Luchito’s is a hands-on Peruvian cooking class in Lima, held on the open-air terrace of SAHA in Miraflores, a short walk from Kennedy Park. In about two and a half hours you cook ceviche and causa limeña, or papa a la huancaína and lomo saltado in the evening, shake a pisco sour, and sit down to eat everything you made, all guided by passionate local chefs in English or Spanish.
At Luchito’s, it’s more than just a class…it’s a cultural journey. Hear the stories behind the flavors, pick up expert tips, and enjoy the dishes you’ve made in a fun social setting at our unique rooftop location.
