In February every year, over 40,000 dancers and 200 music bands celebrate for over 2 weeks around Lake Titicaca in veneration of the Virgin Mary. The Candelaria Festival is the reason that Puno gained its title of ‘Folkloric Capital of the Americas’.

Hailed as one of the most traditional Peruvian festivals, the Inti Raymi is the ‘Festival of the Sun’. As it coincides with the winter solstice, the locals ask the sun to return by celebrating with dance, music and demonstrations of the great Inca Empire.

In certain parts of Peru, no meal is complete without chicha! It is a staple in Peruvian culture, made by boiling and then straining maize. The drink was extremely popular amongst the high Inca ranks, earning its name the ‘Nectar of the Incas’.

In the month of March every year, the annual festival of Vendimia or Grape Harvest in Ica is a celebration of pisco, wine and cachina - liquors derived from the grapes harvested in this region. Think grape-stomping treats, gastronomic delights and world-renowned piscos.

After a long and hectic week, Peruvian families often get together for a Sunday brunch. Typically a lavish spread, the idea is to share the best and the worst of the week gone by with your loved ones and start the new week afresh!

After a long day, nothing takes away all the exhaustion better than watching the sun slowly descend between the majestic Andes. Like something out of an old painting, Peru’s sunsets are the best in the world!
