    This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities.

    Lima

    Arrive Lima, Peru

    With 80 miles of coastline and virtually no rain, Lima's unique position on Peru's Costa Verde means the capital is spritzed in salt and soaked in sunshine. The 18th-century haciendas, baroque stonework and colonial architecture are upstaged by the country's pre-Columbian history on display at museums like Pueblo Libre's Larco. Surfboards are strapped to mopeds that dip between the mansions of Miraflores, whilst pisco sours are shaken to the beat of penas in Barranco. Lima's much-starred restaurant scene is so effervescent that the city is widely acknowledged as the culinary capital of Latin America, and shows no signs of dimming; the city has more than 16,000 cevicherias (UNESCO has declared Peru's staple dish one of Intangible Cultural Heritage), while chefs like Virgilio Martinez and Pedro Schiaffino are innovating with indigenous ingredients from Andean tomatoes to Amazonian river snails.

    Lima - A Cultural and Culinary Odyssey

    Take in the Andres Del Castillo Museum's stunning displays of crystallized minerals, pre-Hispanic metalwork, jewelry, ceramics and textiles. In this evocative setting, the legacy of Afro-Peruvian music is brought to life by Javier Lazo, a renowned composer and musician known for his collaborations with Susana Baca and Novalima. Your interactive session explores the genre's history, icons and instruments. After lunch, step inside Casa Liebana, a Republican-era mansion where one family has preserved a sweeping private collection of Peruvian folk art. Explore works spanning altarpieces, retablos, ceramics, masks, sculptures and textiles, each reflecting the country's layered cultural identity. Delve deeper into the bohemian Barranco District with a walking tour highlighting lush parks, republican mansions and contemporary art galleries. Then, take an expert-led cocktail class and learn how to perfect three different recipes, including, of course, the native Pisco spirit. Paired with delicious tapas, prepare for a fun night out.
