## About

Exquisito Perú was born from the shared passion of two friends over several years of expatriation in Peru, who launched the company in 2017 to share their attachment to the country's history, traditions, and gastronomy with visitors from around the world. The company operates walking food tours in Lima, Cusco, and Arequipa that combine tastings of Peru's signature dishes and drinks with the history, culture, and people behind them — visiting local markets, restaurants, and artisans, and including live cooking demos of dishes like ceviche and pisco sour.

Beyond the food, Exquisito Perú aims to create economic and social impact: it works directly with small businesses and local producers, runs a fair-trade retail shop, and has explored agrotourism initiatives.

Recognition: TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice "Best of the Best" 2026, a Viator Experience Award, and listings with GetYourGuide and Kayak's Lima guide. Registered as a formal tourism agency in Peru ("agencia registrada").
