In this intimate tasting session, you’re welcomed into a local home in Cusco to discover the flavors, customs, and food traditions that shape everyday life in Peru. This is a chance to slow down, taste thoughtfully, and experience Peruvian food in a more personal and meaningful way. Each tasting is presented with the stories and cultural context behind it, helping you see how local ingredients, heritage, and tradition come together at the table. The atmosphere is relaxed, warm, and personal, like being invited to share food in someone’s home rather than joining a standard tour. As the session unfolds, your host shares anecdotes, customs, and small details that turn each tasting into something deeper than just a flavor. Rather than watching a staged presentation, you get a genuine glimpse into how Peruvians gather, serve, and share food with others. Seats are intentionally limited to keep the experience personal, so early booking is recommended.

Cushuro and Chicha Morada
We got to taste many typical peruvian ingredients and foods, many without too much seasoning to really experience their pure flavor. My favorite ones were Cushuro (vegan "caviar of the Andes") and Chicha Morada, a drink made of black corn. Victor also told us a lot about their history and preparation, which was extremly intresting.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! 🇵🇪 We're so glad you enjoyed discovering unique Peruvian ingredients like Cushuro and Chicha Morada. Learning about the history, traditions, and authentic flavors behind each tasting is such an important part of the experience, and Chef Victor will be delighted to know you appreciated his passion and knowledge.

Tasting local products
It was a very exciting day getting to know Peruvian products; Chef Víctor had us try 30 typical products from Peru, the drinks were very refreshing and of excellent quality. I recommend this experience for those who are curious to learn about local cuisine from a perspective different from all the restaurants.

It was really nice to get to know the typical Peruvian Sweets, ingredients, some drinks and some easy dishes. We were teached about the names and also the history. Almost everything was vegetarian and also a lot was vegan. Overall a really nice experience.

Cusco Tasting Session with 30 plus Peruvian Flavors and Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Cusco Tasting Session with 30 plus Peruvian Flavors and Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cusco Tasting Session with 30 plus Peruvian Flavors and Drinks take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Cusco Tasting Session with 30 plus Peruvian Flavors and Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cusco Tasting Session with 30 plus Peruvian Flavors and Drinks?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cusco Tasting Session with 30 plus Peruvian Flavors and Drinks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cusco Tasting Session with 30 plus Peruvian Flavors and Drinks?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cusco Tasting Session with 30 plus Peruvian Flavors and Drinks start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Cusco Tasting Session with 30 plus Peruvian Flavors and Drinks?

Not included: transfers. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Cusco Tasting Session with 30 plus Peruvian Flavors and Drinks?
+
