		<description><![CDATA[Just a few kilometres south of Tumbes, Peru's northern most region, is a colorful little chapel that grabs the attention of passers-by. It is here that dozens of believers stop off to renew their faith in the Chilenita, a mysterious figure apparently from the country's opposite border in the south.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[San Blas. A blend of ancient, colonial and modern, religious and decadent, peaceful and lively, traditional and new - the district is a bit of a mix to say the least. It's a hippy hang out, an artists retreat, a backpacker's home. It's a tourist puller and a night-life mecca. A religious site that is home to an important parish church, and also a place where locals live in the same homes that have stood here on the same streets, high above Cusco, for centuries. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The history of pre-Hispanic Lima is deeply entwined with Pachacamac. Worshipped across the central Andes since before the Inca conquest, the powerful creator god Pacha Kamaq is even revered today, almost 500 years after the Spanish conquest by Catholics in Lima. Today this powerful being has taken shape as the Cristo Morado and has been absorbed into Catholicism, and just as he is today, this ancient figure was also known as the Lord of the Earthquakes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every tourist who visits the colonial heart of Lima visits the San Francisco convent and descends into the depths of its catacombs, filled with the bones of the first generations of Spanish settlers. [...] The church is also home to one of Lima's most important libraries. Built in the 18th century, 25 thousand volumes of books are found here, many are now almost 500 years old. The furniture found here is original, the cedar-wood chairs and tables were once used by Franciscans when studying. [..]]]></description>

This religious experience, rather than being violently imposed on them from Europe, belongs completely to them and is gaining popularity among outsiders.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This small town, 18km from Chiclayo is known as the land of two faiths: Shamanism and Catholicism. How they so easily go hand in hand, I'll let you figure out - but this is a common occurrence across all of Latin America. The town was founded in 1550 in its full name Santa Lucía de Ferreñafe, in a region with history more ancient still. This is shown when you enter town by an arch with Sicán adornments which if passed under eventually leads to the plaza, with its 150 year old Spanish fountain, and the Santa Lucía Church.]]></description>

Later she met John to announce her encounter with Jesus and both went in search of Mary with the news. Finally Mary realized the Encounter between her and son. In the procession this story is played out with the images representing the characters inclining towards each other to "talk".]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I knew something was up when several metres in front of us I saw two tourists approach Cuzco's grand cathedral, speak with a couple of guys blocking the door, then walk away disappointed. Perhaps it was closed to tourists today?
It turns out that if you want to enter the cathedral and look around, something I do in every city in Peru and takes a few minutes, you have to pay S./16 per person. Only in Cuzco would you have to pay to enter a cathedral. But it doesn't stop there. We tried to enter other churches that took our interest, many of which built by destroying Inca buildings to use the bricks or foundations. The story was the same, cough up huge sums of money or God is just not interested.

We couldn't afford to enter the cathedral or any churches in Cuzco. Perhaps God will welcome us into his flock when we earn a higher salary.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We arrived in Cuzco at night, with a taxi into the Plaza de Armas, and saw the cathedrals and churches all lit up. It was very beautiful. But that was as far as the wonder and beauty went.

To my great disappointment I finally had something bad to say about a city in Peru. The culture here in Cusco is one of greed and ripping-off tourists in any way possible. This is not limited to tourist-facing businesses – even the Catholic Church is in on the feeding frenzy of the Walking-Wallets…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The main attraction of Arequipa is the beautifully preserved Monastery of Santa Catalina.

This is a walled-off convent where 20 nuns still live, separate from the parts open to the public. It was built in the 15th century, founded by a rich window called Maria del Guzman...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We visited the Plaza of San Martin (South American liberator from the Spanish) in the centre of which you can see his statue. To José de San Martin’s back-right is a street called Jirón de la Unión, which is pedestrianised. This street is bustling with people and is full of shops and shoppers. Following this street you eventually arrive in the Plaza de Armas...]]></description>
