Peru Time and Date Peru Culture Back to Top The Native American heritage of Peru is one of the richest in South America. Although Spain gave Peru its language, religion, and rulers, the civilization of the Inca has left its traces throughout Peruvian culture. Archaeological excavations have uncovered monumental remains of Native American societies. Architecture of the Spanish colonial period, a fusion of Spanish and Native American forms, is called Creole. In art today, the indigenist school pointedly interprets 20th-century Peru in a Native American mode. See also Latin American Architecture; Latin American Literature; Latin American Music; Latin American Painting; Latin American Sculpture. The complex ethnic and cultural mixture of Peru presents an entwining of aboriginal pantheism, Spanish mysticism, and African religious practices manifested in the nation's music, literature, textiles, handicrafts, gold and silver work, and bounteous cuisine. The descendants of the Quechua and Aymará peoples populate the Andean highlands. Many do not speak Spanish and have preserved the customs and folklore of their ancestors. Along the coast and in the highland cities, the whites, mestizos, and blacks live in a modern Western style. In contrast to these settlements are the jungles of eastern Peru, where more isolated groups of Native Americans retain lifestyles similar to those of their ancestors.

Return he did, marching into Cajamarca, in northern Peru, before capturing, ransoming and executing the Inca emperor Atahualpa in 1533. Pizarro subsequently founded the city of Lima in 1535 but was assassinated six years later. The rebellion of the last Inca leader, Manco Inca, ended ingloriously with his beheading in 1572.

    Writer Carolina Carlessi discusses growing up in peru's culture of folk medicine and faith healing and how it affected her perception of modern medicine.

    Extractions: by Carolina Carlessi When Carolina Carlessi moved from Peru to Spokane, Washington, she left behind a culture that trusts intuition, superstition and personal healing. She is adjusting to Western culture's reliance on reason and science. But she knows deep inside that modern science owes much to the world's mystical women. I don't call it magic, folk medicine, cosmic energy or superstition. I just live with it It has been with the women of my family for generations, and I have been blessed with its influence since the moment I was born. My life started in Lima, Peru. My father was on a business trip and my young mother was alone in an apartment, about to give birth. Frightened, she shouted loud shouts, hoping they'd pierce the walls and get to somebody's ears. She heard knocking at the door, but couldn't move. After some minutes, a woman, "as big and square as an armoire," broke open the door with her shoulder and flew into the apartment. Mamita Carolina was a healer, a medicine woman who had arrived from her village 300 miles away. The night before, while listening to the waves, she had heard her niece's cries and had boarded the next bus to Lima, not even knowing my mother was pregnant.

Though she perfected English at an early age, her thick accent gives away her Latin American roots. Neither her father nor her mother, a Peruvian seamstress, was educated beyond elementary school. She debated social policy in the lunchroom of her Catholic school and won a scholarship to the College of St. Benedict in Minnesota, where she majored in sociology and aspired to be an economist. "She married a Minnesotan, Peter Plattes, and scrapped her dream of attending graduate school in Europe, staying in St. Cloud with him for a few years and teaching middle school. The couple taught children in a Peruvian mining camp in the early 70's, then moved to Boston, which Ms. Lam said she chose because its Roman Catholic cardinal had sent money to the school she attended in Lima." This is a big-time job deputy chancellor for teaching and learning at the NYC Public School System.

    http://www.americatravelling.net/peru/lima/lima_culture.htm
    
    Extractions: Lima is the industrial, commercial, and political center of the country. It now houses more than 6,500,000 people and has several museums that are very worth-while visiting, such as the Archaeological Museum, the Gold Museum, Larco Herrera Museum, etc. Lately it has grown in a rather disorderly fashion to inadequate development policies. Yet for a society with significant problems, today's Limeons still enjoy a relaxed way of life, as they have done for centuries. This becomes more evident during the summer (December to March), when you see them surfing or sunbathing on soft sandy beaches, in a ritual that seems to remind us of their bond with their ancestor's god: the Sun. Lima is the capital of Peru and of its most populous department. The city lies at the heart of the largest conurbation on the western side of South America: nearly 26 percent of Peru's population resides in Lima. Lima is in fact, a huge oasis in the very arid Peruvian coastal area (with less than 2 inches of average annual rainfall, hedged between the Pacific coast and the foot of the Andes. The site, on the southern banks of the Rio Rimac, 13 kilometers from the coast, was chosen in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro because of the adequate supply of water from the river, the irrigated agriculture in the area, a headland, and an adjoining elongated island along the nearby coast, which provided good anchorage and protection for ships. Callao, which was built on this headland, is Lima's harbor. The site is also advantageous for access inland.

    Extractions: Nazca - Culture N azca is located approximately 450km south of Lima on the Pan American Highway, it takes roughly 4 to 5 hours drive from Lima. Its nearly 600m above sea level and has a population of about 30,000 people, supplemented by many tourists who are interested in the Nazca culture and the famous lines. The Nazca Desert is a high plateau about sixty miles long and five miles wide on the coast of Peru, some 250 miles south of Lima. Famous Nazca Lines - There are a curious combination of triangles, quadrangles and trapezoids, spirals, flowers, straight lines that stretch for more than 5 miles, and giant creatures such as birds, reptiles, whales, a monkey and a spider. Some of the figures on the desert floor resemble the markings found on Nazca pottery, and because of this it has been said that an ancient coastal people, the Nazcas, whose culture flourished and declined between 100 B.C. and A.D. 700, were responsible. Making these images on the plain must have been simple enough, but very time consuming. All that was required was to move a few million rocks to expose the lighter ground beneath them, pile the rocks in lines and so you have the designs. In this part of Peru there is very little rain, so the images last for thousands of years. FIGURES - Humming Bird , has been found to be very similar that found on ceramic pots made near the end of the third century A.D.

    Extractions: People When I arrived home from Peru, I told a friend of mine that I wanted to live there. She said to me "Wouldn't you miss the friendly people here?" I couldn't help but laugh (Apparently I've been laughing a lot since I got back). Alright, people here are friendly and nice, but Peru (and I think South America in general) is in a different league. Everyone you meet treats you like a close friend. If I walk into a room in Canada, I will say hi or shake hands with some people. In Peru, I kiss every girl and shake hands with every guy, or hug them if we are close. A humorous example of the friendliness of Peruvian people is my cousin's grandma who had a guy come to the door saying he was sent by her daughter to pick up her stereo to fix it. The guy was actually stealing her stereo and not only did she give it to him but she invited him in for a coffee. Food Peru has the most delicious food in the world. Everyone asks what I liked the best, but it is impossible to choose. I could talk about Peruvian food all day; Anticuchos which are beef heart kabobs, Ceviche which is raw seafood marinated in lemon juice. There are choros, mussels served with onions and peppers, and Papa la Huancaina, potatoes with a cheese and chili pepper sauce, and humitas, dough made with ground corn filled with chicken and wrapped in a banana leaf. This is just a small sample of some of my favorites dishes to wet your appetite.

HOME Machu Picchu Nazca and Paracas Lake Titicaca Peru in South America is a fascinating country. Geographically, Peru encompasses an arid coastal desert, the rugged snow-capped peaks of the Andes, and steamy rainforests that form part of the vast Amazon basin. Historically, the region has seen the development of cultures such as those of the Nazca and Inca whose legacies remain to mystify travelers and archaeologists to this day. The Inca culture was the last to arise in Peru before the arrival of adventurers from overseas... The Inca empire In the fifteenth century, the Inca state expanded through conquest of other cultures to become the most powerful empire in the New World. At its peak the Inca empire stretched for 5500 kilometers from what is now southern Columbia down through Peru to central Chile. But from the time of its expansion the remarkable empire lasted only around one century before the Spanish conquest led to its violent destruction. The Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in Peru was built in a dramatic landscape. There are photos of this remarkable Inca site on my

The area of Peru, including several offshore islands, is 1,285,216 sq km (496,225 sq mi), making it the third-largest South American country (only Brazil and Argentina are larger).

They brought their European culture and transmitted their racial characteristics, Spanish language, and Roman Catholic religion to their descendants. The Spaniards introduced a few African slaves, but their number did not become significant. Following independence and the prohibition of slavery, Chinese immigrants were imported as farm labourers, and new groups of Spaniards, northern Europeans, and Japanese were among other arrivals. These diverse racial and ethnic groups have tended to intermarry and produce a mix of racial types, which in modern Peru constitute a complex racial mosaic.
