Water and Food

Tap water can be drunk in most parts of Peru but the chemical content is different in each place. To avoid problems we recommend that you drink only bottled water.

Peruvian cuisine is spicy and very varied. Some typical dishes are: "Cebiche" (raw fish marinated in lemon juice), "aji de gallina" (chicken strips cooked in a sauce of milk, bread and chili peppers), "anticuchos" brochettes of beef heart and meat) among many others. You should also try a "Pisco Sour", a typical aperitif made from pisco (grape brandy), lemon juice, egg white and syrup.

Although we recommend you to try the local and international cuisine available in Peru, which is known throughout the world as some of the best, we would also say that the main fast food chains also have branches in Lima.
