Lorena Pestana is an artist and jeweller whose brand embodies and celebrates the Peruvian flora and fauna, the history, devotion and craft of artisans and ancient civilizations (such as the Incas) in the world of jewellery. Her one-of-a-kind collections revolve around animals, others around specific gems and minerals, but they are congruent to the minimalistic, dainty and exceptional essence of the brand. 

When it’s time to diversify from Pisco Sours and Chilcanos, freshen up with a glass of vino at Curador in Miraflores. One of three projects grouped under the same roof at Casa O, which is led by chef and sommelier Andrés Orellana, dip into a selection of wines by the glass that includes Peruvian labels; they are often made with one of the eight designated pisco grapes. There’s also a selection of cocktails: order the lesser-known Peruvian classic, the Capitán made with pisco, vermouth rosso and bitters. Whatever you’re drinking don’t miss the yuca rosti stuffed with a buttery Cajamarcan stracciatella-like cheese. 

They get it. 12-hour plane rides to Paris are not considered casual pastimes or lighthearted activities.  Dedicated to those who love authentic steak tartare or l’entrecôte, for those who dream about juicy escargots and a life-changing foie gras and mushroom Crème Brûlée. Le Coq is a serene and sophisticated French restaurant that brings the flavours of Parisian bistros and brasseries all across the ocean to Lima.
