Food and Culture Full day Tour in the Sacred Valley

When Roo from the crew did this Sacred Valley food tour, she found herself tracing the stories baked into every bite. The 10-hour day starts in Urubamba's markets grazing on street food, swings through the Inca ruins of Ollantaytambo (though the archaeological site entry isn't included), then climbs into the Andes to share lunch with an indigenous family in their home. The vibe is intimate—small groups, an English-speaking guide, and an honest look at how food connects to the people and landscape here. It wraps with dessert back in town. You're eating your way through the valley, basically.

Lima Food Tour & Market Experience: 13 Peruvian Bites

When Delphine from the Global Hobo crew did this Lima food tour, she got the real deal — not the Instagram version. You'll walk through the chaotic, genuine heart of the city: Central Market, Mesa Redonda, Barrios Altos, and Chinatown. Over four hours, you'll taste 13 authentic Peruvian dishes at street stalls and family-run spots that locals actually eat at. It's crowded, loud, and wonderfully unpolished — the kind of place where you'll see vendors shouting, kids playing, and the smell of grilled meat mixing with fresh ceviche. Your guide knows the city intimately and steers you toward the best bites.

Sacred Valley Textile Workshop – Dyeing & Weaving in Cusco

When Saskia from the crew did this workshop in the Sacred Valley outside Cusco, she didn't just watch weaving happen — she dyed her own yarn with plant-based pigments and wove a textile on a backstrap loom, then took it home. You work directly with Ruth Pimentel, a UNESCO-awarded Indigenous master weaver, and her family in their workshop space. It's a proper full-day immersion (8 hours) that puts you to work alongside people who've been doing this for generations, not a staged demo where you sit and sip tea.

Cooking Class: Lomo Saltado, Papa Huancaina & Pisco Sour in Cusco

When Maz from the crew rolled up to a 1930s colonial house in Cusco, it was straight into hands-on Peruvian cooking. You'll make three classics: lomo saltado (stir-fried beef), papa a la Huancaína (potatoes in creamy yellow sauce), and pisco sour cocktails from fresh market fruit. The class runs 2.5 hours—a proper cook-along, not a demo—with a bilingual chef guiding you through each step. By the end you've got the recipes to take home and muscle memory that actually sticks.

Ceviches + Pisco Tasting + Pisco sour and Peruvian Cuisine

When Ngaio from the Global Hobo crew rocked up to a Lima home doubling as a pisco producer's tasting room, she walked into a crash course in Peru's national spirit. Hosted by José Antonio, a professional chef who doubles as a pisco maker with his own distillery in Ica, this two-and-a-half-hour session blends booze education with proper food — ceviches, tuna tartare, and a build-your-own pisco sour using ten macerated varieties you won't find on restaurant menus. The space doubles as a gallery of Peruvian art, and the crew aren't shy about dishing insider tips on where to eat and what to hunt down across the country.

The Fisherman and Ceviche Culture of Lima Tour

When Maz from the Global Hobo crew did this Lima tour, we skipped the Plaza Mayor crowds and headed straight to the fishing communities that actually built the city. This 4–5 hour jaunt takes you to the artisanal market and pier, onto a short coastal boat ride, then into the homes and workshops of working fishers — including a boat builder who still uses traditional methods. The centrepiece is ceviche lunch at a proper family spot, not some tourist trap, followed by a hilltop detour with serious views and historical weight. Lima's a sprawling, layered place; this tour digs into the salt-worn side most visitors miss.
