Mrs. Obama rules!

No, it doesn't make sense! Do you mean hobbies like which hobbies are like "nationally performed"? It depends on he region and the city. In Lima people have hobbies like any other major city in the world. Considering Lima is near the ocean, one of the best hobbies I saw was surfing.

Peru has a rainless Coast and then you go inland and in a couple of hours reach the andes mountains and crossover to a totaly different wheather.

So in our summer time, from November to April, our pastime is the beach! Since school ends in mid Dicember, traditionaly everything starts off on New Year's holiday: Camping, Discoteques, Seafood Restaurants, Bars and even a Shopping Mall 100 km south of Lima. Season ends with an Easter Holiday Camping at the beach. During the day there's a lot of surfing going on, other water sports or simply drinking beer while watching the scenary and during the night time beach parties and Discoteques. This is also a great time of the year to go Rafting on rivers that flow towards the pacific ocean because it's rainning season at the mountains.

From May to October it's the other way around. The coast gets humid and saddly grey, you never see the sun except in cities that are 10-30 min inland (Piura, Trujillo and Ica), so it's the best time of the year to plan a trip to the andes mountains because it's sunny and dry season over there. It's what you call the Indian summer. So our pastime in the winter time is to go inland, there's a lot of recreation clubs a 40 min. drive from Lima or you can make a longer trip to any of the main destinations that Peru can offer: Cajamarca, Huaraz, Huanuco, Tarma, Huancayo, Ayacucho, Abancay, Cuzco, Arequipa and Puno.

You can say that our real national pastime is to follow the sun!

Football and eating.

Football is the national passion of all of South America and of course of every Peruvian. The sports section on the papers and television is basically dedicated to this sport. There's a "canchita" (small field) in every school and in almost every park!

Eating is a big deal in Peru. The variety and exellent taste of the dishes is endless! Eating out or inviting friends to eat is one of the most common things to do on a weekend night.

Hi! Your question is interesting as Peru as many other countries in the world has fitted the global world in the last decades causing some traditions disappear or be forgotten, however, these have been replaced for foreign or updated ideas, behaviors, customs.

Nowadays, soccer and partying are 2 things that Peruvian love to do. Soccer is the national sport, it's played everywhere, there are millions of fans all over the country, and there's a Cusco team (Cienciano) well-known as it won 2 international soccer championships in South America.

Peruvian people like to have fun so they go out (not only in weekends), they go to discos, pubs, bars, pe챰as, ... they dance all kind of music (dance, pop, latin, salsa, huayno, cumbia), they drink a lot of beer, pisco sour, and stay at home on Sundays to recover from the blast.

Good Luck To You!
Bye Bye
