Peru is a country where fresh limes, spicy peppers, and a glass of Pisco Sour are a natural part of everyday life. It's also a place where gastronomy, culture, and history intertwine in intriguing ways. For those curious to discover the true flavor of this fascinating country, a truly special journey awaits…

Avila Reizen, known for its customized and personalized service, is adding Peru to its repertoire of unique journeys. Led by Katinka Lansink Dodero, a half-Peruvian, culinary writer, and born with a passion for all things flavorful and vibrant, you'll discover Peru in a way you won't find in travel guides. No standard itineraries, but a carefully curated program full of hidden gems, encounters with local chefs, and tastings that will truly challenge your palate.

You'll delve into the secrets behind the national drink Pisco Sour, sample fresh ceviche straight from the market, and journey to the heart of the Andes, where the potato originates. A definite highlight is an exclusive visit to Mil Centro, the culinary research project of Virgilio Martinez, the chef behind Central, named the world's best restaurant last year. 

And of course, Machu Picchu is a must-see in this delicious adventure. This wonder of the world towers mysteriously above the mist, a perfect ending to days filled with gastronomic delights. 

This trip is a one-time event and is limited to a group of twelve participants. Want to test your taste buds in Peru? For more information or questions about the program, please visit here the website of Avila Reizen.
