Aventuras con cuchillo y tenedor
11/18/2012

Lucas y su esposa Samantha Lewis crearon la agencia de turismo Capital Culinaria hace once meses. Antes vivían en Madrid y cuando se mudaron a Lima empezaron a buscar un negocio al que dedicarse. Mientras tanto los amigos que tenían  por el mundo les anunciaban sus visitas. Como buenos anfitriones pensaban que la mejor manera de recibirlos era llevarlos a comer. De allí nació la idea de crear una ruta gastronómica. "La idea es que los grupos no sean mayores de seis personas. Nos gusta que sea personalizado. Queremos que se sientan como si un amigo o un familiar los llevara a pasear", explica Lucas.

We had planned to be in Lima for a couple of days and like typical tourists, were looking to do the touristy things – experience the food, the people, visit the historical landmarks ‘et al. Yet, at the same time, we wanted to do something that would give us a taste of Peru; something the locals would do. And that happened on our 2nd day when we met a local couple – Sam & Lucas. OK, it was no accident that we met them; they run a culinary tour company, called Capital Culinaria Lima Gourmet Tours and I found them from their almost perfect TripAdvisor reviews.
