Well I could suggest a couple of things based on the fact that I lived in Peru for 3 years. I don't know where will you be in Peru but I think these are things you can find pretty much all over the country.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all you need to eat picarones, they are a dessert that kind look like donuts but they are delicious.
Then you also need to eat anticuchos, they are meat on a stick. The meat is cow heart but also is very yummy.
And the last thing I want to suggest is learning how to play the zampoña. It's a musical instrument very typical of Peru. If you have a iPod there's an app by that name so you can practice.
That's all I can think of at the moment but if I remember more I'll tell you. I just remembered one more thing. Try Inka Kola which is a soda that tastes like bubble gum.
Nice list, but I am sure you realize that you probably won't have time to accomplish most of them. You are going with the desire to serve with full purpose if heart, your greatest accomplishment will be leaving part of it there!
