Peru Luxury Travel: Fine Restaurants of Lima

Many aspects can be taken into account when planning a luxury vacation to Peru: the way you move, the way you live, and the way you eat.

Beyond the delicious street food and local hole-in-the-walls called hariques, Lima has all the 5-star dining areas and everything you’re looking for and more to fit into your Peru luxury travel plans.

As a first time visitor to Lima or inaugural trip to Peru, one cannot miss trying the ceviche. The classic, national dish is made of a raw fish or seafood mixture marinated in fresh lime juice, a little bit of spicy aji pepper, and garnished with features such as lettuce, red onion, and salty choclo corn kernels. It is a very light dish perfect for a relaxing afternoon, but you’ll still find yourself satisfied after a hearty plate of ceviche. Pair your entr?e with a light beer, and soon you’ll even feel Lime?o! In Lima, there are dozens of renowned cevicherias that serve their namesake specialty typically during lunchtime hours. La Mar, owned and run by the famous Peruvian chef Gaston Acurio, is one of the more coveted dining locations. Reservations are not accepted, so be sure to arrive early around opening. Another of Gaston’s star restaurants is Gaston y Astrid, the top of the top of Lima’s cuisine map.

Cheap Family Vacations: Myth or Reality in Today’s Economy?

Here’s earth-shattering news…cheap family vacations are what families like yours are frantically looking for. In today’s economy you just can’t afford to be putting your family in severe debt just to afford a decent vacation.

What’s the point of being miserable on vacation because your family is cramped into a small hotel room or worse yet a tiny motel room? And staying with relatives all the time when you go on vacation is a good way to wear out the welcome mat real fast.

Is this what you really call a vacation? Unfortunately for most families this is what budget family vacations looked like.

And for those families who don’t know the “secret” that thousands of die-hard travelers have turned to for decades, it just may be the way your next vacation may turn out to be…until today.

This is the day that you learn that you can absolutely take cheap family vacations and stay at luxury resorts without putting your family on the path to financial suicide.
