New Food-Focused Itineraries from Wilderness Travel Worth a Taste

For travelers seeking authentic, locally focused experiences in unique destinations, Wilderness Travel offers new food-focused itineraries.

“Food has become one of the most powerful ways to understand a destination for many people,” said Scott Abbott, managing director, Wilderness Travel. “Our culinary journeys go beyond dining — they bring travelers into kitchens, markets, vineyards and communities, creating meaningful connections through every meal.”

Wilderness Travel’s Hidden Flavors of Peru & Bolivia tour takes participants across the two countries over 13 days, visiting markets, restaurants and wineries in Tarija and La Paz in Bolivia, before heading into Lima and Cusco. Prices start at $10,195 with 2026 departures in October.
