From London to South America: Mysticur's Curated Culinary Journey for a Young Female Couple

When Lucy and Clara, a young couple from London, approached Mysticur with a unique request—a food-centric journey through South America—we knew this would be a trip to remember. They envisioned savoring authentic flavors, exploring local culinary traditions, and immersing themselves in the vibrant cultures of this breathtaking continent. Our team got to work, crafting a personalized itinerary that blended culinary delights, cultural exploration, and plenty of relaxation.

Here’s a glimpse into their journey and how Mysticur made it possible.

• Dreaming Big in Lima, Peru

Lucy and Clara’s journey began in Lima, the gastronomic capital of South America. Mysticur designed their time in Peru around both the city’s world-famous restaurants and its bustling local food markets.

Mysticur’s Suggestions:

• Cooking Classes: We arranged a private session with a local chef, where they learned to prepare ceviche, Peru’s iconic dish.

• Fine Dining Experience: A reservation at the award-winning restaurant Central, ranked among the best in the world.

• Local Market Tours: A guided visit to Mercado de Surquillo, where they sampled exotic fruits like lúcuma and maracuya and saw freshly caught seafood.

Lucy shared, “We didn’t just eat ceviche; we made it ourselves, learning why lime acidity and ají peppers are so important to Peruvian cooking. Mysticur even helped us navigate the market with a translator!”

Highlight Dish: Ceviche

• Passion and Flavor in Argentina

Next, Lucy and Clara flew to Buenos Aires, where their food journey centered on Argentina’s unmatched love for beef, wine, and decadent desserts. Mysticur balanced their itinerary with city excitement and countryside charm in Mendoza.

Mysticur’s Suggestions:

• Asado Masterclass: We arranged for them to join a traditional asado, Argentina’s famous barbecue, hosted by a local family.

• Wine Tasting in Mendoza: Guided vineyard tours where they enjoyed Malbec paired with charcuterie.

• Tango and Food Tour: An evening of tango lessons followed by empanadas and alfajores in a cozy neighborhood restaurant.

Clara remarked, “The asado masterclass was such a personal touch. We even got to try grilling cuts of beef ourselves under the guidance of our host family!”

Highlight Dish: Asado

• Rhythm and Flavor in Brazil

The final leg of the journey was in Brazil, where Lucy and Clara indulged in bold flavors and colorful dishes. From the samba streets of Rio de Janeiro to the Afro-Brazilian influences in Salvador, their experience was as dynamic as it was delicious.

Mysticur’s Suggestions:

• Samba and Street Food Tour in Rio: Sampling coxinha, pão de queijo, and brigadeiros while dancing to live samba music.

• Traditional Feijoada in Salvador: Dining with locals at a family-owned eatery, enjoying this hearty black bean and pork stew.

• Cooking Workshop: A hands-on class making moqueca (seafood stew) with coconut milk and dendê oil.

Lucy exclaimed, “The samba tour was like a carnival for the taste buds—each street vendor had a story, and Mysticur’s guides made sure we never felt lost!”
