A cool Pacific wind threads through the stalls as your guide steers you into a neighborhood market at 9:00 a.m., the first act of a four‑hour immersion in Lima’s coastal food culture. Fruit vendors display chirimoya and lúcuma like bright props; a fishmonger’s block hums with the cadence of ceviche prep. You taste, ask, and learn the essential ingredients that make Peruvian dishes sing, then move to San Isidro’s Olive Park and the city’s Pacific fringe for a shift from market grit to refined kitchen craft.
