In the cause of researching Peruvian eateries in the UK, my daughter and I had the pleasure of having a 'menu del dia' at Sabor Peruano in Elephant & Castle, London.

It was the real deal: starter options were papa rellena (stuffed potato) and a beef soup; main course was either arroz con pollo (chicken with rice) or beef stew. With a soft drink ... all for £12 per person. Unpretentious and delicious.

An accidental love affair

PeruNorth’s love affair with Latin America began in 1999, when founder, Miles Buesst, arrived there to work as a tour leader for an adventure holiday company. 75 tours, a Masters in Latin American Studies and a Peruvian family later, he is still enamoured of the place, and still finding new delights and surprises.

The cultural exchange was not all one-way though, as Miles has been deeply involved in the growth of the game of cricket in Peru, having been both the captain of the Peruvian men’s cricket team, the Llamas, and the Secretary of Cricket Peru.

Despite having an Australian father, he now divides his time between Lima and the UK. Being often in Peru gives him first-hand access to the various hotel, agency and boat owners and to any operational and environmental developments in the region.

Over the years, his ear-to-the-ground knowledge has been employed by various guidebooks, including National Geographic Traveller: Peru, DK Eyewitness, Footprint: South America Handbook and Viva Peru!
