Mercado N 2 de Surquillo
The Surquillo district is currently becoming Lima's new gastronomic capital, and it all started with the Surquillo 2 market, thanks to its wide variety of fresh and organic produce, as well as the delicious food in its on-site restaurants! Here, we'll try the daily menu and eat like a local Limeño! We'll visit the meat, vegetable, and fruit sections, and you'll see the wide variety of products this great market offers! Afterwards, we'll try Peru's most representative dish, Ceviche. It will surely be one of the freshest dishes you'll try in the city. You can practice your Spanish here with my vendor friends.
