CONOCE MI PERÚ Cuando la empresa Protur Perú aposto por la publicación “conoce mi Perú” fue pensando en el propio compatriota peruano a conocer su país y luego invitar al Australiano, al europeo al asiático al africano y al norteamericano. El Perú alberga en su seno una diversidad natural y una riqueza histórica y cultural únicas en el mundo. Todo ese grupo de atractivos, ha sido aprovechado al máximo, para potenciar la llamada industria sin humo, convirtiendo al Perú en destino de miles de turistas extranjeros y nacionales. El Perú ha sido bendecido con un rico pasado y un vibrante presente, siendo uno de los destinos de viaje más populares de América del Sur. Si Ud. Empieza a hacer un viaje por este país va a encontrar miles de zonas arqueológicas que van desde tierras de los primeros cazadores de hace 10 000 años hasta las inmensas murallas de piedra del Cusco de los incas del siglo XVI. Aunque los incas, son sin lugar a dudas la cultura más conocida del Perú. Sin embargo, son las culturas precedentes las llamadas Pre-Incas, como Chavín, Paracas, Nazca, Moche y Wari. Las que sentaron las bases para el desarrollo del imperio incaico. Las cerámicas de las culturas Nazca y Moche, son quizás la herencia artística más conocida del Perú, y, es que estos ceramistas hicieron una serie de magníficos trabajos en arcilla, embellecido con difíciles diseños y una variedad rica de colores, algunos dibujando seres míticos y otros con diseños de la vida diaria. En el campo de la textilería, los tejedores peruanos desarrollaron una serie de técnicas, que van desde hilados de fino algodón hasta tapices tejidos de alpaca. En el campo de la metalurgia, lo antiguos, llegaron a dominar una tecnología singular y se evidencia en los descubrimientos de las ofrendas funerarias de las tumbas Moche de Sipán en el departamento de Lambayeque, al norte del Perú, las riquezas que se hallaron de oro, plata y cobre dan testimonio de que hubo un dominio tecnológico y sofisticado en sus trabajos. Cuando nos ubicamos alrededor del siglo XV después de Cristo aparece en la escena la cultura inca, tiene como su centro el valle de Cuzco para construir y extender su imperio. Cuando llegaron a su máxima expansión, alrededor de 1500 d.c., el imperio alcanzó el territorio de 6 países, actuales, conectado por un largo sistema de caminos de 23000 km. La corta vida del imperio incaico llego a su fin con la llegada de los españoles en 1532 E.C. es triste aceptar que gran parte de la antigua tecnología y de la estructura social que hicieron posible este gran imperio, han ido despareciendo a través de los siglos. Sin embrago, otros, como la tradición de tejidos se han hecho fuerte. La empresa Protur Perú inversiones turísticas, hoy empieza un nuevo reto como equipo deseamos que esta publicación llegue a las manos de todas las personas que quieren conocer el Perú con todas sus riquezas sabemos que iniciar algo no es fácil, pero a medida que pasa el tiempo tendremos que hacer algunos ajustes, luego vendrán los tiempos de madurez y expansión.

MEET MY PERÚ!! When Protur Perú had decided to publish “MEET MY PERU” Magazine, we were thinking about our people and invite them to know Perú and then invite to people from all over the world Australian ,African ,American ,Asian , and European. Perú has been sheltering such as wonderful natural diversity and amazing history and cultures that are unique in the world. All that attractive groups had been fully exploited to enhance the so called smokeless industry turning to Perú a fantastic destination for thousands of foreign and national tourists. Perú has been blessed with a brilliant past and a vibrant present being it one of the most fascinating and popular travel destinations in South America. If you are thinking about to take a trip to this country you will find thousands of archaeological places; lands of the earliest hunters since 10, 000 years ago to the enormous stone walls of the Incas from Cusco in the XVI century. Although, Incas are undoubtedly the most known culture of Perú However, those previous cultures which are called Pre-Incas like Chavin, Paracas, Nazca, Moche and Wari laid the basis for development of the Inca empire. Nazca and Moche Culture’s ceramics are perhaps the artistic heritage most known of Perú, and these potters had made many of fine works in clay embellished with difficult designs and a beautiful variety of color. Someone drawing mythical creatures and other designs of everyday life but in the area of the textile, Peruvian weavers developed a series of technical skills which are fine cotton yarns and tapestries woven alpaca then in the area of the metallurgy , the ancient inhabitants became to handle a unique technology and it is evident on findings about some funerary offerings in Moche de Sipa’s tombs in Lambayeque in northern Perú and finally the wealth of gold, silver, copper that were found and now testify there were technological mastery and sophisticated people at their work. When we take back to the fifteenth century after Christ, appears on the scene the Inca culture but it has as its capital Cusco Valley to build and to expand out their empire. Once they had expanded out good enough their kingdom at about 1500’s A.C. The Inca Empire had extended their territory to get like six countries’ lands and all of these were connected by a long road system about to 23000 kilometers. The short life of the Inca Empire ended when Spanish settlers arrived at their territories to conquer them in 1532. And finally, it is sad to say that much of the old technology and the social structure that made possible this great empire have been disappearing over the centuries. However, others like the tradition of tissues have been strong.

GASTRONOMÍA DEL PERÚ
CUISINE OF PERU
PRINCIPALES CARACTERÍSTICAS
La Gastronomía del Perú es de las más diversas del mundo, como lo demuestra el hecho que, es uno de los países con mayor número de platos típicos (491), y según varios entendidos alcanza un nivel equivalente al de la comida francesa, china e hindú. En la comida peruana se encuentran al menos 5.000 años de historia preinca, inca, colonial y republicana. Se consideran casi tres siglos de aporte culinario español, (influenciado inicialmente por 762 años de presencia musulmana en la Península Ibérica), las costumbres gastronómicas traídas por esclavos situados entonces en la citada península, aquellos provenientes de la costa atlántica africana y también la fuerte influencia de los usos y costumbres culinarios de los chefs franceses que huyeron de la revolución en su país para radicarse, en buen número en Lima la capital del Perú. • Igualmente trascendental es la influencia de los chinos-cantoneses, japoneses, italianos desde el siglo XIX y otros europeos (emigrados al Perú entre los siglos XIX y XX). • Las artes culinarias peruanas están en constante evolución y esto, sumado a la variedad de platos tradicionales, hace imposible establecer una lista completa de sus platos representativos. Cabe mencionar que a lo largo de la costa peruana existen más de dos mil quinientos diferentes tipos de sopas, asimismo existen más de 250 postres tradicionales. La gran variedad de la gastronomía peruana se sustenta en tres fuentes: 1. La particularidad de la geografía del Perú. 2. La mezcla de razas y de culturas 3. La adaptación de culturas milenarias a la cocina moderna.
The cuisine of Perú is among the most diverse in the world, as it is evidenced in its many typical plates; actually there are around 491 plates and according to several experts, Peruvian food reaches at an equivalent level to the French, Chinese, and Hindu food. There are more than 5,000 years of history in there and in many periods like Pre-Inca, Inca, colonial, and republican where had been developing to the present that is recognized as one of the most delicious food in the world. It almost has three generations of spanish culinary contribution (initially influenced by 762 years of Muslim presence in the Iberian Peninsula) then The gastronomic customs brought by African slaves from The Atlantic Coast who settled in that peninsula and the strong influence of the culinary habits and customs of French Chefs who ran away from the revolution in their country to settle in Perú specifically in Lima. At the same time, Peru has received chinese, japanese, and italian cuisine influences since the nineteenth century and other European who emigrated to Perú since the nineteenth and twentieth century. Peruvian cuisine is constantly evolving and also summed up to the variety of typical plates, make it impossible to establish a complete list of representative dishes but it is noteworthy that along the peruvian coast there are over 2500 different kinds of Soups and there are also more than 250 traditional desserts. The wide variety of the Peruvian Cuisine is based on three sources:
La cocina ha sido el punto de encuentro de diversas culturas; gracias a la inclinación por el mestizaje que ha caracterizado la historia del Perú. La cocina clásica peruana suele ser atractiva por su colorido y a veces por su matiz picante por el ají, siendo éste un ingrediente principal. Sin embargo, algunos ajíes no son picantes y solo sirven para darle color a la presentación de los platos típicos o para darles mayor gusto. El arroz es un alimento que acompaña muchos platos de la gastronomía de este país popularizado principalmente a partir del siglo XIX con la influencia Chinocantonesa.
1. 2. 3.
The particularity of the geography of Perú. The mixture of races and cultures. The adaptation of the ancient cultures to the modern cuisine.
. . . . . . . . MAIN CHARACTERISTICS The kitchen has been the meeting point of many cultures, through their preference for the mixture that characterized the Peruvian traditions. The classic Peruvian cuisine is often attractive for its colorful and sometimes by its spicy nuance ingredients, like pepper which is the main element to prepare our plates. However, some peppers are not spicy and they are just to color the food in many presentations of the dishes or make them tasty, but Rice is one of the most important elements to accompany to our many typical plates too, and but it was spread since the nineteenth century by the Chinese cuisine.
INGREDIENTES PRINCIPALES La inmensa variedad de ingredientes que existe en tierras peruanas (tanto nativas como las que llegaron de otras latitudes) permitió la evolución de una culinaria diversa, donde coexisten, sin oponerse, fuertes tradiciones regionales y una permanente reinvención de platos. Perú es considerado como el centro genético más grande del mundo y muchos ingredientes de origen ancestral son utilizados en su cocina: por ejemplo: LA PAPA, la raíz de todas las variedades del mundo es de origen peruano. Actualmente se cultivan cuatro mil variedades de ella en este país. El Centro Mundial de investigaciones y conservación genética de la papa (CIP) tiene su sede en el Perú. La papa: fue introducida primero en España y luego en Inglaterra a fines del siglo XVI y se convertiría en el principal alimento de muchos pueblos. En el resto de Europa sirvió como alimento para animales hasta que el farmacéutico Antoine Parmentier, cuyos destacados invitados a sus banquetes degustaron platos hechos con papa, se convencieron que este tubérculo podía servir a la alimentación humana. Todavía se discute la popularización de la papa iniciada por Parmentier en el resto de Europa Camote, 2.016 variedades y se produce en el Perú el 65 por ciento del total mundial. Ají, Originario de México y del Perú, difundido a todo el mundo principalmente por los navegantes españoles y portugueses, debido a su valor vitamínico que los protegía del escorbuto. A la fecha algunas de sus variedades como el capstcum baccatum, (ají amarillo) y el capsicum pubescens (rocoto) se cultivan casi únicamente en el Perú. Tomate, Las investigaciones más recientes parecen indicar que el origen del tomate estuvo en el actual territorio del Perú y, en todo caso, sería una planta de domesticación paralela en México (de donde tomó el nombre) y en el Perú. Frutos, 650 especies originarias del territorio peruano. Plátano o banano, gran número de especies introducidas de África Chirimoya, que es de origen peruano, es una fruta de cáscara verde con una pulpa blanca jug osa, de aroma peculiar y sabor dulce. El doctor Fernando Cabieses Molina, connotado estudioso de la alimentación y de la medicina en el antiguo Perú, además de experto en nutrición sentencia: "Es una fruta reina y no necesita acompañantes ni vestiduras para triunfar en cualquier mesa... El que la prueba no la deja." Lúcuma es también con la chirimoya, quizá una de las frutas extraordinarias del Perú, tiene un sabor y aroma muy intensos y ha sido desde tiempos antiguos componente de numerosos dulces y helados. Achiote, semilla de un fruto original del Perú y Mesoamérica, tiene un tinte color rojizo que se usa como saborizante de comidas y como tintura natural de cosméticos en todo el mundo. Pescado, dos mil especies de pescados, marinos y de ríos (primer lugar en el mundo). • El tarwi (o «chochos»), vegetal muy alto en proteínas. • El maíz (35 eco tipos), compartiendo el origen con toda América Central, llegó a Europa primitivamente como suplemento para la alimentación del ganado y luego de diversas formas y modos se hizo indispensable en las mesas del mundo, • Muchos otros productos alimenticios, como ajíes, cucurbitáceas, condimentos, varios tubérculos y granos andinos. • En sus intercambios con los continentes africano y asiático, fueron importados diversos productos como el plátano y el limón. • Existe mucho otros cultivos ancestrales de creciente popularidad y uso vanguardista (por ejemplo en la nutrición de astronautas), como es el caso de la quinua la kañiwa, y la kiwicha. Asimismo se puede encontrar en
el Perú comestibles nativos de la selva como el saúco, camu camu (contiene altos niveles de vitamina C) o el yacón (muy recomendado para los diabéticos) y la uña de gato (muy conocida por sus propiedades curativas del cáncer).
. . . . . . . MAIN INGREDIENTS There are many ingredients we can use for the preparation of different typical plates (such as indigenous ingredients and those what came from elsewhere). Definitely these have allowed the evolution of a diversity of plates and they are all coexisting, without opposing, with strong regional traditions, and the permanent reinvention in their preparation in fact, Peru is considered as one of the largest genetic centers of the world and many ancestral ingredients that are used on our food. For Example: *LA PAPA (POTATO): The root of all these varieties of potatoes of the world. At the moment, there are four thousand varieties of potatoes that are cultivated in this country. The World Center of Research and conservation genetics of potato (CIP), has its Operation Center in Perú. The first potato was introduced in Spain and then in England in the late sixteenth century and it would become the main food in many countries and finally it was food for animals but the chemist Mr. Antoine Parmentier proved that it could be used to prepare many plates and until this time, there are discussions about the real popularization of the potato initiated by Parmertier in the rest of Europe. *There are 2016 varieties of sweet potatoes in Perú and produce the 65 percent in the world. *The pepper, native product from Mexico and Perú was widespread throughout the world by Spanish and Portuguese, because of its vitamin value which protected them against scurvy. At this time, some of their varieties like Capstum baccatum (yellow pepper), and Capsicum pubescens (hot pepper) are only cultivated in Perú. *Tomato, lastest investigations say that the origin of the tomato was originally grown in Perú and in Mexico. *There are 2016 varieties of sweet potatoes in Perú and produce the 65 percent in the world. *The pepper, native product from Mexico and Perú was widespread throughout the world by Spanish and Portuguese, because of its vitamin value

Likewise, you can find that in the jungle, there are many native foods such as “El Sauco”, Camu Camu, (It contains high levels of vitamin C) and Yacon (highly recommended for diabetics) as well as “La Uña de Gato” well known for its healing properties against cancer.
EL CEVICHE PERUANO Uno de los orgullos de la gastronomía peruana y latinoamericana es el cebiche reconocido a nivel mundial por su sabor y peculiar presentación, ha puesto al Perú en la lista de los destinos gastronómicos por excelencia. Tanto su etimología como su origen han sido causantes de controversia entre los países que preparan este plato, sin embargo su historia está ligada a la historia prehispánica peruana. Este manjar, es sin duda muestra de una fusión de culturas a través de los años, y es, en su más pura presentación, muestra del sabor de la cocina peruano que invita a propios y extraños a deleitarse, no solo con el mismo cebiche, sino con la refrescante y desafiante leche de tigre.
. . . . . PERUVIAN CEVICHE One of the prides of the Peruvian and Latin American cuisine is “El Ceviche”, because it has a delicious flavor and definitely it has put on the list of the gastronomic destinations. As well as both its etymology and its origin have occasioned a serious controversy between the countries prepare this plate, although ceviche’s history is linked to the Pre-Hispanic History of Perú. This delicacy is undoubtedly a sample of a fusion of cultures through the years. But also you can refresh with the “Leche de Tigre” which is ceviche’s juice.
HISTORIA Este fabuloso plato que es representante digno de la cultura peruana en el ámbito mundial tiene sus orígenes en culturas ancestrales en la costa del Perú, se le atañe a la cultura Chimú, quienes ejercían la pesca como medio de vida. La historia dice que los chimúes realizaban su ardua jornada en botes de totora internándose dentro del Océano Pacifico por largas horas y hasta días. Para satisfacer su hambre consumían su fresca presa, agregándole sal, posteriormente con la llegada de los españoles aportaron el limón y con esta empezaría la costumbre de consumir pescado crudo. El cebiche también ha sido conocido como el SUSCHI LATINO, en comparación con el plato tradicional japonés hecho a base de pescado crudo. El ceviche ha sido identificado como el plato peruano por excelencia porque además de su sabor, sus ingredientes reflejan una identidad: el pescado simboliza la grandeza de los mares; el limón, la fuerza de la sangre; la cebolla, la melancolía; el ají, la picardía; el maíz, la riqueza de la tierra y el camote, la hospitalidad.
. . . . . HISTORY This excellent dish is worthy representative of the Peruvian culture at the global level has its origins on Chimu culture. “Chimus” used to go fishing and usually they stayed on the sea during many days , and that’s why , they used to have fish to survive but , when the Spanish settler came to Peru , they brought lemon and salt and “Chimus” used them to feed that was all started until this time , with some new ingredients on it, Ceviche is our best plate and now it has been having for many tourists and they have good comments about it.
