We are delighted to invite you to a one-off talk on Chile and Easter Island in London on Thursday 13 October.

Nicola Gude, a former Journey Latin America tour leader, reviews one of Lima’s most exclusive yet affordable restaurants.

Located in fashionable Miraflores, Astrid y Gaston is such an amazing culinary experience from start to finish. The quality of the food is outstanding and I certainly would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone.
