Mrs. Obama rules!

I was born here, I live here and I will probably die here. It's a great country, with a very rich cultural history and with the greatest food and dishes I've ever tasted. Am I biased? Of course, I'm peruvian and proud to be a peruvian. I've travelled a lot (Asia, Europe, Africa and America) and I love to visit other places but I always return here because it's home to me. We do have our share of problems (economic, political, etc) but peruvians never give up, we are optimist fighters. We have 3 beautiful regions with lots of flora and fauna and in a few hours we could have one of the 7 new wonders of the world: Machu Picchu.
About the weather: it's pretty aweful right now, it's winter and the temp drops to 13 degrees celsius but with nearly 100% humidity. Bring a nice heavy jacket. You can buy a scarf and gloves here, there are wonderful made from alpaca.
Cultural differences? Not so much in Lima, you'll find a very "americanized" city. As for the highlands, yes, it's very different as it is quite poor, and rural but the landscape is breathtaking and people are very respecful of tourists. |
