Does anyone have any info on Peru?

Question

I am making a bon voyage card for a friend who is going travelling in Peru. I would like to add any quips e.g. how to ask for 2 beers, some interesting facts about some of the sights etc. True facts would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

erm..... 2 beers is dos cervezas por favor. The national tipple is a kind of home brew made from maize called chicha. Slang for a girl is chibola and the Peruvians are very good looking. Something like 80% of the worlds coca (raw material of cocaine) is grown in Peru. Peru was the centre of the Inca empire and the ancient Inca capitol was Cuzco. Quechua (the language of the Incas) is Peru's second official language and is still spoken by about 15 million people (not all of them in Peru). The Amazon river begins life in Peru where it is called the Rio Apurimac. The Peruvian department of Madre de Dios is considered to be one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet. Peruvians hate Chile which they fought an (unsuccessful) war with and lost a lot of territory! They also hate Ecuadorians and are involved in a border dispute with them. I love you is te amo. Espero que te gusta tu viaje al Peru is I hope you like your journey to Peru. Mandame una choshna is send me a kingkajou ( a very cute animal) .I hope that helps!!!! Pugs.

Answer 2

I think BUDGET rent a-car has the best prices. But I also know someone who rents 4WD to mining companies, I'll try to get his phone or E-mail for you. I strongly recommend driving to Huaraz and lodging at the town of CARAZ. It's very beautiful and there's a lot of outdoor tourism there, like camping in he mountains. You have 2 Parallel mountain ridges one higher and with snow peaks (around 15,000 feet above sea level), and a smaller one around 12,000 ft. You can drive on either. In the "white" mountain ridge, you can drive to the Llanganuco Lagoon and even drive further up to a point where you can go down to the other side. I didn't drive down to the other side because with the high altitude you feel strange enough but the scenery from up there is unforgettable! The next day you can drive to the top of the "black" mountain ridge and observe the 100 year old PUYA RAIMONDI plant. It flourishes once in a life time near the 100 years and dies. also from up there you can take a beautiful picture of the "White" mountain ridge. The next day you can drive to the CHAVIN de HUANTAR ruins, it's a must go! From Lima, if you got an SUV, you can go to MARKAWASI, it's only 80 km away but since it's at 12,000 feet above sea level, it takes like 3 1/2 hours to get up there, then you reach the town of SAN PEDRO de CASTA (10,800 ft above sea level) named After an hallucinogen cactus "San Pedro" (Saint Peter) the spaniards nicknamed the cactus after "he who holds the keys to enter paradise". There's a hotel in San Pedro and I recomend to stay the night there for it's freezing cold at night on top of the meseta, the next morning you can rent horses for US $ 6 and make a confortable climb. But if you want to, you can camp up there and behold the most impresive night sky (when there's no moon), if there's a full moon you can observe the figures sculpted on the rock. Best time to come is June- August.
