It was almost thirteen years ago that I last traveled to South America, when I had the incredible fortune to visit the Amazon rainforest in Suriname during college. The trip was life-changing, as it was only my second time outside of the United States, and I learned that if I could survive the piranha, mosquitos, bats, lizards, spiders and numerous other jungle creatures, I could pretty much travel anywhere. Over a decade later, I finally had the chance to return to the continent for a work trip. This was my first time traveling to Peru, and even though it was an insane whirlwind few days of work, I managed to experience some of the local flavor. And by local flavor, I mean I ate ceviche and drank pisco sours like they were going out of style. Lima is a costal city, and is known these days for being a top destination in the world for foodies. In fact, you can currently find 3 of the top 50 restaurants in the world in Lima, including one way up in the top 5 (by comparison, 6 on the list are in the US, and 5 in France).
While I didn't visit any of the fancy restos, I did have some pretty spectacular food throughout the three days I was in LIma, including a few awesome meals at Huaca Pucllana and El Mercado. And yes, I did try cuy, but I think that may have been a one and done experience.
