Held at Costa Verde seaside area of Magdalena del Mar district in Lima, the internationally recognized food festival “Mistura” will open its doors today at 10 a.m. promoting Artisanal Food as this year’s theme among half a million food lovers.
Over a ten day period, foodies will able to taste innovative dishes and drinks and learn how to cook them at live conferences by renowned chefs, who will showcase Peru’s flagship products.
Activities also include traditional moments and concerts by artists of different genres.
Unlike last year, this time people will have the chance to get half portions at a lower price (S/.7 – about $2.10), while full portions will cost S/.13 (about $4). Half portions are a good option for those interested in tasting many types of food.
Organizers (Apega) offer a series of options such as two-, three- and five-hour journeys by night or full day as a way to structure fair goers’ visit.
Each option includes a suggested menu plan for dishes, drinks and desserts, as well as recommendations of activities to complete their visit at the fair, including stops at the Grand Market, the Apega amphitheater, the Pico Hall, the Craft Beer area, and the “Camioncitos del sabor”(small food trucks).
Reaching the place will not be a problem thanks to the implementation of a new Metropolitano bus service, which picks up in Downtown Lima and takes passengers to the very door of the event.
Those interested in finding more information about the most important gastronomic event in Latin America are invited to visit Mistura.pe.
