Peru is a land of mythical gold, ancient Incas and their culture and indigenous customs. Today we will tell you about this State in detail.
The Republic of Peru is located in South America. It borders Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Chile and Bolivia. Peru has access to the Pacific Ocean. It is home to just over 32 million people, of which 45% are Quechua and Aymara Indians, 37% are mestizos, 15% are Europeans and 3% are other nationalities. Thanks to the large number of nationalities Peru has preserved its ancestral traditions and customs.
Peruvians honor the traditions they inherited from the ancient Incas. The Andean regions still have festivals that can foretell the future. The locals celebrate Solstice Day and also hold a national mariner dance competition, which is performed in national costumes and with scissors in the hands. But many Peruvians are Catholic, so here you can also get on Christmas Day, All Saints Day and Good Friday.
The cuisine in Peru is as interesting and rich in history as the customs of the locals. In the coastal area you can taste fresh seafood. Restaurants in the Andean area will feed you with dishes cooked in traditional ovens. Here you can also taste Chicha corn beer. In the Amazon region, you can enjoy delicious freshwater fish, local fruit juices and desserts, and meals of meat and beans.
Many people know about the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu, which was mentioned at the beginning of the 16th century. You can also walk through the city of Cusco, which is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Visiting it, you will see many beautiful temples and the legendary Lake Titicaca. Lovers of small resort towns are advised to go to the oasis of Huacachina, where you can enjoy the beauty of the desert and try sandboarding.
If you want to see beautiful mountain views and llamas, try a variety of cuisine and explore a culture that is immensely different from ours, then Peru and its very friendly inhabitants will welcome you with great pleasure!
