   http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/south_america/peru/culture.htm
   
   Extractions: Peru Art prior to Spanish colonization concentrated almost entirely upon the production of fine pottery, metalwork, stonecraft and textiles. The Spanish subsequently introduced their version of urban planning, with cities laid out in checkerboard fashion, and constructed mansions, churches and monasteries which slavishly mimicked Spanish renaissance or the rather phlegmatic Spanish early baroque. Over time, these European styles increasingly showed signs of a native Indian influence, leading to a style known as mestizo . (The best examples of mestizo architecture can be found in the churches around Puno and Arequipa.) Painting too mimicked European influences but as local artists grew more confident, a new and distinctive Cuzco style developed, in which artists turned their attention away from the visible world, and concentrated instead on fairytale and fable. The influence of these works on artist Paul Gauguin, who spent his childhood in Lima, is noticeable. Peruvian music is almost entirely folk music, while its literature encompasses everything from independence-inspired polemic to the anarchic individualism of its many poets and the boyhood reveries of the internationally renowned author Mario Vargas Llosa.

   An interesting overview of peru culture and the Peru People who have quietlyperserved the traditions of the Ancient Inca Civilizations.  
   http://www.peru-travel-adventures.com/people-culture.html
   
   Extractions: Peru People and Preserved Culture. Since pre-Columbian times Peruvians have been divided by nature. From the arid deserts of the coast, the Andean Sierra rises up to 19,700 feet. The highlands comprise about a quarter of Peru's territory, but are home to about half of Peru's population. This mountain mass poses major problems for development and integration into a single society. The result is dramatic regional diversity, and considerable inequalities in services and living standards. Health, education and law enforcement programs are unevenly distributed across Peru. At first sight, Peruvian culture may seem brutally divided between indigenous and colonial societies - the mountains and the city. Elite white creoles trace their bloodlines back to the Spanish Conquest in 1536. Like generations before them, most live in Lima, where a European visitor will feel a comfortable familiarity in the cafes and supermarkets. On the other side, rural communities now also aspire to ownership of televisions and blue jeans but this comes into conflict with their traditional cultural values. The people of the Andes are maintaining the traditional practices of their ancestors in a rapidly changing world. Their livelihood continues to be based on family-owned fields or charkas which are farmed by hand or with the assistance of draft animals.

Cobblestone streets preserve the era of the Conquistadors, the ruins of the lost city of Machu Pichu remind travelers of the once mighty Inca Empire, and the mysterious Nazca lines elude all explanation. On top of this the Peruvian Andes are arguably the most spectacular mountains on the continent and home to millions of highland Indians who still speak the ancient language of Quechua and maintain a traditional way of life. Then to the East and thousands of feet below, the lush Amazon Basin covers half of Peru and is one of the world’s top 10 biodiversity hotspots – these are areas of super high species diversity that are under threat of being extinguished.

    Extensive news, comments and context about peru, its history, culture, politics and society.  
    http://www.gci275.com/peru/
    
    Extractions: When I covered Peru as a journalist, I had to report on a lot of bad news flawed democracy, political violence, economic mismanagement, and other catastrophes. But I also prided myself in finding a positive angle for viewing what was happening in Peru: soup kitchens education popular expression , grassroots democracy, bootstrap capitalism , as well as the unique realms of the Andes, Amazon and Pacific Oceans and the contrasts between Lima and the provinces. My goals for this web site are something similar: amid all the reporting about flawed democracy, corruption... I want to make Peru more understandable by providing some background and context and also a perspective to see the virtues of the Peruvians and Peru that span centuries and are rooted in the soil. In order to comprehend Peruvian politics , you need to know the landscape. The 2001 elections were shaped by what has happened in Peru over the past three decades, including guerrillas and what remains of the political parties. It means grasping the catastrophe of the 1985-90 government of President Alan Garcia, the ensuing political tsunami of Alberto Fujimori and the countershocks of Alejandro Toledo's Peru Posible movement.
