Peru returns to Madrid Fusion 2026 as a leading exponent of Latin American cuisine worldwide. This time, it will be accompanied by Promperú and will occupy one of the largest spaces at Spain’s most important gastronomic fair. The stand is inspired by popular traditions in Lima. It will not only showcase the country, but also invite visitors to discover the famous peruvian food.

At Madrid Fusión, Peru wants to feel close and friendly. Thus, cuisine will be the bridge between the territory, culture, and identity. At the same time, renowned Peruvian chefs will participate. In this way, the public will see how food tells stories.

A Sensory Journey through Peruvian Cuisine

There will be coffee and dessert tastings. There will also be high-end lunches prepared by Peruvian chefs living in Spain. In addition, there will be a dialogue of flavors involving young talents and experienced chefs. On the other hand, there will be Pisco Sour demonstrations led by Johnny Schuler. Thus, the country’s flagship drink will have a special place.

Peru will showcase its coastline, the Andes, and the Amazon. Together, they form a map of biodiversity and an ancient and unique larder. What’s more, this legacy blends indigenous traditions with European, African, and Asian flavors. That’s why styles such as Chifa and Nikkei exist. Today, these names are already common in many Spanish kitchens. Chefs present at the fair, such as Paula Gutiérrez from Tayta and Omar Malpartida from Maymanta, also contribute to this.

Unquestionable Gastronomic Leadership: Madrid Fusion will have the Best Culinary Destination in the World

This culinary heritage has helped Peru become one of the most influential gastronomic destinations on the planet. In fact, the country arrives at Madrid Fusion after winning the award for Best Culinary Destination in the World at the 2025 World Travel Awards for the thirteenth consecutive year. It also received the award for Best Culinary Destination in Latin America 2025. And Lima was chosen as the Best Culinary City in Latin America 2025 at the World Culinary Awards.

With this backing, Peru arrives at Madrid Fusión 2026 to confirm its leadership. At the same time, it sends a clear message to those who travel for food. Peru is not only tasted on a plate. It is also explored, understood, and experienced.
