WHEN ANTHONY BOURDAIN mused on the inseparability of food, people and landscapes, he must've been thinking of Peru. The land of the Inca, where the majestic Andes meets the verdant Amazon, is a grand tapestry of natural splendour.

However, the landscape is not just a backdrop-it's an active participant in daily life, shaping its people and their culinary traditions. The Peruvians, who hail from these magnificent mountains, radiate a spirit larger than life itself. Their world is a vibrant canvas painted with joyous smiles; their culture a rich mosaic of song, dance and vivid cuisine that echoes their zest for life.

Peruvian food mirrors its majestic landscapes and people. Here, the traditional three-act structure of breakfast, lunch and dinner is replaced by a gastronomic rhythm that celebrates four meals a day. The philosophy is simple yet profound: with food this exquisite, one should indulge at every opportunity.

Even so, it takes an insider-a true expert on the country's people and culinary heritage-to help unlock doors and introduce flavours otherwise invisible to cursory visitors. If you are a gourmand who desires travel dining experiences that aren't simply exceptional, but also deeply profound and personal, Scott Dunn Private is your best bet.
