Peruvian market tours are one of the most immersive and engaging travel experiences you can include during your Peru trip. The markets in Lima have a unique advantage as many of the exotic fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices make their way to the capital, where one-third of the country’s population resides.
With over 50 varieties of corn, 400 varieties of chili peppers, and well over 600 types of fruit cultivated locally, you may be shooting in the dark without some direction. In this video, we’ll take you through a traditional Lima market where you’ll pick up a decent shopping list if you’re looking to expand your culinary horizons.
Apart from which Peruvian ingredients you can’t miss, we’ll give you ideas on how to slice and dice them, as well as the star dishes that allow the fresh produce to be the protagonists.
There are plenty of markets you can visit in Lima, each district generally has its own, but a few of our faves include the San Isidro market, Barranco market, Jesus Maria market, the Surquillo market, the Mercado Central, or the organic, very granola Miraflores and Barranco markets that set up on the weekends.
