The world’s top culinary destination
Peru has been acknowledged as one of the world’s top culinary destinations in the previous decade, making it an ideal option for foodie travel! The country’s culinary explosion is due in large part to its variety as well as its multicultural background.
- Peru is home to five of the world’s top restaurants!
- The coast, hills, and rainforest – every one of these three geographical areas has its own traditional cuisine made using locally sourced ingredients. If you travel across Peru, you’ll notice how the biodiversity of each of the country’s 24 states is strongly portrayed in the cuisine of each area.
- Despite the fact that Peruvian food is a consequence of cultural fusion, ingredients, and cooking techniques, the adjustment of classic recipes to urban cuisine is an outcome of the recent culinary boom. Peruvians strive to blend everything, from best street food to avant-garde cuisine with novel textures and flavours.
- Long before colonisation, ancient Peruvians recognised the nutritional benefits of consuming quinoa, potatoes, and other superfoods. While being in Peru, you may also find additional nutritious organic delicacies that are not widely recognised outside of the nation, such as camu camu or yacon.
- You can’t leave Peru before trying the signature dish “Ceviche.” This bright and tangy marinated fish dish is made with boiling sweet potatoes or corn and is available in practically every Peruvian restaurant!
