Due to Peru's recent success at the election of the "World's 50 Best Restaurants 2023" in which Peru has taken four spots (#1 Central, #6 Maido, #28 Kollje and #47 Mayta), we also want to offer two more tours for foodies to Peru.

The key in both these tours is that they are designed for only 4-6 travelers, and that these people can choose their tour date completely free. There are a few date restrictions due to weather, but the dates can be almost anytime in the next 12 months.
