7 Pisco Tastings in Lima to Build a Day Around

1.Cook an Authentic Ceviche And Peruvian Pisco Sour!

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 107 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $42Our pick

At Haku Tours in Miraflores, you prepare a Pisco Sour and ceviche with a professional chef and guide. The two-hour class begins at 7:00 pm at Av. José Larco 724, uses fresh ingredients, and keeps you working rather than watching. Vegetarian adaptations are available if requested when booking.

“We had a great time as a group. There were 7 of us and three others not part of our group, but the chef and sous chef did a great job building camaraderie between us all. The food was amazing and they tried hard to make sure everyone had a job or part to play. It was fun bouncing back and forth between the kitchen and the eating table. The host had great English and pisco sour/ceviche knowledge. We got a 14 page recipe book with more than just pisco sour and ceviche recipes, so it was definitely worth it! Would highly recommend!”
