ACCLAIMED food blogger Lorraine Elliot (aka Not Quite Nigella) will take travellers on a mouthwatering journey to Peru in September.
Highlights of this carefully curated itinerary lie in its money-can't-buy experiences. They include exclusive VIP access to the Mistura Food Festival opening day event (Latin America's largest food festival) to meet Peru's best chefs and taste the best dishes the country has to offer; a private dinner in one of Lima's historic colonial mansions, Casa Aliaga; and an exclusive cooking class at the private residence of a leading chef.
As well as visiting Machu Picchu there will be a series of signature dining events at selected top restaurants including Central and Maido (currently ranked the fifth and eighth in San Pellegrino's World's Best Restaurants).
Priced at $10,995 per person twin share, the package includes private transfers, internal flights, a personal tour concierge for the small group of 10, and 13 nights' accommodation in luxurious boutique hotels. The tour runs September 6-19.
Bookings made by August 25 will receive free room upgrades and one free night in Lima valued at $750. Terms and conditions apply.
