PEOPLE IN PERU

Andean Boy

Peru has approximately 29 million inhabitants.The Peruvian Society is an authentic melting pot made of native Andean, Spanish (Criollos and Mestizos), immigrant Chinese, Italians, Japanese, Afro  Peruvians and Indigenous Amazon tribes.

During the colony, the Criollos were the Peruvian born of Spanish parents and the Mestizos were children of intermarried parents (Spanish and local).

The Peruvian black community is mainly based on the coast, south of Lima. The original immigration from Africa was back in the 16th century, when they came as slaves to work on the sugar and cotton plantations.

The Chinese first arrived in Peru during the mid 19th century to work in the guano islands and the railroads of the Andes. The Japanese community, one of the largest in Latin America (more than 100,000 people), established in Peru during the first half of the 20th century. 

Many immigrants from Europe arrived in Peru in the late 19th century and they now constitute the most important economical and political power in the country, keeping a clear distance from the Native Andean and Indigenous population. 

There is a large percentage of Indigenous population in Peru. The main groups are Quechua (two million people who speak little or no Spanish, their main tongue being Quechua). They are descendants of the Inca Empire, predominantly an agricultural society of the highlands in the Andes, growing potatoes and corn as their basic diet. On the shores of lake Titicaca, the southern area of Peru border with Bolivia, is the homeland of the Aymara people. Most of today´s Aymaras live in Bolivia and the south western of Peru. The Aymaras are a religious community and also give big importance to the family.

VEGGIE TOURS organizes vegetarian and vegan tours and vacations where you will be able to mingle with local communities and participate with their culture.

Planning your Veggie Tour to Peru

While planning your Veggie Tour to Peru, keep in mind that Peru's three geographical regions - coast, highlands, and jungle - each has distinct attractions and climate. Also remember that most visitors will arrive to the capital city of Lima, located in the center of Peru's long, narrow Pacific coastal region. From there, travel itineraries are generally directed to the south, the north, or the eastern jungle region. Here are some useful tips --

Llama grassing in Machu Picchu, Cusco-Peru.

Climate The ideal time of year to visit the coast is from December through April, when there is plenty of sunshine and the ocean warms up for bathing. The highlands and the jungle are best visited during the dry season from April through October. While temperatures remain warm at night in the jungle, they drop sharply late in the afternoon in the highlands, and may go below freezing. Be sure to bring a good sun block, mosquito repellent and warm clothes for the highlands.

Popular Itineraries: 

The Southern Circuit When time is short, one week is enough to see the highlights of Peru's attractions: Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. With another week, you can add Arequipa, the Colca Canyon, Puno and the magnificent Lake Titicaca and also spend a couple of days to see the Nazca Lines and the Paracas Peninsula with its magnificent marine bird life. Adding a few extra days allows you to see more in the Cusco area or visiting some fascinating museums in Lima.

The Tuber that Saved Mankind from Famine.

The potato (Solanum tuberosum), a tuber that originated in the upper part of the Andes in Peru, has served as a foodstuff for humans in the last 8,000 years. However, it was not until the Spanish took samples of the potato to Europe in the sixteenth century that it became a universal food. In fact, less than a century after the potato was brought to the Old World, it turned for mass consumption, and during the industrial revolution proved to be a key energy source for the working class. Today, the potato is a very important source of protein and starch for vegetarians and vegans.

According to ancient legend, when the mythical founders of the Inca Empire, in old Peru, Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo, emerged from the cold waters of Lake Titicaca, the first thing that God taught them was to plant potatoes. Possibly due to this ancient origin, farmers in the Andes have developed a number of varieties that have adapted to all climates. Today, scientists have identified more than 4,000 potato varieties, many of which, as the yellow potato (papa or pope huayra yellow) are found only in Peru. In fact, Peruvian potatoes are considered unmatched in flavor and texture. The mighty Inca culture revered the potato not only as a staple food but as an icon. Vegetarians and vegans who travel to Peru delight themselves in many delicious dishes based on several varieties of potatoes, including the famous “yellow potato” or “papa amarilla”.

The annual diet of an average global citizen in the first decade of the twenty-first century include about 33 kg of potatoes. However, the local importance of the potato is rapidly increasing. It remains an essential crop in Europe (especially in Central and Eastern Europe), where output per capita is still the highest in the world. However, a faster expansion in recent decades has occurred in South and East Asia. China is now the world's largest potato producing country, and nearly a third of the world's potatoes are harvested in China and India. In general, the potato production has shifted away from richer countries to low-income areas of the world.

In the famous tourist destinations of Cusco, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, La Paz and Quito many restaurants offer wonderful recipes of potatoes and corn to vegetarian and vegan visitors who travel to Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia.

Vegetarian Tour: The Inca Trail between Cusco and Machu Picchu in Peru.

During Inca times, all roads led to the capital of the Empire, Cusco (which in Quechua means "navel of the world ').

Most roads were inherited from pre-Inca cultures of Peru, Ecuador, Chile and parts of Bolivia. Inca roads were used most frequently by messengers, "chasquis”. Some are still in use and others have been replaced or abandoned.

Cusco is one of the greatest archaeological cities in the world, and even their simple ways are majestic. It has been appointed as the Archaeological Capital of South America. In Cusco, Inca walls have been top by Spanish architecture (from the colony), and put together it adds up to centuries of civilization. The City of Cusco in Peru has excellent vegetarian restaurants offering typical vegetarian and vegan meals, delicious fruits and vegetables.

The most important road was the Capac Ñan with a length of 5,200 kilometers, which opened in Quito (Ecuador), passed through Cusco, and ended in what is now Tucuman, Argentina, across mountains and hills, with peaks over 5,000 meters.

The Inca Trail between Cusco and Machu Picchu has become one of the best recognized treks worldwide and is now a unique tourist attraction of Peru. Thousands of travelers, including many vegetarian groups from all over the world undertake the journey to the Inca Trail from Cusco to access the jungle mountains of Peru, and the ancient mysteries that are still inherent in the stones of the awe inspiring Machu Picchu.

Ecuadorian Whales

HUMPBACK WHALES

The humpback whale was given its common name because of the shape of its dorsal fin and the way it looks when its diving. Each whale has its own pattern on the underside of its tail flukes, which can be used like "fingerprints" to identify a particular whale.
Unique patterns on the underside of its tail flukes Humpbacks are found in all oceans from polar to tropical seas and follow fixed migration paths from their summer feeding grounds to warmer waters in the winter. Acrobatic humpbacks usually jump out of the water, stroke each other, and slap the water with their flippers and flukes. In feeding, they use baleen plates to strain small fish such as krill or herring, and plankton out of the water. Humpbacks are best known for their haunting vocalizations or "singing." They have a rich repertoire including frequencies beyond the threshold of human hearing with two basic functions, stunning or panicking fish shoals and communicating information to other herd members. Northern Hemisphere humpbacks have an average length (head to tail) of 49 to 52 feet, and southern humpbacks reach 60 feet. The average weight for a mature adult is between 35 to 65 tons. Their skin is black above, grooves white flukes with variable pattern below.
Even though the longevity of the humpbacks is around 95 years, they are now an endangered species, mainly due to toxic contamination, intensive oil and gas development in feeding grounds, habitat degradation, ship collisions and the still existing whaling industry.
Ecuadorian Whales.
Female humpbacks give birth every two or more years. Pregnancies last for 12 months. The calves nurse for eight to eleven months. Every year between June and September the coast of Ecuador witnesses a magical show, the mating of the Humpback whales. These giant mammals start in the Antartica their long journey to the mild waters of the Ecuadorian ocean. When they reach their destination, these 50 feet long mammals jump in and out of the water trying to call their mates attention. This ritual may last for several weeks, and one year later their offsprings are born in Ecuadorian waters.
Whale watching has become an interesting activity along the entire coast of Ecuador, especially in Puerto Lopez, a small fishing village which has still kept its charm. After an hours´s boat ride, whales are seen exhaling large streams of water and graciously showing their fins. Whale watchers can even name the whale by taking a picture of its tail and sending it to the Ecuadorian Government (if it hasn’t been registered previously). Tourists complete their whale experience when they visit the information center in Puerto Lopez, where interesting data about these humpback whales is available. This visit and many others programs in the Andean Region are now organized for 100% vegetarian tourists, who enjoy the pristine nature and its exquisite vegetarian cuisine.
