The South American nation of Peru has an interesting cultural history based on both South American tradition and the influx of European influence starting at around 1532. Before then, the Incas dominated that part of South America. Peru's enormous biodiversity is as much of an attraction as the history, with over twenty one thousand species resident in the country, a staggering 5,855 of which are classified as endemic. The country is the perfect destination for those unsure about what to do. The small nation boasts many strands and eras of intriguing history, beautiful architecture (from traditional to baroque), breathtaking wildlife, glorious weather and picturesque beaches. Try some ceviche when you're there, and savor a plate of anticuchos. The immense biodiversity of Peru allows for the adventurous eater to exercise their palette. Some of the blogs below touch on the subject of food, and all of them give the traveler or the interested party a thorough overview of the country.
