Lima — the gastronomic capital of South America — is embracing plant-based cuisine with 125+ vegan-friendly venues. Peruvian food is already rich in plant-based ingredients like quinoa, potatoes, and ají peppers, making the transition natural. Miraflores and Barranco lead with creative vegan ceviches (using hearts of palm and mushrooms), while local markets in Surquillo offer affordable superfoods you won't find anywhere else. Lima's vegan movement proves that world-class cuisine needs no animal products.
