Day 2: Gastronomic Trujillo
This exclusive tour offers an interactive experience, during which you learn more about the gastronomical specialties of Trujillo and surroundings.
We start with visiting the busy and well-known local market of Hermelinda, to see with your own eyes where even some of the best cooks from Trujillo find their special and fresh ingredients.
11:00 am - After learning how to make an original Pisco Sour Trujillano, we visit the local fisherman’s and tourist town of Huanchaco. Believe it or not, but each morning, just before sunrise, there are still several local fisherman who climb on their traditional “Caballito de Totora†(“Horses of Reedâ€, small one person boats, made of reed) and paddle with a piece of caña de bamboo into the open sea to catch their fish.
13: 00 h - Knowing that our fish is fresh, it is time to learn how to make a special ceviche norteño and, of course, to taste it.
No matter the delicious taste of our own fresh ceviche, each real Peruvian loves their sweet desserts, so a gastronomical tour is not complete without a Peruvian “postreâ€. For this bite of sweet we visit the famous Doña Carmen.
At 17:00 h we finish our tour with a typical Peruvian dessert and cocktail in Casona Deza.
Overnight in a hotel of choice in Trujillo or Huanchaco
