Highlights
In the morning, you'll go on an off-the-beaten-path market tour, where you visit an authentic market where locals do their shopping or enjoy a quick lunch. You'll try traditional Peruvian foods how and where the locals eat them. With typical Peruvian dishes, drinks, fruits and desserts surrounded by and interacting with friendly locals, this market visit is both a cultural and gastronomic experience.
In the afternoon, you'll visit several places in a human settlement up in the hills of Lima such as a very unique and huge cemetery, a female artisan's workshop, a social project run by locals and you'll have one more drink and small snack at a local family’s house. You'll not only learn about daily life in Lima’s human settlements and the historical, political and cultural background but most importantly, you'll meet amazing locals who work hard to improve their community. This cultural immersion tour focuses on positive initiatives and hope and benefits the social project you'll visit.
