Practical Information About Culture of Peru Along its history, Peru has received the influence of other cultures which made it richer and diversed. From its origins, art was dedicated to all objects made by hand like textiles, ceramic and metalwork. Then, cultures like Chavín, Wari or the Inkas introduced the stonework and the military-urban planning. With the arrival of Spanish conquerors, urban design refined and included big mansions and religious buildings with the use of high towers, curved and decorated ceilings, balconies and baroque porch and arcades. The creation of the Escuela Cusqueña and others in Arequipa, Lima and Quito was the claim of the locals to be independent from the spanish art style. Here was born the mestizo style, which results can be seen in the colonial paintings. Art was also strongly influenced by the catholic religion which mixed later with local traditions.

Although community rights were acknowledged, if not respected, in the Andes, outsiders have virtually never accepted this fact in the case of the Amazonian peoples. Nevertheless, apparently many tribal societies, such as the Shipibo, have held their traditional hunting, fishing, and swidden lands in continuous usufruct for as long as 2,000 years. As a result of the land reforms under the Velasco government, however, laws established the land rights of Amazonian native communities. Consequently, some groups, such as the Cocama-Cocamilla, have been able to secure their agroecological base.

66. Peru - Moche Culture Vantage Adventures peru Information. peru THE MOCHE culture The Moche culture, a culture that has left impressive archaeological sites and some http://www.travelvantage.com/per_moch.html

PERU: THE MOCHE CULTURE The fascinating Moche period begins with the decline of the Cupisnique period at about the time of Christ. The Moche didn't conquer the Cupisnique; rather, there was a slow transition characterized by a number of developments. Ceramics, textiles and metalwork improved greatly, architectural skills allowed the construction of huge pyramids and other structures and there was enough leisure tune for art and a highly organised religion. The Moche culture, a culture that has left impressive archaeological sites and some of the most outstanding pottery to be seen in Peru's museums, is named after the river which flows into the ocean just south of Trujillo. The word Mochica has been used interchangeably with Moche and refers to a dialect spoken in the Trujillo area at the time of the conquest, though not necessarily spoken by the Moche people. Moche is now the preferred usage. The most important people, especially the priests and warriors, were members of the urban classes and lived closest to the large ceremonial pyramids and other temples. They were surrounded by a middle class of artisans and then, in descending order: farmers and fishermen, servants, slaves and beggars. The priests and warriors were both honored and obeyed. They are the people most frequently shown in ceramics, which depict them being carried in litters wearing particularly fine jewelry or clothing. Their authority is evident from pots showing scenes of punishment, including the mutilation and death of those who dared to disobey.

68. Peru - History Vantage Adventures peru Information. Soon after we find the signs of a new culture in the highland city of Wari (Huari), about 25 km north of Ayacacho http://www.travelvantage.com/per_his.html

PERU: THE HISTORY We do not know for sure how far back we can trace the history of mankind in Peru as new findings are pushing back in the very far past the start of human inhabitation in these lands. Up until recently, we only thought that human civil life had started around 7000 years ago..... Chilca was inhabited about 4000 BC and the other two sites about 2000 BC. The inhabitants fished with nets or with bone hooks and collected seafood such as crabs and sea urchins. Various crops were cultivated, including cotton which appeared early (about 3000 BC) as well as chilli peppers, beans' squashes and, about 1400 BC, corn. The cotton was used to make clothing, mainly with the simple techniques of twining and later by weaving. Roughly contemporary with these coastal settlements was the enigmatic site of Kotosh near Huanuco - one of the earliest ruins in highland Peru. Little is known about the people who lived here, but their buildings were the most developed for that period, and pottery fragments found here predate by several hundred years those found in other parts of Peru. From around 1250 BC to 850 BC there are remains in the Viru Valley and Guanape area, about 50 km south of Trujillo on the north coast which show that, during this time, ceramics developed from rude undecorated pots to sculpted, incised and simply colored pots of high quality. Weaving, fishing and horticulture also unproved and simple funerary offerings have been found. After these early time we start having a better knowledge of the early inhabitants of Peru.

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. As I got a chance to travel more broadly in the country, I discovered that its real worth was in its people and their continuing struggle to forge ahead. 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 background, context and a perspective on current events and also to underscore the virtues of Peruvians and Peru that span centuries and are rooted in the soil. Politics 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.

Lima - Culture 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.

Machupicchu - Culture T he Machupicchu archaeological complex is located in the department of Cusco, in the Urubamba province and district of Machupicchu. It is perched on the eastern slopes of the Vilcanota mountain range, a chain of mountains curtailed by the Apurimac and Urubamba Rivers. Built on a mountaintop and invisible from the valley floor below, the city is thought to have been inhabited for as long as 200 years after the arrival of the Spanish, who, though they knew of its existence, never discovered its whereabouts. One of the key questions that remain unanswered about the city is the mystery of how it was built: All of the stone used in its construction comes from several miles away, and the Inca had neither the wheel nor draught animals with which to pull them thousands of feet up the steep mountain sides. The mystery has led to much speculation about extraterrestrial construction crews, and reported spaceship sightings are frequent. In Incan times only the priests and the Inca could use those temples; thus, they remained closed and protected. Common people had popular ceremonies in open areas or plazas like the one in Machupicchu or Qosqo. Machupicchu was discovered in 1911 by the American explorer Hiram Bingham; but the city is not mentioned in the writings of the Spanish conquerors of Peru, and the time of its occupancy is uncertain. Bingham believed that Machupicchu might have been the last refuge of the Incas from Cuzco fleeing the Spanish invaders.

Peruvian Culture, Arts and Traditions in Peru Site Map About Us Useful Information ... Home Peruvian Culture, Arts and Traditions in Peru Folk art in Peru Peru boasts one of the largest varieties of arts and crafts on Earth. The diversity, color, creativity and multiple functions of Peru's folk art has made it a fundamental activity not just for Peru's cultural identity, but also as a way of life for thousands of families and even entire communities. Festivals and rituals in Peru Peru celebrates some 3,000 festivals a year. Most of them are held in homage to a patron saint and are part of the Christian calendar adopted in colonial times, although they have blended with the magical beliefs of ancient forms of worship. Traditional dress in Peru In Peru's rural areas, the way people dress makes an important distinction, as a result of the blend of pre-Hispanic influences with the European clothing that the natives were forced to wear during the colonial era. Thanks to the recent archaeological discoveries of musical instruments, experts now know that in Peru, music has been played at least as far back as 10,000 years ago. Gastronomy Peru boasts one of the finest cuisines in Latin America. Recipes such as cebiche, pachamanca are just a few of the mouth-watering dishes served up in Peru. The quality and variety of dishes in Peru are due to several reasons.

I've worked as staff in the Office of Information Technology Services (OITS) for the past five years in the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (GS/OAS). The OAS has been squeezed by a fixed budget and is now undergoing service and staff cutbacks. I could see the writing on the wall downsizing was coming. Since March, I've been trying to find another area in the GS/OAS to take me on. At a time of institutional crisis, it's hard to get managers to pull the trigger on bringing in new personnel they're concerned about protecting the staff and budget that they already have. This past week, I started work in the Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (CICAD), a policy area within the GS/OAS. I will be the resident writer-editor working directly with the executive secretary and also supporting the communications director. At one suspenseful moment this past month, I gave up hope and began sending out resumes to other places. But the exercise made me realized that my best fit was CICAD my first-hand experience in Latin America, my combined skills of researcher, writer and editor in English and Spanish, my penchant for web technology, all meld together to contribute to making CICAD more efficient and productive. CICAD could also maximize my own potential if the management knows how to get the most out of me. In OITS, I've been glaringly underutilized for the past year, especially after my mentor retired.
