Hello, travelers! When we think of luxury experiences in Peru, we often picture dining at some of the world’s top restaurants, such as Central or Maido. However, there is a proposal that takes fine dining to a whole new level: our Luxury Picnic in the Peruvian Andes, where nature itself becomes the most exclusive dining room, and sophisticated gastronomy unfolds against unforgettable backdrops.
This is not just an ordinary picnic — it is a Michelin-level feast set amidst sacred mountains, turquoise lagoons, or ancient valleys. Here, elegance is measured not only by crystal glasses and fine china, but also by the ability to transform a breathtaking natural landscape into an intimate and memorable space.
Luxury Picnic
A Luxury Picnic in the Andes is much more than an outdoor lunch: it is an exclusive experience where haute cuisine merges with the majesty of the Andean landscapes. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, endless valleys, and crystal-clear lagoons, each encounter is designed to impress with elegance, privacy, and harmony with nature.
It is a truly unique experience that combines incomparable settings with world-class service — crafted for those who seek to discover Peru in a sophisticated, authentic, and unforgettable way.
Gastronomía de altura
The culinary proposal is the heart of this experience. We have a team of internationally experienced chefs, trained in Michelin-starred restaurants and specialized 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 tailor-made and can take the form of a Maido-style seven-course tasting, or a regional gastronomic experience inspired by native Andean ingredients.
We offer three main proposals:
Premium Menu
It is a gastronomic proposal that elevates the most representative flavors of Andean cuisine with a contemporary approach. Iconic products such as quinoa, trout, corn, and native potatoes are transformed into signature preparations that respect tradition while surprising with their presentation and modern techniques.
Structure of the Premium Menu:
- Starters (to choose from traditional options):
- Ceviches or tiraditos
- Causas
- Fresh salads
- Soups
- Potato salad
- Main courses (choice of up to 2 options per group):
- Lomo saltado
- Ají de gallina
- Arroz chaufa with pork
- Lomo Stroganoff
- Seasonal dessert
Deluxe Menu
It is a gastronomic experience that transcends borders. Inspired by haute cuisine techniques from around the world, it fuses ingredients from the Peruvian coast, highlands, and jungle with international influences, achieving a refined culinary journey that is further elevated with selected pairings.
This menu is designed to surprise the most demanding palates, integrating creativity, aesthetics, and flavor balance in every bite. A unique experience that transforms a mountain picnic into a true luxury banquet in the open air.
Structure of the Deluxe Menu (example of five courses):
- Japanese cucumber sunomono with local seaweeds (cochayuyo and cushuro).
- Trout usuzukuri (tiradito) with aguaymanto ponzu, nori paper, and local seaweeds.
- Potato flower causa with chicken in ceviche sauce.
- Hot curry ceviche served with cassava flour.
- Cacao cake
Luxury Menu (Nikkei Experience)
It is the ultimate expression of our culinary proposal. Inspired by the Japan–Peru fusion that has placed restaurants like Maido among the best in the world, this experience brings Nikkei cuisine to unique natural settings such as mountains, lagoons, and sacred valleys.
Each dish is a true work of art, combining top-quality local products with modern techniques and a creativity that surprises in every detail. Eight courses designed to captivate the senses, in a banquet like no other that redefines the concept of haute cuisine in nature.
Structure of the Luxury Menu (example of eight courses):
- Japanese cucumber sunomono with local seaweeds (cochayuyo and cushuro).
- Cured trout with high-altitude coffee, orange, and spices.
- Scallop with Brazilian ají cheiro and touches of Andean peppers.
- Scallop with arracacha purée and Parmesan cheese.
- Tuna tiradito with smoked yellow chili.
- Potato flower causa with shrimp tartare.
- Handmade udon-style noodles with curry and vegetables.
- Cacao cake.
In addition, all menus are fully customizable: we design exclusive alternatives for vegans, vegetarians, celiacs, and kosher requirements, respecting every dietary restriction without losing the gourmet essence.
A Luxury Service Amidst the Andean Landscape
What sets our luxury picnic in the Andes apart is the meticulous care dedicated to every aspect of the experience. From the choice of the 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 come together to deliver a unique moment tailored for the most discerning palates.
What truly distinguishes our Luxury Picnic is the attention to detail. Each element is carefully selected so that the natural environment becomes a stage worthy of the finest tastes:
- Premium catering and setup with luxury tableware, fine china, designer cutlery, and impeccable glassware.
- Boutique tents and bespoke furniture, adapted to provide comfort and elegance, even in the most remote locations.
- Highly trained staff, with experience in Michelin-starred restaurants, offering discreet, professional, and warm service.
- Internationally renowned chefs, with backgrounds in the world’s most prestigious kitchens, who transform each dish into a true work of art.
Locaciones exclusivas
Our picnics do not take place just anywhere, but in carefully selected settings designed to make each experience unique and unrepeatable. Nature is not merely a backdrop, but the very essence of the journey: mountains reflected in crystal-clear lagoons, valleys where time seems to stand still, canyons that impress with their grandeur, and private gardens that blend history with sophistication.
Each location is chosen with great care so that the beauty of the surroundings becomes part of the feast itself. The whisper of the Andean wind, the sparkle of sunlight on the water, or the majesty of a condor in flight intertwine with haute cuisine, transforming a picnic into an extraordinary memory where nature and gastronomy converge into one:
Sacred Valley of the Incas
- In the heart of the Andes, the Sacred Valley offers settings where history and nature meet. In Maras and Tiobamba, fields and mountains create an intimate and authentic atmosphere, while the Huaypo Lagoon mirrors the snow-capped peaks that surround it. It is the perfect place for those seeking a picnic framed by tradition, culture, and unforgettable landscapes.
Rainbow Mountain (Montaña de Colores)
- A setting that seems painted by nature itself. The red, green, yellow, and ocher tones of the earth create a vibrant canvas, the perfect frame for a luxury table set in the midst of an unforgettable landscape. Savoring haute cuisine here is an experience that blends visual wonder with the exquisiteness of every bite.
Humantay Lagoon
- With its intense turquoise waters, Humantay Lagoon rises at the foot of glaciers that inspire both respect and admiration. This magical place becomes the perfect sanctuary for a luxury picnic, where the freshness of the pure air and the majesty of the surrounding mountains transform the experience into a moment of absolute connection with nature.
Cusco City
- Amidst Inca and colonial heritage, Cusco offers private and exclusive spaces to enjoy a truly distinctive picnic. Charming gardens, colonial courtyards, and terraces overlooking historic churches and cobblestone streets are transformed into elegant settings, where tradition and sophistication seamlessly intertwine.
Lake Titicaca, Puno
- The highest navigable lake in the world is also one of the most sacred settings in the Andes. Surrounded by myths and traditions, Lake Titicaca offers a serene and majestic atmosphere for a luxury picnic on private islands or along its shores, where the horizon seems infinite and the experience becomes profoundly spiritual.
Colca Canyon
- Amidst towering cliffs and the majestic flight of condors, the Colca Canyon offers a setting that astonishes at every turn. Enjoying a picnic here means savoring a banquet surrounded by raw nature and unparalleled beauty, where every moment becomes a celebration of life and luxury in the Andes.
Each location is carefully chosen to become an intimate space, where nature and gastronomy engage in perfect harmony.
An experience comparable to the world’s finest restaurants
If you have already enjoyed culinary journeys at Central or Maido, you will discover that the greatness of our proposal lies in bringing that same level of excellence into the outdoors—into places where nature casts its spell and time seems to stand still.
More than a picnic, it is a luxury banquet under the stars, a lunch by the shores of a sacred lagoon, a champagne toast amidst the Andes. An experience designed for travelers who seek exclusivity, authenticity, and memories that last forever.
