What Our Travelers Say About Us
Exploor was the best choice we made for our Peru trip. They planned every part of the trip exceptionally well right from the planning to scheduling and sharing of information.
They had a great team who were prompt, friendly and thorough. A big shoutout to Rosmy from the planning team and Maik and Grimaldo who were our guides. They went over and above for each leg of the trip. Great vehicles, good restaurant selection for meals, well-explained tours made the whole experience very memorable and comfortable. An added bonus was the great photo taking which our guides were experts in 🙂 10/10 recommended!
Exploor made it possible to be completely hands off and thoroughly enjoy the is trip. I am beyond pleased with their services and would highly recommend! They were also very accommodating to flight delays and such.
The admin team: Walter, Karen, Rosmy held down the plans! The tour guides: Kari and Andrea …10/10! I feel like I completed a college course on the history of Peru! The drivers made us feel 100% safe and were also very accommodating. Well done team!!

Market to TableTaste exotic fruits and fresh seafood in a Lima market with your guide, then eat dishes from Sacred Valley fields at a farm-to-table lunch.
Ceviche & PiscoPrepare classic ceviche in a hands-on class in Lima, and taste pisco on the 8-day tour or at Lima’s pisco bodegas on the 10-day tour.
Andean Pachamanca FeastMeats, potatoes and vegetables slow-cook for hours in an earth oven of hot stones, then come out to be shared, an Andean tradition that honors Pachamama.
From Cacao Pod to ChocolateAt a family cacao farm in Huayopata, in Cusco’s high jungle, you roast dried beans, grind your own cacao paste and taste fresh cacao pulp.
One week, food first. Choose the 7-day tour (from USD 2,399) if you want a guided street food morning in Lima and the choice of a cooking class or a city tour on your last day in Cusco. Choose the 8-day tour (from USD 2,499) if you want more hands-on time: a ceviche class in Lima, the Pisac ruins on the way to the Sacred Valley and a full cooking class in Cusco.
10 days, the whole food chain. The 10-day culinary tour (from USD 3,989) is for travelers who want to meet producers: a weaving community that cooks you lunch, a chicha brewery, Ollantaytambo’s Pachamanca and a long day with 2 farming families in Cusco’s high jungle, roasting cacao and coffee at the source. That day starts early and involves a long drive over the Andes; a half-day cooking class in Cusco is the alternative.
10 days, fine dining. The gourmet tour (from USD 4,938) suits couples and food lovers who want tasting menus and comfort: Museo Larco, an optional table at one of Lima’s top restaurants, MIL above Moray, a Vistadome Observatory or Hiram Bingham train and a private cocktail evening in Cusco.

Every culinary tour sends you to the Sacred Valley, at about 9,200 ft (2,800 m), straight from Cusco airport, so you acclimatize lower before sleeping in Cusco at about 11,150 ft (3,400 m). Prices are per person, from, and exclude international and domestic flights.
Peru has been named World’s Leading Culinary Destination at the World Travel Awards 13 times, every year from 2012 to 2019 and again from 2021 to 2025. The 2 Lima restaurants that topped the World’s 50 Best list, Central in 2023 and Maido in 2025, are among the hardest tables in South America to get, so tell us early if you want us to try for one.
