ABOUT PERU

Peru is a country in western South America that borders Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, and the Pacific Ocean. Peru is most famous for being the home of the Inca Empire from the 15th century. Peru is also home to many different ethnic groups today and is known as a major historical and cultural site. It was not until July 28, 1819 until Peru became a nation of its own. The capital and largest city in Peru is Lima and the official language is Spanish. They have a population of almost 30 million which is the 41st biggest in the world. Language Spanish, Peru's official language, is spoken in cities and towns across Peru. In the mountains, however, Quechua and Aymara are spoken by large numbers and in the jungle many different tribal languages and dialects exist.

Climate / Seasons

Peru has three different climatic zones: the desert coast, Andes mountains and Amazon rainforest. Peru is one of the most ecologically diverse countries with over 66% of Peru as forest or woodland. Of that, only 3% is arable and nearly 21% permanent pasture. All three regions have their own seasons and are vastly different. Peruvian weather patterns are not always predictable, due to the shifting El Nino ocean currents, but certain generalizations can be made.

The desert (La Costa): With 2414km, the coastline of Peru has 2 seasons: winter, from April until November and summer, between December and March. The summers are hot and dry; the winters can be cloudy and cool. Lima, on the coast, has its own climate: hot and humid during the summer and grey and humid during the winter when the fog (garua) comes in.

The mountains (La Sierra): With the Cordillera Blanca reaching 6768m above sea level, Peru is the eleventh-highest country in the world. There are two main seasons in the Andes. The dry season is from May through October and the rainy is between November and April. The dry season is characterized by clear, sunny days and cold nights (when the temperature can drop below freezing). In the rainy season it generally rains each afternoon, the mornings can be clear. The heaviest rainfalls come in the months of January and February. The temperature is mild, but chilly at night. Landslides can block roads during this period. Caution should be taken if traveling during rainy season.

Peruvian Food

Peru is famous throughout South America for its food. As a major fishing nation, fish is abundant, and prepared with imagination.

The primary ingredients found in nearly every Peruvian dish are rice, potatoes, chichen, pork, lamb, and fish. Most of these meals include one of the different kinds of aji, or Peruvian hot pepper, which mainly are: yellow aji pepper, red aji pepper, red rocoto pepper.

Chicken, pork and lamb were introduced to Peru 500 years ago, when Spaniards came to America. Other ingredients, like potatoes, were already being grow in the Peruvian Andes and were taken by the Spaniards back to Europe.

Today more than 200 varieties of potato can be found in the Lake Titicaca area. They range in color from purple to blue, from yellow to brown. Sizes and textures vary as well. Some are smalls as nuts; others can be as large as oranges.

The Peruvians make it their own way, though, in the old-style, wood-burning ovens that have been part of the Peruvian landscape long before pizza was ever heard of here.
