Lima is one of the world’s great food cities, its food culture inspired as much by the Andes as it is by sea. Spanish and Inca cultures come together and mix with Asian influences.

Al Jazeera did a great series a few years ago exploring different cities through their street food. Here are two short videos that give you a tour of Lima’s street food scene.

Ceviche, lomito saltado, picarones, lucama ice cream, ummmmm
