Hello, my name is Colleen and I am moving to Lima as a practicing Chiropractor end of this May, San Miguel area. Working on my Spanish, looking forward to caring for both Expats and locals!! I absolutely love picante sauce, hoping to start a little hot sauce club. Members meet out for tapas, each bringing new picante sauces for the group to try. Was a fun way to get to know people when I relocated to Prescott Valley, Arizona 4 years ago.

You're in luck, so do most Peruvians!

You are in for a treat not just for hot sauces (generically called ají , pronounced ah-HEE ) but for the Peruvian cuisine in general which in the opinion of many is the best in Latin America overall.

Do a search for
peru aji

...to get some useful links about what to expect. As an ardent lover of hot sauces myself, I envy you!

This is a good article about the 6 most important peppers in Peru:

Thanks, OsageArcher, I will add the article into my salsa picante file. Planning on trying all of the new fruits Peru has too offer for fruit-pepper pairings. I have a basic recipe with carrots and onions cooked down, adding fruits and peppers. Will get myself settled and speaking Spanish, then work on creating a little hot sauce club. Message your info if you are interested.

Hello All,
From UK, newly retired and intending to spend more time in Peru now.
Reseanably familiar with the country after many holidays since 1985 and am married to a Peruvian. But there is always plenty I havent seen or done or had time for - and I will probably never be bi-lingual (I know lots of words but my grammar is rubbish ).
Now that I've got time to watch it, the Dakar rally moves to another continent !!*!
