One of the highlights is travelling on one of the famous funicular's which are still in operation to this day. This allows a different perspective of the city , where you can witness the spectacular views from the buildings and houses that climb up the hanging hills of the city. Return back to your hotel at the end of the tour, where the remainder of the day is at your own leisure.
Today you will enjoy a cooking class with a small group. Your first stop will be at the nearby local markets to assist in purchasing the produce that will be required for the cooking experience.

You will even get a lesson in mastering the art of making the perfect Pisco Sour, to enjoy with all the delicious food you have prepared.
