For visitors, Lima might seem a modern metropolitan but if you go off the beaten path, you’ll discover a diverse city with many different cultures. Many customs and traditions were brought to the capital by immigrants from the Andes or the Amazon. But, Lima also has its own rich history and culture. As a coastal town, fishing and seafood have always been very important. If you are interested in getting to know more about Lima’s own traditional culture, this Fisherman and Ceviche Culture of Lima tour should be on your itinerary. First, the guide will take you to an artisanal fish market and pier, where you will go for a short boat ride along Lima's coast with beautiful scenery. Afterwards, you visit several locals in the local fishing community, including an artisan boat builder, and you will try the best ceviche of Lima in a tiny, local family restaurant. After lunch, the guide takes you to the best view of Lima, a hill that has played a very important role in Lima’s history.

    Your guide will pick you up from your hotel at 10am (starting time can be changed if you prefer) and take you to one of Lima’s most traditional and colorful communities, the fishing district of Chorrillos. Start your day with a visit to its picturesque seafood market and pier, where local fishermen sell their catch of the day and repair fishing nets and boats for their next adventure offshore. They will share their experiences and views on today’s challenges of artisanal fishing and our local guide will also show you the wide variety of fish, shellfish and other types of seafood that have added incredible nutritious value to the diets of ancient and modern Peruvians. On most days, we’ll also be able to take a short boat ride to have a better view of Lima’s coastline in a small artisanal boat, made by a local boat builder, and learn more about the vast biodiversity of this side of the Pacific.

    30 minutes
  • Chorrillos, Lima, Peru
    For lunch, we will take you to the small family restaurant of one of the most traditional families in town, who are preserving traditions from the first Spanish Peruvian settlers, locally known as “Criollos” whose culture has blended for more than two centuries with the indigenous, African and Asian traditions to create the unique coastal culture of Peru. They practice different “creole” traditions that were passed on from their ancestors to the next generations in music, food, and other various cultural expressions. Ceviche, the Peruvian national dish, will be the star of our table; you will learn why all Peruvians are so proud of this delicious seafood dish. If you want to learn more, we can ask our hosts for a demonstration class on how to prepare home-style Ceviche.
    90 minutes
  • Morro Solar, Chorrillos, Peru
    After lunch, we will continue our tour toward the iconic hills of Chorrillos known as Morro Solar, a big cluster of rock formations facing the Pacific Ocean. Except for the best view of Lima and its coast, it is also a very important place in Peru and Lima's history. Your guide will tell you all about this. For instance, that it was once the site of an important 19th-century battle, which shaped the history of modern Peru. We will leave Chorrillos after enjoying the amazing view from the Morro Solar and will be back at your hotel at around 2:30 pm.

This was possibly one of the best tours my husband and I have ever taken! The pickup and return from the port were timely, the tour amazing and information interesting. In this tour you'll see the real authentic side of Lima, the Chorillos area and learn much about the common man. You'll take a small boat to another bit bigger boat and ride along the coastline, visit a small fish market, walk through the old area of Chorillos, see a man who build boats one at a time, learn and see how ceviche is made and then eat it. That ceviche was the best we'd ever tasted! If you're flexible and open to adventure, take this tour!

This was possibly one of the best tours we've ever taken and we've taken many! I will say that it's not for the faint of heart and is definitely for those with very good mobility and an interest in seeing the true side of life. Pickup and drop off we're perfect. We spent most of the time outside of Lima in the Chorillos area. While traveling both there and back the information and history given was wonderful. We saw the fish market, ride in a small boat to a bit larger boat to see the coastline. We walked along a frugal area of Chorillos, saw an amazing and authentic boat yard, watched fresh ceviche being made and then ate it! Wow! What a treat! We would highly recommend this tour!

This half-day tour was a great way to see and experience local culture. Alfredo was prompt in his pick-up and knew a lot about the local culture. His local contacts were amazing and really allowed us to see and experience aspects of Peru we would not have otherwise. The stop at a local restaurant for ceviche was amazing and so tasty!
