Peru

Peru is widely recognized for its trendy, inventive, and distinct culinary dishes that are gaining the attention of food critics from around the world. While traditional indigenous Peruvian cuisine revolved around corn, chili peppers, and potatoes (given the abundance of over 3000 different varieties), modern Peruvian cuisine is a fusion of local and foreign influences, including Spanish, African, French, Asian, Italian, and British cuisine. This unique blend of flavors, cultures, and traditions has established Peru, especially Lima and Cusco, as emerging global culinary hubs.

What to Eat: You simply can't leave Peru without trying the national dish, "Ceviche." This refreshing and tangy marinated fish dish is typically served with boiled sweet potatoes or corn and can be found in almost every restaurant in Peru!

What to Drink: When thinking about Peruvian drinks, the first one that comes to mind for many travelers is the Pisco Sour – a cocktail that originated in Lima in the 1920s and remains Peru's national drink today! The Pisco Sour is made with lime juice, egg white, sugar syrup, and topped off with Angostura bitters.

Fun Fact: There are over 3000 varieties of potatoes in Peru, and it is believed that the potato was first domesticated in southern Peru between 8000 and 5000 BC.
