- Chorrillos - Your guide will pick you up from your hotel at 10am (starting time can be changed if you prefer) and take you to one of Lima’s most traditional and colorful communities, the fishing district of Chorrillos.
Start your day with a visit to its picturesque seafood market and pier, where local fishermen sell their catch of the day and repair fishing nets and boats for their next adventure offshore. They will share their experiences and views on today’s challenges of artisanal fishing and our local guide will also show you the wide variety of fish, shellfish and other types of seafood that have added incredible nutritious value to the diets of ancient and modern Peruvians.
On most days, we’ll also be able to take a short boat ride to have a better view of Lima’s coastline in a small artisanal boat, made by a local boat builder, and learn more about the vast biodiversity of this side of the Pacific.

At first glance, Lima could be viewed as a sleek metropolis but a closer look reveals a city rich in diversity and culture. Much of Lima’s heritage has roots in the traditions transported by settlers from the Andes and the Amazon. However, Lima, with its distinctive past and culture, is not merely an assimilation of these influences. Given its geographic location along the coast, it’s not surprising that fishing and seafood constitute a vital cultural element.
For those keen on delving deeper into the quintessential culture of Lima, the ‘Fisherman and Ceviche Culture of Lima’ tour is a perfect choice.
Beginning with a visit to a traditional fish market and jetty, the tour involves a brief yet picturesque boat ride along Lima’s beautiful coastline. Subsequent stops include interactions with the local fishing community, getting a glimpse of the work of an artisanal boat builder, and savouring the city’s finest ceviche at a small, family-owned establishment. Post-lunch, the guide will lead you to an elevated vantage point that offers the most spectacular city view and holds significant value in Lima’s historical narrative.
