 Cancha: Giant roasted corn kernals...so savory!

 Chicha Morada: Sweet purple corn drink (Very different to the homemade prepared version I had in Peru)

Tuna Ceviche

 Papas a la Huancaina: Potatoes, boiled egg, and olive, all smothered with a spicy sauce

 Anticuchos: Beef Heart!! (It's good!)

Seafood ceviche (I think) Such a pretty presentation!

Fried Yucca (a type of shrubbery) with dipping sauce

Lomo Saltado (beef) with Noodles

Traditional Lomo Saltado

Unfortunately I don't remember what this dish is called or what it consists of. It might be some variation of shredded chicken?

Yay Peruvian cuisine!
