Vegan Peru: Plant-Based Food Guide

Peru has a surprisingly strong foundation for plant-based eating, dishes like causa rellena, papas a la huancaína (ask for it without cheese), and quinoa-based stews have been staples of Andean cooking for centuries. Miraflores and Barranco in Lima lead the way for dedicated vegan restaurants, with a growing cluster of spots serving everything from ceviche de champiñones to raw desserts. Across the country, the market scene and rising health-food consciousness mean vegan travellers have more options every year, particularly in Cusco and Arequipa.
