Overview

For visitors, Lima might seem a modern metropolitan but if you go off the beaten track, you’ll discover a diverse city with many different cultures. Many customs and traditions were brought to the capital by immigrants from the Andes or the Amazon. But, Lima also has its own rich history and culture. As a coastal town, fishing and seafood have always been very important.

If you are interested in getting to know more about Lima’s own traditional culture, this Fisherman and Ceviche Culture of Lima tour should be on your itinerary.

First, the guide will take you to an artisanal fish market and pier, where you will go for a short boat ride along Lima's coast with beautiful scenery. Afterwards, you visit several locals in the local fishing community, including an artisan boat builder, and you will try the best ceviche of Lima in a tiny, local family restaurant. After lunch, the guide takes you to the best view of Lima, a hill that has played a very important role in Lima’s history.

Activity itinerary

Fisherman's Wharf
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Your guide will pick you up from your hotel at 10am (starting time can be changed if you prefer) and take you to one of Lima’s most traditional and colourful communities, the fishing district of Chorrillos. Start your day with a visit to its picturesque seafood market and pier, where local fishermen sell their catch of the day and repair fishing nets and boats for their next adventure offshore. They will share their experiences and views on today’s challenges of artisanal fishing and our local guide will also show you the wide variety of fish, shellfish and other types of seafood that have added incredible nutritious value to the diets of ancient and modern Peruvians. On most days, we’ll also be able to take a short boat ride to have a better view of Lima’s coastline in a small artisanal boat, made by a local boat builder, and learn more about the vast biodiversity of this side of the Pacific.
Chorrillos
  • 30m
Next, we’ll walk through the old streets of Chorrillos, while your guide explains the importance of this town in the history of Peru. On the way, we will stop by a local boat builder’s workshop to understand the laborious process of making an artisanal fishing boat, before we get to our delicious lunch.
Chorrillos
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
For lunch, we will take you to the small family restaurant of one of the most traditional families in town, who are preserving traditions from the first Spanish Peruvian settlers, locally known as “Criollos” whose culture has blended for more than two centuries with the indigenous, African and Asian traditions to create the unique coastal culture of Peru. They practice different “creole” traditions that were passed on from their ancestors to the next generations in music, food, and other various cultural expressions. Ceviche, the Peruvian national dish, will be the star of our table; you will learn why all Peruvians are so proud of this delicious seafood dish. If you want to learn more, we can ask our hosts for a demonstration class on how to prepare home-style Ceviche.
Morro Solar
  • 30m
After lunch, we will continue our tour towards the iconic hills of Chorrillos known as Morro Solar, a big cluster of rock formations facing the Pacific Ocean. Except for the best view of Lima and its coast, it is also a very important place in Peru and Lima's history. Your guide will tell you all about this. For instance, that it was once the site of an important 19th-century battle, which shaped the history of modern Peru. We will leave Chorrillos after enjoying the amazing view from the Morro Solar and will be back at your hotel at around 2:30 pm.
