Who is Peru? – RY Marketplace

Marketplace

Description
This is a Peruvian version of ‘Who is America?’ This afternoon tour will give you the perfect introduction to Peruvian culture and a bit of our history in a fun, funny way. You will learn about us in a unique, completely different style, this is not the typical touristy guided tour!

First we’ll drive to the Morro Solar in Chorrillos. From here you will have a good sight of the city. On one side you will see all the nice apartments overlooking the Pacific ocean, on the other, you will see the slums or aka the shanty towns of Peru’s capitol city. Then you will learn about the war between Peru and Chile and will find out why we love each other so much 😅. After that we will visit the Peru brand and learn about Limeños (people from Lima) and how a single video has changed drastically our “culture” and mindset in the last decade.

Then we’ll head back to Selina where a special local guest will be teaching us about Pisco, Peru’s national drink. You’ll learn about the history, the origins and how to make variations of our two classic cocktails, the Pisco Sour and Chilcano, and will of course finish our event tasting a few of those drinks (or more!).

Things You Should Know 
– The Morro Solar in Chorrillos is up on a hill, right by the ocean, so it can get very very windy. Bring a jacket to stay warm and cozy.
– This place is also a desertic hill so I would sugest sneakers, casual shoes. No high heels or nice leather shoes.
– Bring lots of smiles, it should be a fun night!!

What happens if my booking is changed/cancelled due to weather?

We’ll control the weather. Just kidding! Remote Year can’t control the weather or many other factors that go into planning events. In the event of a change due to weather, the City Manager will do their best to provide a make-up option. Due to last minute changes and busy monthly schedules, we cannot guarantee it works for everyone but we’ll do our best! If you are not able to attend the make-up date(s), we will fully refund your booking.

I have a discount or gift code, can I use it to complete my purchase?

Yes, once you add your item to your cart and check out, you will be able to input the code before completing the purchase. If you need help finding your code, please double check your inbox. You received an email from Marketplace with the code.
