Hello, travelers! When we talk about luxury experiences in Peru, we usually think of dinners at the world's finest restaurants, such as Central or Maido. However, there is one offering that takes haute cuisine to a different level: our Luxury Picnic in the Peruvian Andes, where nature becomes the most exclusive lounge and the most sophisticated cuisine unfolds in unforgettable settings.
This isn't just a simple picnic, but a banquet worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant, served amidst sacred mountains, turquoise lagoons, or ancient valleys. Here, elegance isn't measured solely in crystal glasses and fine tableware, but also in the ability to transform a natural landscape into an intimate and memorable space.
A Luxury Picnic in the Andes is much more than an al fresco lunch: it's an exclusive experience where haute cuisine merges with the majesty of the Andean landscapes. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, endless valleys, and crystalline lagoons, each experience is designed to surprise with its elegance, privacy, and harmony with nature.
This is a unique experience that combines incomparable settings with first-class service, designed for those seeking to discover Peru in a sophisticated, authentic, and memorable way.
The culinary offering is at the heart of this experience. We have a team of internationally renowned chefs, trained in Michelin-starred restaurants and specializing in Peruvian and Nikkei cuisine, capable of bringing cutting-edge techniques to the most unexpected places: a mountain, a valley, the shore of a lagoon, or even the top of a viewpoint.
Each picnic is custom-designed and can take the form of a 7-course Maido-style tasting or a regional gastronomic experience inspired by ingredients native to the Andes.
What distinguishes our luxury picnic in the Andes is the dedication with which every aspect of the experience is taken care of. From the choice of natural setting to the staging and service, everything is designed to create an exclusive and sophisticated atmosphere. Gastronomy, personalized attention, and harmony with the landscape combine to offer a unique moment, designed for the most discerning palates.
What sets our Luxury Picnic apart is the attention to detail. Every element is selected to transform the natural setting into a setting worthy of the most discerning palates:
Premium catering and set-up with luxury tableware, fine tableware, designer cutlery, and impeccable glassware.
Boutique tents and specialized furniture, adapted to provide comfort and elegance, even in the most remote settings.
Highly trained staff, trained in Michelin-starred restaurants, offer discreet, professional, and warm service.
Internationally renowned chefs, with experience in the world's most renowned cuisines, transform each dish into a work of art.
Our picnics don't take place in just any corner, but in carefully selected settings to ensure each experience is unique and unforgettable. Nature is not just a backdrop, but the very essence of the experience: mountains reflected in crystalline lagoons, valleys where time seems to stand still, canyons that impress with their grandeur, and private gardens that combine history with sophistication.
Each space is carefully chosen so that the beauty of the surroundings becomes part of the feast. The sound of the Andean wind, the reflection of the sun on the water, or the majesty of a condor in flight intertwine with haute cuisine, transforming a picnic into an extraordinary memory where the beauty of the surroundings becomes part of the experience:
In the heart of the Andes, the Sacred Valley offers settings where history and nature intersect. In Maras and Tiobamba, the fields and mountains create an intimate and authentic setting, while the Huaypo Lagoon reflects the surrounding peaks in its waters. It is a perfect place for those looking for a picnic surrounded by tradition, culture, and unforgettable landscapes.
A setting that seems painted by nature. The red, green, yellow, and ochre tones of the earth form a vibrant canvas, ideal for framing a luxurious table amidst a unique landscape. Savoring haute cuisine in this place is an experience that combines visual wonder with the exquisiteness of each bite.
With intense turquoise waters, Humantay Lagoon rises at the foot of glaciers that inspire respect and admiration. This magical place becomes the perfect sanctuary for a luxurious picnic, where the freshness of the pure air and the majesty of the mountains transform the experience into a moment of absolute connection with nature.
Amidst Inca and colonial heritage, Cusco offers private and exclusive spaces for a unique picnic. Charming gardens, colonial patios, and terraces overlooking churches and historic streets become elegant settings, where tradition and sophistication intertwine.
The highest navigable lake in the world is also one of the most sacred places in the Andes. Surrounded by myths and traditions, Lake Titicaca offers a serene and majestic setting for a luxurious picnic on private islands or by the water's edge, where the horizon seems endless and the experience becomes deeply spiritual.
Between towering chasms and the majestic flight of condors, the Colca Canyon offers a setting that surprises at every turn. Having a picnic here is like enjoying a banquet surrounded by extreme nature and unparalleled beauty, where every moment becomes a celebration of life and luxury in the Andes.
If you've already enjoyed culinary experiences at Central or Maido, you'll discover that the greatness of our proposal lies in bringing that same excellence to the outdoors, in places where nature imposes its magic and time seems to stand still.
More than a picnic, it's a luxurious banquet under the stars, a lunch on the shores of a sacred lagoon, a champagne toast in the middle of the Andes. It's an experience designed for travelers seeking exclusivity, authenticity, and memories that will last forever.
