Chaxras

A countryside table on the edge of the Pachacamac sanctuary.

  • District: Pachacamac
  • Cuisine: Eco-restaurant / farm-to-table

An eco-restaurant in Pachacamac, on the southern edge of Lima, close to the pre-Inca sanctuary. Built with rustic, natural materials -- mud walls, bamboo, open-air pergolas -- around its own organic garden of crops, herbs and vegetables, Chaxras rescues rustic Peruvian countryside dishes alongside grilled meats and ceviche. A natural pairing for a Pachacamac tour: lunch in a countryside, garden-forward setting after a morning among the ruins, well outside the usual Miraflores/Barranco restaurant circuit.

Why we chose it

  • Built around its own organic garden -- mud walls, bamboo and crops guests can see growing, not just a rural-themed dining room.
  • One of the few sit-down lunch options that pairs naturally with a Pachacamac ruins visit, saving a trip back into the city to eat.
  • Rescues rustic, less-common Peruvian dishes (like laing) rather than the standard Lima restaurant menu.

Highlights

  • Eco-restaurant setting, close to the Pachacamac sanctuary
  • A natural lunch stop after visiting the ruins

Ideal for

  • pairing with the Pachacamac tour
  • guests wanting a countryside meal outside the city

Best combined with a Pachacamac ruins tour for lunch immediately after, since it's well outside the Miraflores/Barranco restaurant area and not a practical stand-alone trip.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Chaxras different from a typical Lima restaurant?

It's built around its own organic garden with mud-wall and bamboo construction, serving rustic countryside Peruvian dishes rather than the usual Lima restaurant menu -- more farmhouse than fine dining.

Can I visit Chaxras without a tour?

Yes, but it's far from the Miraflores/Barranco hotel area, so it makes far more sense paired with a Pachacamac ruins visit than as a stand-alone trip.

Do I need a reservation at Chaxras?

It's recommended, especially on weekends -- reservations can be made online or via WhatsApp through their official site.
