Successful was the participation of Peru in the World Travel Awards South America, one of the most prestigious events of the travel and tourism industry and that last night delivered four important awards to our country, demonstrating once again the high quality of Peru In this sector.
Cusco is the archeological capital of South America, located in Peru, today it has around 300,000 inhabitants and is 3,326 meters above sea level.

The Catador, which is the name of this vineyard, has passed through the hands of 5 different generations. Over the years they have had to work to balance the tension between keeping tradition alive and incorporating new technology to produce enough wine. This whole process is completely handmade and is part of the Inca tradition. Different types of grapes grow here, including Quebranta, Criolla Negra, Mollar, Uvina, Torontel, Moscatel and Italy, which are the most popular.
According to the Japanese article, Machu Picchu stands out as an attraction that cannot be missing among the priorities of Japanese travelers when visiting South America; while Vinicunca is an ideal destination for nature and trekking lovers.
I know that knowing Machu Picchu is the dream of many, and even more so to get there as the Incas went there, walking the Inca Trail. The Incas over the years built an elaborate and extensive system of trails, known as the Qhapac Ñan, that connected all of Tahuantinsuyo
Many times, the impressive magnetism of Machu Picchu can make us forget everything mundane, but what we cannot forget is to protect this wonder, Cultural Heritage of Humanity. And the first step for this is to reduce as much as possible the garbage that accumulates daily in the Inca citadel.
After our visit to Chachapoyas knowing its ancient culture, our trip through Peru continued with pre-Inca archeology and civilizations.

We introduce you to the Moches or Mochicas, one of the most important civilizations in northern Peru for their art –impressive ceramics–, longevity and extension.
Peruvian cuisine is a symbol of pride for each of its inhabitants. It is one of the most extensive and exquisite in the world without a doubt. Every day, representatives of our kitchen create new techniques and variations of dishes that definitely delight the palate of their lucky guests. A country blessed with a privileged kitchen, which costs a lot to decide which one is better than another. However, there are 20 typical dishes of Peru that you should not stop eating:
The Hacienda San José was built at the end of the 17th century, it used to be one of the main haciendas along the Peruvian coast, not because of the important production of sugar cane but also because of the number of slaves who worked there and who converted it in one of the most prosperous lands of the time. These days it is used as a tourist hotel, where many stories and vestiges show how Afro-Peruvian immigrants used to live in this part of Peru. However, in all honesty it is not what is in the farm or what is around it that makes it so interesting, it is what is underneath that makes it simply amazing!
