This wasn't just another city tour—it was an opportunity to meet local families, explore neighborhood markets, share authentic Peruvian food, and experience a side of Lima that most tourists never get permission to see.
During this experience, we visited a community kitchen, learned how these neighborhoods were built, explored a bustling local market, sampled traditional foods like Lomo Saltado, Chicha de Jora, Tocosh, fresh tropical fruits, and even met the local leaders working to improve life in the community. Along the way, my guide Leo shared the history, challenges, and resilience of the people who call these hillside neighborhoods home.
A huge thank you to Leo and the team at Haku Tours for making this such an eye-opening experience. One of the reasons I chose this tour is because the company works directly with the local community and reinvests part of its profits into community projects and opportunities. If you'd like to experience this tour yourself, I'll leave Leo's contact information and the tour company below.
