About this experience
Begin your journey in the vibrant Surquillo Market, where you'll sample exotic fruits and uncover the cultural significance of Peru's essential and unique ingredients. Your expert guide will share fascinating stories as you explore bustling stalls filled with fresh produce and local delicacies, offering a true taste of Peru’s culinary heart. After the market, head to a nearby restaurant for a hands-on cooking class led by a talented local chef. Here, you'll learn to prepare three iconic Peruvian dishes: ceviche, a refreshing combination of fresh fish, citrus juice, and spices; causa rellena, a layered dish of mashed potatoes, avocado, and a savory filling; and the classic pisco sour, a perfectly frothy cocktail made with pisco, lime, and egg white. As you cook, you'll gain practical skills, cooking techniques, and a deeper appreciation of Peru's rich gastronomic traditions. To round off this memorable experience, indulge in a traditional Peruvian dessert.

Lima Market Tour & Ceviche Cooking Class with Pisco Sour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Lima Market Tour & Ceviche Cooking Class with Pisco Sour cost?
+
Prices start at $59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lima Market Tour & Ceviche Cooking Class with Pisco Sour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Lima is not rushed.
Is Lima Market Tour & Ceviche Cooking Class with Pisco Sour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 59 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lima Market Tour & Ceviche Cooking Class with Pisco Sour?
+
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 Lima Market Tour & Ceviche Cooking Class with Pisco Sour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Lima Market Tour & Ceviche Cooking Class with Pisco Sour?
+
Around 21 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 Lima 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 Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lima Market Tour & Ceviche Cooking Class with Pisco Sour 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 Lima 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 Lima?
+
On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Peruvian Cooking Class, Local Market Tour & Exotic Fruit Tasting, The Complete Lima Experience: History, Culture & Flavors, #1 Rated Lima Cooking Class: Make Ceviche, Causa & Pisco Sours!. 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 Lima?
+
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 Lima?
+
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.
