PERU
Land of the legendary Incas, Peru is home to one of the earliest civilizations and richest history in the world. From the Amazon, to the Andes, to the coastline, the bustling capital city, or the mythical Machu Picchu, Peru will bring any traveller absolute delight. An incredibly biodiverse country, Peru is home to over 3,000 varieties of potatoes, wild produce and giant corn, so big you'll gasp with shock. With a bountiful land and ethnically diverse country, it's no wonder Peru has seen a wave of culinary nods becoming one of the world's most revered gastronomic destinations. One taste of their Nikkei dishes, and you'll understand why.

Arrange a collection of fresh fruit around the bowls. Peru has a diverse collection of fruit. Keep your eyes open for Lucuma (wildly popular in Peru, but difficult to find elsewhere), Tuna Fruit (prickly pears), Guayaba (guava), and Pitahaya (dragonfruit).
