restaurant met me at my hotel to take me on an awesome culinary journey through Peruvian food and culture. He prepared some delicious bites for me in the form of Cuy (guinea pig) prosciutto on one of the nearly 4000 varieties of potatoes, and an alpaca sausage with twice prepared potatoes to dip in a yellow sweet pepper sauce that I’m still thinking about over a week later….all washed down with a Chilcano (using Pisco) laced with my favorite fruit….passion fruit purée. It was an awesome start! We proceeded next door to Uchu to try an amazing ceviche and papas rellenas, mashed potatoes stuffed with peppers that were also flavor bombs! We then walked the streets of Cusco trying the street food hawkers wares (sweet tamales….Wow! & Picarones best described as a Peruvian donut made from (yet another) sweet potato variety and squash blossoms all doused in sugar cane syrup). How amazing those were!! The best part of the experience though was knowing that my financial contribution to this experience would benefit human awareness globally to combat ongoing pollution, illegal logging and other environmental issues in Peru that threaten the Amazon cloud forest which makes up nearly 40% of Peruvian territory and protects hundreds of species of birds specific to only certain areas in Peru. On top of tasting Peru in a few hours time I felt really good about doing my part to make sure my experience can be shared with many others after me.

Great tastings! - I really enjoyed this culinary tour with Christina. Her knowledge of Peruvian food stems from her background as a chef. I enjoyed the history behind each dish as well. I was completely full, and a little happier with some pisco sour, by the 3rd stop, and had to make room for 2 more tastings!
