Hello everybody!! My name is Drazen and I became a reporter for one day. Let me tell you what I learned in my city tour around Lima:

- Lima is the capital and largest city of Peru.
- Lima is known as "The city of kings".
- It has beautiful balconies that were a major feature of Lima's architecture during the colonial period.
- Some touristic places to visit are: Monastery of San Francisco, the Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral, the Government Palace, the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima, and the Covenant of Santo Domingo.

Lima has lots of beautiful things to offer and lots of beautiful places to visit! Come to Lima and see it with your own eyes!

Ancash

Hello everybody!!
It's Ancash turn that comes with our friend Temístocles. Now we are near Lima, just a few kilometers away...
Temístocles presented interesting information about this city.


He explained the class about the most important snows and its names, like: Pastoruri, Alpamayo, and Huascarán.

Some of the most important places in Ancash are: Huaraz, Caraz, and Yungay (also known as the lost city). Ancash also has beautiful lakes like: LLanganuco and Querococha.


In this picture Temístocles is showing a "lanzón monolítico" replica, that is a 5 meters figure that seems to represent a swarf with a head three times bigger than his body. It also shows big teeth like puma's and his feet seem like claws.

Hello everybody!!
Our friend Rodrigo was in charge of La Libertad and he told us many interesting things about this place and its capital: Trujillo. He explained each one of the pictures with enthusiasm and share his knowledge with the class.

As well as the other cities of Peru, La Libertad has an important cultural richness that can be aprreciated in different ways: Huanchaco beach that has "caballitos de totora (Totora seahorses)", Chan Chan ruines, Plaza de armas de Trujillo, and "arroz con pato" that is a delicious typical dish with duck and rice.

Lambayeque

Hello everybody!!

To continue with our presentations of our amazing Peru, we have Makarena Monge and Enzo Morales talking about Lambayeque.

Makarena told us that Lambayeque is located in the north part of the coast. She told us that Chiclayo is the capital city and also mentioned some beautiful places you can find there as well as some delicious food like "frijoles con seco de cabrito" that you can eat while staying there.


On the other side, Enzo mentioned some touristic places in Lambayeque like Plaza de Armas, The Cathedral, Sipan Museum, The cross of Motupe, and Ferreñafe. He also showed us some pictures of "huacos" from Moche's culture.


To give you some extra information, I would like you to know that:

- The name Lambayeque originates from "Llampayec", an idol that was worshipped in northern Peru.
- Lambayeque culture is also known as "Sican" that as well as "Mochica" are Pre-Colombian cultures.
- The tomb of "El Señor de Sipán" (Lord of Sipán), excavated by Walter Alva, is considered to be one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the last thirty years, because the main tomb was found intact and undisturbed by thieves.
