Alongside the travel push, popular Peruvian sweets are highlighted as essential to the celebrations. Classic desserts such as mazamorra morada, ranfañote, turrón de Doña Pepa, ponderaciones and huevo chimbo are described with their traditional ingredients and preparation methods, reflecting the culinary heritage that accompanies the national festivities.
