Mijn stage begon meteen op de best mogelijke manier, ik\nmoest namelijk \u00e9\u00e9n van onze food tours uitproberen. Zo begon mijn eerste\nstagedag dus in Barranco, het meest gezellige en artistieke district van Lima,\nom 9:00 uur met Gonzalo (\u00e9\u00e9n van onze gidsen). Op het programma stond een 4 uur\ndurende wandeling door de straten van Barranco met stops in restaurants en de\nlokale markt om de meest bekende gerechten van het land te proeven. Drie dagen\nlater volgde ik een andere food tour in het historisch centrum, waar ik opnieuw\nallerlei heerlijke gerechten te proeven kreeg, met uitgebreide uitleg van onze\ngids Nathaly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the\nother weeks of my internship I have followed several times these food tours,\nbut for other reasons, such as for famtrips or simply to evaluate new guides.\nIn our office we develop and manage these tours, which is a daily process as\nthere is always room for improvement. Other tasks and responsibilities that I\nhad during these past 4 months include business development and operation\nmanagement. The business development part consisted mainly in research of other\ndistribution channels such as OTA\u2019s, TO\u2019s and TA\u2019s and contacting them. Besides\nthe direct sales through our website, we are also bookable on Viator, Expedia,\nAirBnB, TripAdvisor, Civitatis and many other online platforms. We also receive\nreservations from travel agencies based here in Peru or in other parts of the\nworld such as France or the United States. My operational tasks consisted of coordinating\nwith our guides, drivers and suppliers before, during and after our tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exquisito Peru<\/a> is een zeer jong bedrijf opgericht door 2 expats, Jessy en Emilie, die gastronomie en toerisme als gemeenschappelijke passies hadden. Na mijn eerste stagemaand kwam ook Lou, een Franse stagiaire zich bijvoegen aan de groep. Dit zorgde ervoor dat op ons gezellig coworking kantoortje zowel Frans, Spaans als Engels werd gesproken. Dankzij mijn Peruaanse roots kon ik me eenvoudig aanpassen aan de lokale cultuur zowel op het werk als in het dagelijkse leven. Ik woon namelijk bij familieleden in San Juan de Lurigancho, het meest bevolkte district van Lima (1 miljoen inwoners van de 11 miljoen die de metropool Lima-Callao telt). Een heel ander leven dan in het rustige Nossegem waar ik in Belgi\u00eb woon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nenriching internship has been a wonderful experience which has helped me\nunderstanding better the history behind the rich gastronomic culture that Peru owns\nas well as Peruvian culture in general. I am definitely taking some recipes back\nhome in order to cook a delicious ceviche <\/em>or causa lime\u00f1a.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Al 7 jaar op rij wordt Lima verkozen tot \u2019s werelds beste culinaire bestemming door de World Travel Awards. Een stage bij Exquisito Peru geeft duidelijk weer hoe de Peruaanse hoofdstad in de afgelopen jaren is uitgegroeid tot een gastronomische trekpleister.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":631,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stage"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pavQFa-bx","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/631"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=715"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":719,"href":"https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715\/revisions\/719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
