Tour with a local research chef through the history and Creole flavors of the historic heart of Lima.

I invite you to explore the heart of the Historic Center with me.

My name is Víctor Hugo Urteaga, a chef and researcher passionate about the history of Lima's Creole cuisine.

This is not a traditional gastronomic tour, but a living walk where flavors, memory, and the city intertwine to understand who we are.


🌆 We start in front of the Museum of Italian Art, a key point to understand how Lima built its cosmopolitan face. Then we walk towards the pre-Hispanic past at Plaza Francia and the Josefina Ramos de Cox Museum, to discover the oldest roots of our diet.


From there, we embark on a sensory journey that connects history, migrations, traditional dishes, and key figures of Lima's culture such as Pancho Fierro, Ricardo Palma, and Rosa Mercedes Ayarza, among many others.


Throughout this tour, we will not only taste and talk about food: we will read the city from a different and deeper angle, understanding where we come from, who contributed their inputs, who we are today, and how all of this shaped the gastronomic boom that Peru is experiencing.

I have over 15 years of experience in gastronomy. I trained at INTECI, took courses at Le Cordon Bleu Peru and USIL, and am currently studying tourism at ISIL. I am also an associate member of the World Food Travel Association (WFTA). I have worked in signature restaurants with chefs such as Israel Laura, Jaime Pesaque, Arlette Eulert, Coque Ossio, among others, as well as on independent projects that have allowed me to explore diverse forms of cuisine and hospitality. I created this experience to share more than just flavors: I want you to discover the soul of Lima through its Creole cuisine, its people, and its living memory. I don't guide tourists; I accompany people on their visit to Lima. Each tour is unique, intimate, and tailored to the group. We walk together through the heart of the City of Kings to savor its history, its identity, and its contrasts.
