Mistura, one of the biggest gastronomic events in Latin America, is
returning to its original location this year: Lima’s Costa Verde in the
district of Magdalena. From the last week of August throughout
the first week of September, dozens of stands showcasing the
incredible variety and wealth of Peruvian products and local
edible delights will be visited by hundreds of people. LimaTours
will be offering a special programme to our passengers who look
to make the most of this mouth-watering event.

THE DAKAR RALLY
WILL BE 100% PERU
Apega
For the first time in history, the Dakar Rally will be held in only
one country: Peru. The 2019 edition of the Off-Road Race – the
most important car race in the world – will take place from the
6th to the 17th of January. Beginning and ending in Lima, the 10
legs of the race will traverse through exciting Peruvian territory.
Thanks to Dakar’s importance and following, Peru will not only
experience better international exposure, but will also receive
an increase in visitors as fans make their way to witness this
automobile spectacle.

MISTURA
BY THE SEA
Starting the 15th of August, Latam Airlines will begin operating
direct flights between Cusco and Santiago, Chile. The flights
will be available three times per week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays,
and Saturdays), departing from Cusco in the morning and from
Santiago in the afternoons. Flights will be chartered on Airbus
A319 planes, which can carry up to 144 passengers. This new
service looks to better connect the two cities and reduce the
amount of flight traffic through Lima.
