Our guided tours in Peru will explore the country’s rich heritage through its premier museums, featuring everything from ancient Peruvian gold artifacts to the fascinating Inca Empire.
Housed in an 18th-century vice-regal building, the Larco Museum in Lima offers a remarkable collection of pre-Columbian artifacts. Explore Peru’s history through chronological galleries displaying ceramics, jewelry, crowns, masks, garments, and gold vases spanning 5,000 years.
As one of the continent’s top museums, Museo Inka presents an extensive view of the Inca Empire. Spend hours discovering Inca crockery, textiles, jewelry, goldwork, models, ancient mummies, and the largest collection of queros (ceremonial wooden drinking vessels).
The Gold Museum of Peru showcases exquisite Peruvian gold craftsmanship. Featuring thousands of items from various periods, you’ll see the earflaps and bracelets of the Vicus, the belts and earrings of the Frias, the masks and wristbands of the Nazca, and the crowns of the Chancay.
Peruvian cuisine is incredibly varied, and our Local Specialists will guide you to the top spots for sampling everything from traditional meat skewers to Chinese-inspired chifa dishes.
Chifa refers to a fusion of Chinese and Peruvian flavors, born from Chinese immigration in the late 19th century. It has become a staple in Peru, with popular dishes like Pato Cuarto Tiempos and Arroz Chaufa.
Dating back to the Inca Empire, anticuchos are a cherished Peruvian street food. These flavorful meat skewers, typically made from beef, are commonly served with bread or boiled potatoes.
A classic Peruvian dish, causa rellena consists of spiced yellow mashed potatoes layered with tuna, chicken, avocado, black olives, mayonnaise, and hard-boiled egg. Originally created by women for soldiers during the 1879 Pacific War, it remains a beloved dish.
