@stuenperu It’s perfectly possible, since it already existed in 1928. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I3O_qa82… 😀 Question is, who could he be talking to?

Watch the man on the right at around 1:47. Is he talking on a cell phone?

What a great video. Although Peru and Lima particularly have changed there are other things that remains the same and that’s remarkable…and by the way this is the first time I see a video that old in color. The shot in Lake Titicaca was awesome!

Watch for the PISCO SOURS ~ Now the National drink of Peru. Invented in 1904 at Cerro De Pasco Railroad Inoguration and Celebration Independance day for Peru. If anyone has any video on that event or can point me in the direction of such documents Please let me know at the above email.

Salute !

Simply awesome colour footage, I really enjoyed this glimse of a by-gone era. The colourful scenery and beautiful shots of Lake Titicaca looked like scenes from De Milles’s THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, they were that amazing.

What a great find! The architecture is amazing, plus I like the classic quality of the music and voiceover. It really does transport you through time. I especially like the scene with the traditional Peruvian dancers in colorful costumes. I want to tour or volunteer in Peru through Karikuy or a similar program and then try the acclaimed Peruvian cuisine in Lima.

Absolutely gorgeous. Those scenes of Lima made me sad – what a beautiful city this once was.

Beautiful! Great find.

A lot has changed, but some things haven’t. Markets still look much like the scenes from Huancayo, and sunsets over lake Titicaca are still gorgeous.
