Water and Food

Peruvian food has evolved tremendously in recent years; it is booming and has positioned itself as one of the best in the world. This phenomenon has given rise to many new and innovative restaurants where you can sample the variety of dishes available in Peru, from typical Creole to fusion, nouvelle-Andean and international cuisine. If you don't have an "adventurous" palate you will also find most of the world's fast-food chains represented.

Try a cebiche, fish marinated in lemon juice and chilli pepper; served with onion, sweet corn and sweet potato but this varies with the cook. And don't forget to taste “anticuchos”, “lomo saltado”, “causa”, “ají de gallina”, “rocoto relleno”, the many different rice dishes (with shrimp, calamari, scallops, etc.) among many others.
To drink, try Peruvian pisco, a grape spirit used to make the famous pisco sour, the country's national cocktail.
