In a country like Peru where people have little in the way of resources, small simple non-pretentious restaurants called huariques are the norm.

		<description><![CDATA[Walking along Av. Oscar R. Benavides, once called the Avenida Colonial that joined Callao with distant Lima, I happened upon this very pretty cemetery. It was Sunday and the large entrance was busy with families visiting lost relatives and flower sellers doing a brisk trade.

This public cemetery, built in 1859 is the final resting place of Chalacos (as the people from Callao are called) both rich and poor. The rich have built grand mausoleums while the poor suffice with a nook in a wall of tombs. Interestingly for such an old cemetery it is still in use, and it is a strange contrast to see much more modern mausoleums and graves alongside much older ones, or see old family plots more recently added to. It is also obvious, through the placing of fresh flowers and candles, whom among the dead are still remembered and mourned, and who have been forgotten. ]]></description>

Despite being attached to the noisy and bustling metropolis that is Lima and Callao, La Punta remains tranquil and pleasant, not unlike a small town in itself. Deeply connected to the sea and sea-faring, this is where private owners of yachts tie-up, where boating clubs reside and where the Peruvian Navy has its naval school. Home to Callao's middle-class, its streets are attractive and tidy, lined with the mansions of the countries Republican period.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Starting life as a rocky bay that was the nearest natural port to Pizarro's capital of Los Reyes, El Callao soon became the most important port in the Spanish colonies. It has witnessed colonial splendour, pirate attacks, disastrous tsunamis, battles, republican splendour and economic collapse. Each of these events have left a mark on the city and the chalacos that live there, many of these marks visible to this day.]]></description>

It took future emperor Túpac Yupanqui years to subdue them, even going as far as to temporarily recreate the imperial capital of Cusco nearby as a base to attack from, moving the empire's army there in the process. There were Huarco fortresses dotted across the fertile valley, and these fiercely defensive people had 20,000 warriors at their disposal, reading to die for their freedom - but life for the Huarco wasn't always like this.]]></description>

To say that Peruvians have a sweet-tooth is like saying that fish enjoy being in water. It's plainly clear and a huge understatement! In fact, Peru is one of only two countries in the world for which Coca Cola was forced to change its traditional recipe in order to make any inroads into the market - they had to make the formula sweeter. Many different desserts are enjoyed across the country and many of them are found in Lima, many of them also originating in Lima.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I will have to see to believe. I will submit without prejudice to what is presumed will be an incomparable experience and to forget, even for a few hours,  that shameful fear of the unknown that I was caught up in as a child and even now I have not lost.

The route has taken us just 67 kilometres south of Lima on the afternoon of March 30, in the desert Chilca the cloudless sky is painted entirely red. Sixto Paz, the man who claims to have had his first extraterrestrial contact 35 years ago and having visited Ganymede (one of Jupiter's moons), heads the group of 40 people, including journalists from Costa Rica, United States and Peru, members of Rama, a curious group, and Ana Maria Polo, the famous judge of the virulent "Caso Cerrado", who tries to make her secret passion for the expedition go unnoticed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing you can say about living in Peru is that there's never dull moment. Things happen here that just don't happen elsewhere... like Lima city districts fighting for control of territory and tax payers.

Believe it or not, this involves clashes between each district's auxiliary police and residents trying to gain footholds in disputed territories with their security posts, and mayors accusing each other of threatening behaviour. We can only hope things don't escalate to having standing armies invading neighbouring districts in bloody imperial conquest.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, Lima, just like any international city or capital, is afflicted by the curse of US fast food chains. These sprung up after the city was flooded with foreign investment and new prosperity after its dark 80s period. These are of course enjoyed by those who found themselves able to afford to eat in them, but, were they able to kill off home-grown options in the gastronomic capital of the Americas? Not at all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part four of what not to miss when eating in Lima. 
A boom in Chinese immigration to the Peruvian coast in the 1800s brought with it a new style of cooking and new flavours. Though this meant importing some traditional ingredients, in the majority of cases Chinese families and new Chinese restaurant owners had to make do with local ingredients. This fusion of two culinary worlds created Peru's famous chifa, the name by which Peruvians call Chinese food.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part three of what not to miss when eating in Lima. 
The line that divides the worlds of Creole and Afro-Peruvian food, music and culture generally are ever more blurred together as the melting pot effect takes hold. Black Peruvians contribute heavily to today's coastal culture which for convenience is often just called "criollo". What gastro-tourists in Lima are most concerned with though is what Afro-Peruvians brought to the dinner table, and boy did they deliver.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[February is over, it is finally safe to come out of hiding and explain how carnival is celebrated in Peru. While Brazilians are building floats and flailing around, most Peruvians have to look over their shoulders. I have to mention Brazil because to most foreigners, the word carnival is synonymous with Peru's largest neighbour. It may come as a surprise to many though that carnival is a big deal in Peru too - in fact, the next biggest and best carnival experience in the Americas is hosted in the north of the Andean country, in beautiful Cajamarca. Here the hugely anticipated event is the local population's reason for being - and you can't blame them, read about it here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Peru's transit police aren't famous for their honesty or work ethic. Anything but. In line with all Government employees, they are so underpaid that they see corruption as the only way to make a decent living. For transit police, this usually involves pulling over those drivers who violate traffic laws and writing up a ticket... a ticket that can be ripped up on the spot though, should you be kind enough to collaborate with a little lunch money, beer money, a holiday bonus if it is nearing Christmas, or even money for gasoline.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's summer in Lima. The days are hot and they are long. The sun pushes you down with its full force, as if a heavy weight on your shoulders, and the humid air is thick like treacle. The gentle sea breeze along the cliffs of the Costa Verde in Miraflores seems to disappear during the hottest hours of the day, just when it is needed most. Ice cream sellers whistle as they ride by on their ice cream dispensing bikes... but you are thirsty and a thick ice cream won't refresh you beyond the 30 seconds it takes to devour it. What is there that can save you from collapsing into a heap in the middle of the street?

A cremolada, a cremolada from the home of cremoladas, a cremolada from Curich.]]></description>

Among the ageing colourful buildings, children play, street sellers sell, diners dine and people generally go about their business unaware that they are being observed from afar.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the heart of lush residential San Isidro, the Huaca Huallamarca is one of dozens of pre-Columbian sites found within the city of Lima - a densely populated area even then. Heavily restored and open to tourists, the pyramid sits surrounded by huge modern penthouses that are a stark and unusual contrast for such an ancient ruin.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Public transport in Lima used to be orderly, clean, efficient and safe. Bus routes ran across the city in an organised way, drivers and ticket sellers were gentlemanly and vehicles were uniform and spacious. This all changed with the Presidency and quasi-dictatorship of Alberto Fujimori in the 1990s, something that the old-timers of the transport industry lament.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Driving in Peru, and particularly in Lima, is a challenge. Drivers ignore the rules of the road, have no consideration for others and die at a rate of 30 per 100,000 vehicles per year.

The British Embassy warns visitors:

    Driving standards in Peru (particularly in Lima) are poor, with stop signs and traffic lights frequently ignored. Drivers overtake on either side, with little concern for pedestrians or oncoming traffic. Crashes resulting in death and injury take place almost every day.

While the US Embassy warns visitors:

    Driving conditions in Peru are very different from those found in the United States and can be considerably more dangerous. Visitors are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with local law and driving customs before attempting to operate vehicles.

So, lets familiarize ourselves with the local regulations and customs. To do this, we will walk through some simple multiple choice questions like those Peruvians must answer to be awarded a driver's licence. Answer them correctly and you too will be qualified to drive in Lima and Peru!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had heard of the place with the famous leche de tigre once or twice, but when I was bombarded with news of it from three different people in the space of 3 days, I knew I had to pay a visit. Surprisingly this spectacular little restaurant its on one of my well-trodden roots in the heart of La Victoria.

The story begins in 1989...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Spanish settlers in Spain, upon their deaths, often wanted to be buried beneath the churches they had built on what they considered foreign and certainly un-Christian land. Doing so they thought was the only way of ensuring themselves a place in heaven. The richest or most important Spaniards in Lima were given prime spots - beneath the alter of the city's grand cathedral. Here, when work on the church's foundations was being carried out in 1977, a led box was found proclaiming; "Here is the head of Don Francisco Pizarro, Don Francisco Pizarro who discovered Peru and presented it to the crown of Castile."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, what is the tourist, with more time in Lima then they'd prefer and no interest in a city experience, to do?

The truth is, Peru is such a magical place that you do not need to go too far outside the city of Lima to find attractions that rival those elsewhere in the country. From desert oases, pretty Andean villages and ancient pyramids to hiking trails, white water rafting and horseback riding - here's the run down of nearby weekend getaways.]]></description>

I happened to be passing by when Lizardo Retes, who takes care of the site that is now a cultural centre, offered to show me around - and to the roof where you can see as far as Callao.]]></description>

Just a few days ago a horrible accident occured in San Diego, United States, when a US F-18 fighter jet plummeted into a residential zone, destroying homes and killing four people including two children. The pilot had ejected seconds before.

A similar tragedy almost occured in Peru 71 years ago. A plane completely in flames was heading was falling rapidly over the skies of Lima, heading towards Miraflores - then only a sea-side town found at the end of Av. Arequipa.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently spent a day walking around the old centre of Lima, once one of the most important and wealthiest cities in the Spanish Empire and the entire world. Its prestige has faded quite a bit, thanks to suffocating internal migration in the 50's and ex- turned- current President Alan García's reign of economic destruction and devastation in the 80's.

These were the results..]]></description>
