Esta familia pesca, hace su pan de yuca llamado casabe y vive tranquila en la riqueza del bosque.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;GÜEPPÍ. Espejos de aguas verdes nos llevan a Puerto Estrella en la lancha de los guardaparques de Sernanp. Estamos, por fin, en la Zona Reservada Güeppí, después del viaje más largo de nuestras vidas. Hemos tenido que viajar a Quito por avión y luego subirnos a un ómnibus interprovincial hasta la selva ecuatoriana de El Coca para empezar a bajar por el río Napo, durante más de 12 horas, hasta territorio peruano. Este paraíso que comparten el Perú, Ecuador y Colombia, entre los ríos Napo y Putumayo, es una zona donde viven más delfines rosados que gente. A nuestro paso, las familias de tortugas que toman sol en los troncos de los árboles se lanzan al agua. Las mariposas se paran en nuestras narices a secarse las alas. Los guacamayos azules vuelan en pareja gritando, las garzas cruzan de un lado al otro del río y las huellas de ronsocos sobre las playas del río nos revelan que hemos llegado a una selva muy poco tocada por el hombre y sus torpezas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Tan grande es el Perú, que si intentáramos llegar desde Iquitos tendríamos que viajar en un bote con hamacas, durante siete días, sin salir de una misma región. Güeppí es el extremo más norte de Loreto, es una de las dos orejitas del mapa peruano, es nuestro maravilloso pedazo de un corredor trinacional de conservación por el cual el Perú, Ecuador y Colombia han firmado un compromiso de protección del bosque. Pero, a diferencia de Ecuador y Colombia, el Perú no&lt;br /&gt;ha categorizado su reserva y eso nos mantiene en una situación transitoria muy vulnerable, pues los nativos secoyas, huitotos y kichwas que la habitan no pueden establecer planes de manejo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;VALIOSO ESFUERZO&lt;br /&gt;Guido Sandoval Estrella, presidente de la Organización Indígena Secoya del Perú, me cuenta que desde 1990 empezaron a organizarse. En 1997 trabajaron con Inrena (hoy Sernanp) en la creación de la Zona Reservada Güeppí y desde entonces esperan lograr la categoría definitiva (ver mapa) que les permita proteger su bosque. Para eso han viajado a Lima en octubre del 2011 y han solicitado al Ministerio del Ambiente que inicie ese urgente trámite. “Urgente, decimos, porque mientras tanto, en el 2006 el Estado entregó la concesión del lote 117 a Perú-Petro y Petrobras, sin consultarnos, y eso podría traerse abajo todo nuestro esfuerzo de conservación y la vida que queremos tener en nuestro territorio”, dice Guido, todavía confiado en que la solución estará a la altura&lt;br /&gt;de su paraíso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KdMvUTApwW0/T0vy2F4xtcI/AAAAAAAAARg/_-YSRBRJXWc/s1600/pti-blog02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="215" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KdMvUTApwW0/T0vy2F4xtcI/AAAAAAAAARg/_-YSRBRJXWc/s320/pti-blog02.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;COMPROMISO. Wilder Coquincha, guardaparque secoya, se despide de su familia para salir a cuidar la reserva.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;CLAN FAMILIAR&lt;br /&gt;En Puerto Estrella vive solo un clan familiar, 25 personas, entre abuelos, padres, hijos y nietos. La familia Coquincha, nadie más en varios kilómetros a la redonda. Ellos vivían en Belén, una zona bastante más poblada y, animados por un proyecto de la ONG Ibbys, decidieron venir a poblar esta zona para convertirse en reyes y guardianes de un bosque tan rico que les ofrece todo lo que necesitan para sobrevivir. Viajaron en el 2003 durante 18 días en canoas, llegaron, el lugar les gustó y se quedaron, sin escuela, sin posta, sin tiendas, solo ellos y el bosque, un inmenso bosque lleno de vida y de riquezas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Isabel Coquincha, con una corona en la cabeza, me cuenta que viven tranquilos cazando paiche, que nadie pelea, que la abuela atiende los partos y que cuando se acabe el verano vendrá un profesor a dar clases a todos los niños a la vez. “Por acá hay más pescado, acá podemos vivir más bonito”, me dice. Su hermano Wilder es guardaparque y es capaz de diferenciar al delfín del paiche por el tipo de onda que dejan en el agua cuando se acaban de zambullir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wilder madruga para salir a monitorear el bosque mientras su mujer va a la chacra y sus cuñados pescan, vuelve al mediodía para comer pescado con un pan de yuca que ellos llaman casabe y duerme bajo millones de estrellas. Está convencido de que la conservación de Güeppí es la mejor opción de desarrollo para su familia. N i se imagina la posibilidad de cortar árboles y vender madera, ni la de trabajar en un pozo petrolero. No, para Wilder la vida empieza y termina en esta fabulosa tierra, su tierra, nuestra tierra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5RXhcx_Xmns/T0vzZIBKRJI/AAAAAAAAAR4/9iezFrowUKI/s1600/pti-blog03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="228" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5RXhcx_Xmns/T0vzZIBKRJI/AAAAAAAAAR4/9iezFrowUKI/s320/pti-blog03.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;ARMONÍA. Niños secoyas pasan las tardes jugando en aguas limpias llenas de delfines rosados, lobos de río, manatíes y tortugas taricayas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;La Zona Reservada Güeppí es un área natural protegida, reconocida como tal mediante D.S. 003-97-AG en 1997. En marzo del 2006, los pueblos indígenas secoyas, huitotos y kichwas, junto con Inrena (ahora Sernanp), hicieron una propuesta de categorización para crear en esta zona un parque nacional y dos reservas comunales (Airo Pai y Huimeki). Pero han pasado 15 años desde su creación como zona reservada y hasta la fecha no se ha logrado su categorización definitiva.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esto mantiene a Güeppí en una situación transitoria muy vulnerable, pues no permite a sus habitantes establecer planes de manejo respaldados por ley. Una amenaza para la zona reservada es que en mayo del 2006, sin consulta previa, Perú-Petro S.A. y la empresa Petrobras Energía Perú S.A. firmaron el contrato de licencia para la exploración y explotación de hidrocarburos del lote 117. Este lote se superpone a la reserva.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zRDyZU-usK8/T0vzpg6f_qI/AAAAAAAAASA/SHPTARU06HM/s1600/pti-blog04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="189" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zRDyZU-usK8/T0vzpg6f_qI/AAAAAAAAASA/SHPTARU06HM/s320/pti-blog04.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Inventario de la organización mundial The Field Museum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;LA GENTE Y EL BOSQUE&lt;br /&gt;La Zona Reservada Güeppí cuenta con 625.971 hectáreas de bosques. En ella viven tres pueblos indígenas: secoyas, huitotos y kichwas.

Desde el 20 y hasta el 27 de Febrero podremos celebrar y disfrutar de este refrescante cóctel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Uno de los orígenes de su nombre (Chilcano) se recreó cuando el ex Presidente del Perú Manuel Odría (1948 – 1956) que llegó al poder a través de un golpe de estado, durante una convulsionada época de nuestra historia política caracterizada por un gobierno hostil con sus rivales políticos que por entonces eran los Apristas. Al Presidente Odría se le conocía por su carácter áspero, prepotente y con poco sentido del humor, de allí que muy pocos se atreverían a gastarle una broma, sin embargo, por otro lado era venerado por su valiente participación en la guerra de 1941 con el Ecuador, donde ostentando el grado de Teniente Coronel del Ejército (el mismo grado del actual Presidente Humala) se convirtió en el artífice del triunfo en la decisiva batalla de Zarumilla, luego de la cual apenas 5 años después, llegaría al grado de General.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Una de las aficiones del Presidente Odría era pasar horas perdido en medio de la tranquilidad de la pesca con caña, la que disfrutaba junto a unos amigos que vivían en el Puerto de Chilca, una Caleta que queda a una hora al sur de Lima. Al final de la jornada de pesca solían hacer largas tertulias al lado de la parrilla donde cocinaban lo pescado ese día, apoyados en la parrilla de un modesto restaurante que estaba al pie de muelle principal, donde la propietaria disfrutaba de la presencia del Presidente del Perú cada fin de semana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;No por coincidencia, sino más por seguridad, el mozo que lo había atendido en ese restaurante por años, siempre había sido el mismo, y a la vez que ayudaba en la parrilla y se encargaba del servicio, aplicaba como bartender, donde cada semana siempre tenía alguna receta para agasajar al Presidente del Perú.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Don Manuel solía disfrutar sobre todo una que este mozo preparaba con Pisco y gaseosa blanca, con un estilo muy peculiar que había aprendido de una bebida que los italianos afincados en esas costas preparaban con Grapa, (un aguardiente de uva de proceso similar a nuestro Pisco pero de mucho menos calidad). Don Manuel un día le preguntó qué nombre tenía el cóctel que siempre le preparaba, y lo cierto era que el mozo nunca había atinado a darle un nombre a este cóctel que primeramente copio y luego mejoró del de los italianos, así que, en un minuto de picardía le respondió, produciéndose un dialogo como el que sigue: &lt;br /&gt;Mozo: "Don Manuel, se llama… Chilcano" – Presidente: "¿y porque ese nombre?". – Mozo: "Por qué usted está en CHILCA y mi apellido es CANO"… Los amigos del Presidente en principio se quedaron mirándose unos a otros, pues el General Odría no era hombre de bromas… pero después de 3 segundos de silencio absoluto… una sonora e interminable carcajada de don Manuel, sería seguida por todos los asistentes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;La picardía de aquel mozo Cano fue recompensada con una generosa propina y la inmortalización de la bebida que había creado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Aquí la receta para hacerla en casa con los amigos:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;3 Onzas de Pisco Quebranta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;5 Onzas de ginger ale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;½ Onza de jarabe de goma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;3 Gotas de amargo de Angostura&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Zumo de 1 limón&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;3 Hielos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;2 Rodajas de limón&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;En un vaso largo poner los 3 hielos y agregar todos los ingredientes en el mismo orden.

The truth is that the Amazon is a habitat, not a zoo. Animals often disguise themselves for protection from predators. In order to spot wildlife, you need to be very quiet and use each of your senses. The scent of a peccary might be what leads you to a pack of them. Listen to leaves rustling in the tress and you may just see a monkey. If you’re lucky you may see some colorful birds, such as Macaws eating clay along the bank of the Tambopata River.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Amazon is dangerous: While the Amazon is filled with amazing creatures such as jaguars, anacondas, and caiman, they have little interest in human contact. They prefer their natural diet. Most snakes and spiders in the Amazon are not venomous. They are afraid of humans so when they see them coming, they go in the opposite direction. Guests who visit the Amazon rarely encounter dangerous animals because they stay on well maintained trails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Amazon is unbearably uncomfortable: Some people think of the Amazon as deathly hot, humid and filled with mosquitos. While the Amazon is indeed humid during the rain season, the dry season can offer a pleasurable climate. Yes, it's hot in the sun, but the canopy provides a comfortable shade year-round. The majority of mosquito bites can be avoided by wearing tightly-woven long-sleeved clothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It is only for expeditionaries: Tambopata, Peru offers a variety of activities and experiences for people wanting to visit the Amazon. While some lodges offer adventure tours, most have well-maintained trails for mild jungle walks. Many accommodations provide a hammock and have yoga classes and spa activities such as massages or facials. While some visitors prefer to climb trees, kayak or bush-wack through the forest, for others the Amazon can be a great place to relax and rejuvenate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The natives are armed with bows and arrows: Some uncontacted tribes still exist in the Amazon. They are not aggressive and prefer to stay away from other civilizations. However most native people in the Amazon live much like you and me. The indigenous people in Tambopata have a strong appreciation for and dependence on the forest for their livelihood. While they recognize their ancestry and engage in traditional customs, they wear modern clothing, go to school and participate in business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Amazon is like any other rainforest: The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world. It covers roughly 40% of the South American continent and is in part of eight countries. It is often referred to as the “capital of biodiversity” due to its incredible variety of plant and animal species. It is the ancestral home to around one million indigenous people who can be divided into around 400 tribes. The Amazon has an abundance of cultural traditions, natural properties, medicinal uses, and animal life than cannot be found anywhere else in the world.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.peruthisweek.com/travel-243-Six-common-misconceptions-about-the-Amazon/" target="_blank"&gt;By Danielle Krautmann - Peru This Week&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Info about Tours anf Photos:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/eng/perutravellodgemanutambopata.asp" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;Tambopata an Manu Tours&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/eng/photogallerytambopata.asp" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;Tambopata Photo Gallery&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-2649906045213333197?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/2649906045213333197'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/2649906045213333197'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2012/02/six-common-misconceptions-about-amazon.html' title='Six common misconceptions about the Amazon'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-1840153974755803443</id><published>2012-02-13T13:35:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-02-13T13:35:38.627-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='festividad virgen de la candelaria'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bailes altiplano'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='costumbres de puno'/><title type='text'>El magnífico arte de las máscaras de la diablada</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9ddLYAPJZMs/TzlTGA1PaqI/AAAAAAAAARI/tm5lWLErpH0/s1600/arte-mascaras.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9ddLYAPJZMs/TzlTGA1PaqI/AAAAAAAAARI/tm5lWLErpH0/s640/arte-mascaras.jpg" width="453" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;La diablada es uno de los bailes del Altiplano que se realiza en honor a la Virgen de la Candelaria, patrona de Puno.

Bueno, iba con un perro, pequeño y amistoso. Como ella seguía desconcertado, hace diez minutos un ómnibus me había dejado en un abandonado rincón de la Panamericana Sur. “Siga por ese camino por una media hora y llegará a Silaka”, me dijo el chofer. El camino era una senda apenas perceptible en la magnífica desolación de aquel desierto rojizo, de grandes cactus y piedras. Yo estoy un poco loco. Pero, ¿qué hacía esa niña en este remoto paraje?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Entonces escuché su voz. “Hola”, me saludó, “¿de dónde eres?”. Le respondí y me dijo que ya se había dado cuenta de que no era de la zona. “Miras para todos lados, se ve que no conoces”, agregó. Se llamaba Venus,&amp;nbsp; su padre era un aficionado a la astronomía. Lateamos y conversamos. “¿No tienes miedo de andar sola?”, le pregunté. “No, aquí todos nos conocemos”, me dijo. Y entonces me enteré de que Silaka era el balneario de los pobladores de Jaqui (25 kilómetros tierra adentro desde Yauca, pueblo famoso por sus olivos). “Pero nuestras aceitunas son más ricas”, dijo, y se rió.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;De pronto, apareció Silaka. Era una cosa surrealista. No solo porque todas las casas eran de piedra, incluyendo las camas, sino porque no se advertía ni un grano de arena, como en las cercanas playas de Jiway y Puerto Inca. A Venus le divertía verme turulato. Me presentó a su familia y fuimos todos a bañarnos en unas pozas bellas y salvajes, rodeadas por inhóspitos rocones. Después insistieron en invitarme a comer y quedarme a dormir. Cuando me despedí, al día siguiente, Venus me dijo: “Cuidado que te vayas a perder”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Fuente: Revisa Somos - Diario El Comercio 04/02/12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luisyupanqui/4286590348/#" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Fotos: Luis Yupanqui (Perfil Flickr)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Informacion Turistica:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_559710590"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/galeriafotosarequipa.asp" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Galeria Fotos Arequipa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/arequipahoteles.asp" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Hoteles en Arequipa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span id="goog_559710591"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-5996425552553035868?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/5996425552553035868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/5996425552553035868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2012/02/playa-prehistorica.html' title='Playa prehistorica'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eMQq3DFy3LQ/Tza0I_xjr1I/AAAAAAAAARA/kkqOib9dy5I/s72-c/foto-silaka.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-1885836710409442530</id><published>2012-02-07T14:26:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-02-07T14:26:50.731-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mejores hoteles'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hoteles en colca'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hoteles en peru'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cusco hotel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hoteles en sudamerica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hoteles en urubamba'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='noticas hoteles peru'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='novedades trip advisor'/><title type='text'>Siete hoteles peruanos entre los 25</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rzcdDdWbh2Y/TzF6yeG5LfI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/xczUX9jBAT4/s1600/trip-advisor-hoteles-sudamerica.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="257" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rzcdDdWbh2Y/TzF6yeG5LfI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/xczUX9jBAT4/s320/trip-advisor-hoteles-sudamerica.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Mejores de Sudamérica según Trip Advisor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;El prestigioso portal de viajes Trip Advisor publicó su ranking de los 25 mejores hoteles en América del Sur, entre los que se encuentran siete establecimientos hoteleros de Perú.

La muestra, que se inauguró el miércoles en el Museo de la Nación, revela la importancia del Camino Inca o Qhapaq Ñan en el sistema vial que integró los diferentes puntos del Tahuantinsuyo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;En la exposición, uno aprecia vasos, ofrendas, aríbalos y sandalias que utilizaban los chasquis durante sus viajes. “Las piezas identifican qué productos o elementos se transportaban por los caminos y las cosas que estaban relacionadas con ellos”, explica Luisa Vetter, de la Dirección de Museos y Bienes Muebles del Museo de la Nación.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Además, se exponen fotografías de los tramos más notables y las distintas herramientas, artefactos y barretas con que se elaboraba el camino”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Un Camino Integrador&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Esta exposición es el resultado de más de 10 años de estudio por parte del Programa Qhapaq Ñan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“El Camino Inca tiene tramos por todos los valles interandinos y distintas partes de nuestro país”, afirma José Pino, secretario técnico del programa. “Conecta también a Ecuador, Colombia, Argentina, Bolivia y Chile. Este hecho ha pasado casi desapercibido. La muestra busca que la población acceda a estos conocimientos”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Cabe recordar que la exposición fotográfica sobre el Camino Inca se realiza en los precisos momentos en que este monumento histórico ha sido presentado ante la Unesco para que sea declarado Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;

La inversión sería de US$ 44.6 millones y el establecimiento estaría dirigido al mercado turístico ejecutivo, reportó este medio. El hotel Gabu estará recubierto de vidrios, tendrá un área de 15 mil m2, 45 metros de altura, 14 pisos, un centro de convenciones, entre otros servicios. El proyecto está ubicado cerca del acceso principal a la zona residencial, donde vive la población con mayor poder adquisitivo. Aquella zona no tiene mayor oferta comercial ni de servicios turísticos, aunque a algunas cuadras estará ubicado el próximo restaurante Chicha, de Gastón Acurio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;Información de hoteles y tours:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br style="color: #134f5c;" /&gt;&lt;br style="color: #134f5c;" /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;Hoteles en Trujillo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="color: #134f5c;" /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;Viajes por el Perú&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-4843514714250491171?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/4843514714250491171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/4843514714250491171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2012/01/trujillo-contara-con-hotel-cinco.html' title='Trujillo contará con hotel cinco estrellas de 14 pisos'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ToHxD_3N5gk/Txin4W0ldLI/AAAAAAAAAPg/zEy55Jx4TQ4/s72-c/trujillo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><georss:featurename>Trujillo, Perú</georss:featurename><georss:point>-8.112 -79.0288</georss:point><georss:box>-8.1434395 -79.06828200000001 -8.0805605 -78.989318</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-6476148335606550953</id><published>2012-01-19T14:42:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-19T14:42:03.100-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marcos y Alejandro Patronelli'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Arequipa and Nasca'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dakar 2012'/><title type='text'>Peruvian desert, most similar to original Dakar in Africa</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ol69hgyhAmk/TxhxkEOZAjI/AAAAAAAAAPY/dhvske2zfJc/s1600/marcos-alejandro-patronelli.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="298" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ol69hgyhAmk/TxhxkEOZAjI/AAAAAAAAAPY/dhvske2zfJc/s400/marcos-alejandro-patronelli.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The winner of the Arequipa - Nasca stage in the quad category, Argentine Marcos Patronelli, stated that the Peruvian desert is the most similar to the ones in the original Dakar, which crossed the Sahara Desert, in Africa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Argentine brothers Alejandro and Marcos Patronelli, who have shown their skills as drivers, were the first in the quad category to finish the twelfth stage, one of the hardest ones due to the impressive dunes between Arequipa and Nasca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Perhaps all the drivers remember the old Dakar, in Africa.

Los automovilistas recorrieron ayer la ruta Cusco-Nasca y hoy llegarán a Lima. El grupo Volvo Classic Panamericana ingresó en nuestro país por la frontera de Kasani (Puno) proveniente de Bolivia el pasado 29 de diciembre. Luego de visitar los atractivos de dicha región, se trasladaron a Cusco para conocer el Valle Sagrado y Machu Picchu. Los vehículos fueron expuestos en la Plaza de Armas de la Ciudad Imperial el domingo último. Ayer partieron hacia Nasca y se espera su llegada hoy por la tarde a la capital. El jueves 5 seguirán por la costa norte hasta Chiclayo y continuarán su camino hacia Ecuador por Piura. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Información de hoteles en Chiclayo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/chiclayohoteles.asp"&gt;Hoteles en Chiclayo&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-223416260208548812?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/223416260208548812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/223416260208548812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2012/01/volvos-clasicos-llegan-lima-tras.html' title='Volvos clásicos llegan a Lima tras recorrer el Perú'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8TkomUaISSM/TwOR9fiOPQI/AAAAAAAAAMg/qxmVIrCTAng/s72-c/volvos-holanda.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><georss:featurename>Chiclayo, Perú</georss:featurename><georss:point>-6.7765659 -79.8464804</georss:point><georss:box>-6.8396368999999995 -79.9254444 -6.7134949 -79.7675164</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-2510075923691285610</id><published>2012-01-03T18:36:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-03T18:36:01.812-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='star peru arriban a iquitos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='copa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iquitos'/><title type='text'>Aerolíneas Copa y Star Perú arribarían a Iquitos en Julio</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nmqDVu6d638/TwOQ3L42-VI/AAAAAAAAAMI/XNvPBcSPvxI/s1600/star-peru-copa.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="227" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nmqDVu6d638/TwOQ3L42-VI/AAAAAAAAAMI/XNvPBcSPvxI/s320/star-peru-copa.gif" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;De acuerdo a informes del diario Gestión, Iquitos contaría este año con una mayor conectividad aérea. La directora regional de la Dircetura, Norma Córdova, adelantó que a partir de julio las aerolíneas Copa Airlines y Star Perú llegarían a la capital de Loreto, lo que fomentará aún más el arribo de turistas extranjeros. Precisó que Copa Airlines hará la ruta Panamá – Iquitos y en el caso de Star Perú, la ruta será Leticia (Colombia) – Iquitos. “De esta manera, Iquitos se podría convertir en la puerta de acceso internacional de la zona nor–oriental del Perú y fomentar el turismo en esta parte del país”, dijo. Impulsará el turismo espiritual, que es uno de los que mayores ingresos genera y el que tiene un mejor potencial. “El chamanismo atrae cada vez más turistas”, indicó. Por otro lado, resaltó que la oferta hotelera en esta ciudad es insuficiente para atender al turista de lujo, ya que solo cuentan con un hotel cinco estrellas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Información de hoteles y tour en Iquitos:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/viajes-peru-tours/iquitos-peru-tours/ceiba-tops-iquitos-tours.asp"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Tour Ceiba Tops&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/viajes-peru-tours/iquitos-peru-tours/explornapo-adventure-explorama-lodge-iquitos-tours.asp"&gt;Tour Explorama Lodge&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-2510075923691285610?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/2510075923691285610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/2510075923691285610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2012/01/aerolineas-copa-y-star-peru-arribarian.html' title='Aerolíneas Copa y Star Perú arribarían a Iquitos en Julio'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nmqDVu6d638/TwOQ3L42-VI/AAAAAAAAAMI/XNvPBcSPvxI/s72-c/star-peru-copa.gif' height='72' width='72'/><georss:featurename>Iquitos, Perú</georss:featurename><georss:point>-3.75 -73.25</georss:point><georss:box>-3.8133785 -73.328964 -3.6866215 -73.171036</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-7638847975402899570</id><published>2012-01-02T14:35:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-02T14:45:29.160-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ayacucho'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Andahuaylas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Huaraz y Jauja'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Huánuco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cajamarca'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LC Peru'/><title type='text'>LC Perú inicia hoy operaciones con nuevos aviones</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4eBrXAHHfwc/TwIGwREZviI/AAAAAAAAAL8/faFhxmSzMXE/s1600/lcperu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="194" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4eBrXAHHfwc/TwIGwREZviI/AAAAAAAAAL8/faFhxmSzMXE/s320/lcperu.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LC Busre cambió de nombre comercial y a partir de hoy pasó a llamarse LC Perú, manteniendo los 18 años de experiencia operando en el mercado peruano. “LC Perú iniciará operaciones el 02 de enero del 2012, en las rutas de Ayacucho, Andahuaylas, Cajamarca, Huánuco, Huaraz y Jauja”, informó la aerolínea en un comunicado.

Dirty, unsafe, chaotic, polluted. Definitely not a city to linger.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Yet I found that my 18 hour layover there left me wanting much more. &amp;nbsp;We toured the &amp;nbsp;Cercado de Lima, taking note of the wooden Moorish-influenced balconies that make the city center an UNESCO World Heritage site. Both the Lima Cathedral, which houses the tomb of &amp;nbsp;Spanish conquistador Francisco and the Monestary of San Francisco, with bones piled high in its catacombs, were historic sites as worthy as any you’d find in more well-known tourist spots&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Later, &amp;nbsp;we ate ceviche in Miraflores, at a restaurant owned by Peru’s celebrity chef, Gastón Acurio, drinking pisco sours while the city’s chic set drifted by in their beachy best.&amp;nbsp;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;More info about article in&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://travel.usatoday.com/alliance/destinations/chrisaroundtheworld/post/2011/12/2011-in-Review-Biggest-Surprise-Lima-Peru/591833/1" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Usa Today&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Other info&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/eng/limahotels.asp"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Lima Hotels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/eng/perutraveltours.asp"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Tours in Peru&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-6248737812540279663?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/6248737812540279663'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/6248737812540279663'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2011/12/2011-in-review-biggest-surprise-lima.html' title='2011 in Review: Biggest Surprise (Lima, Peru)'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-8888036869998486076</id><published>2011-12-27T09:09:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-27T09:09:58.029-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='revista Conde Nast Traveler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hotel Monasterio Cusco'/><title type='text'>Hotel monasterio considerado como el mejor del país</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i5vLO_xIOF0/TvnQB-8HqAI/AAAAAAAAALY/AGZcEyPPHjg/s1600/monasterio+hotel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="179" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i5vLO_xIOF0/TvnQB-8HqAI/AAAAAAAAALY/AGZcEyPPHjg/s320/monasterio+hotel.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Hotel Monasterio recibió reconocimientos especiales que sólo son otorgados a los mejores hoteles del mundo, al ser elegido el mejor hotel del país en el Gold List 2012 de la revista Condé Nast Traveler y el segundo puesto en Perú en la premiación T+L 500 de la revista Travel+Leisure.

The rocks of Toro Muerto show anthropomorphic, phytomorphic, zoomorphic and geometric representations, in which we find human figures, groups of dancers, headdresses, masks, camelids, birds, eagles, condors, quadrupeds, felines, snakes, catfish, weeping eyes (crying -rain), straight lines, dots and zig-zag lines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The carvings reflect the inhabitants’ lifestyle, registered families, groups, animals, agricultural production and everything else that could be significant in their environment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Among all the carvings, “the dancers” of Toro Muerto stand out as a remarkable presence.

En un tiempo aproximado de 25 minutos la máxima autoridad boliviana recorrió el camino, que en algunos pasajes resulta de difícil acceso y que usualmente puede llegar a demorar un par de horas. A su retorno, Morales fue condecorado por el alcalde del distrito de Machu Picchu, Óscar Valencia, con la “medalla centenario” y se le entregó una carta de reconocimiento por su alta investidura, indicó Canal N. Tras su visita, Morales dio una entrevista a la radio gubernamental “Patria Nueva” en la que señaló que “inicialmente estaba prevista una visita de carácter familiar, sin que sepa nadie, pero a estas alturas es imposible hacer cualquier actividad reservada”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El presidente de Bolivia, Evo Morales, visito la montaña de Huayna Picchu, en Cusco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Información de Hoteles y Tours en Cusco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/cuzcohoteles.asp"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hoteles en Cusco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/perutravelcuscotours.asp"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Tours en Cusco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-8527060687074747634?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/8527060687074747634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/8527060687074747634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2011/12/el-presidente-evo-morales-trepo-el.html' title='El presidente evo morales trepó el huayna picchu para celebrar navidad'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HQTM4ZMNu4w/TvnYLt3KZ8I/AAAAAAAAALk/dOVH9C6ktrQ/s72-c/evo+morales.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><georss:featurename>Machu Picchu, Santuario Historico Machu Picchu, Perú</georss:featurename><georss:point>-13.1639567 -72.545993</georss:point><georss:box>-13.1794182 -72.56573399999999 -13.1484952 -72.526252</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-6011714384596514456</id><published>2011-12-26T17:37:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-27T10:01:42.130-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='papa noel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LAN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cusco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iquitos'/><title type='text'>LAN Papa Noél regaló pasajes aéreos</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xflRix-XENk/Tvj03OfSrcI/AAAAAAAAALM/fdpVfWikp-Q/s1600/lan-papanoel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xflRix-XENk/Tvj03OfSrcI/AAAAAAAAALM/fdpVfWikp-Q/s320/lan-papanoel.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Este 25 de diciembre, LAN sorprendió a los pasajeros de uno de sus vuelos dentro de Sudamérica, quienes quedaron atónitos al encontrarse a bordo con el mismo Papa Noél.

El resultado es una mezcla alucinante que congrega desde grandes pilotos con muchísima experiencia, a pilotos profesionales de “mando medio”,&amp;nbsp; pilotos amateurs&amp;nbsp; y también&amp;nbsp; grandes aventureros y no pocos figurettis que atraídos por la magia y la gran repercusión mediática se animan a pagar la costosas inscripciones para ser parte de “La Madre de las Carreras”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La primera categoría de pilotos son los “Top Drivers”, todos ellos con una enorme experiencia, algunos con varios títulos mundiales encima, la mayoría fichados por los equipos que van por el triunfo absoluto como único objetivo. Para el 2012 el equipo Mini es el mas grande con 5 autos y nombres como Peterhansen ó Nani Roma, también están los Hummers de Robby Gordon y Nasser Al Attijah y las nuevas y espectaculares Toyota Hi Lux V8 con De Villiers a la cabeza. A ellos se les paga muy bien por conducir, se encargan durante todo el año del desarrollo del auto, tienen la “simple” tarea de ir absolutamente a fondo todos los días y ganar etapas, su trabajo es arriesgar todo en cada cresta de duna, volar&amp;nbsp; las zanjas, comerse a fondo todo lo que venga y llevar a sus autos a velocidades de hasta 200 kph en rectas interminables en donde no saben lo que viene debido a la ausencia de hoja de ruta ni reconocimientos previos típicos del Dakar. Es un trabajo muy peligroso y por mas plata y logistica que tengan estos tipos son simplemente unos pilotazos casi sobrenaturales, siempre “full attack” y arriesgando todo en cada salto, verlos manejar en las dunas genera gran parte la magia cautivadora del Dakar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sus equipos tienen presupuestos increíbles que fácilmente pueden rondar los 20 millones de dólares.&amp;nbsp; Cuentan con “auxilios rápidos” ó “mochileros” que van en otros autos ó camiones detrás de ellos y pueden reparar de todo en la misma ruta. Por supuesto que su vida es también mas cómoda, llegan temprano, llenan la ficha de cosas por hacer para que un ejército de mecánicos armados con la máxima tecnología se encarguen de poner el auto nuevo para el día siguiente, atienden a la prensa, se van al masajista, comen rico y duermen como reyes mientras “los de atrás” siguen peleando en el desierto. Es otra vida, pero se les puede acabar en un segundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sigamos con “Los Clásicos”, gente que si bien no son de punta cuentan con un buen respaldo económico, tienen una buena logística, mucha experiencia Dakariana y cuentan generalmente con los “saldos” de algún éxitoso equipo del pasado como las célebres Montero que ganaron antes y que hasta ahora siguen corriendo en manos de equipos mas chicos que las han seguido desarrollando. Al igual que los Top Drivers tienen autos muy especiales desarrollados para ganar un Dakar, son prototipos tubulares muy livianos, extremadamente robustos, con mucha potencia y unas suspensiones increíbles que se comen todo con pan y mantequilla, son máquinas de otro planeta para nosotros. Los clásicos son mas bien maduros, muchos de ellos tienen al Dakar como parte de su ADN y lo han corrido por lo menos 10 veces, normalmente rondan entre los primeros 20 puestos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sOfnpJFxpkw/TvSYeoiS56I/AAAAAAAAAKo/egiYqYuOa40/s1600/dakar-peru.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="189" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sOfnpJFxpkw/TvSYeoiS56I/AAAAAAAAAKo/egiYqYuOa40/s320/dakar-peru.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Luego vienen “Los del medio”, salvo quizás Orly Terranova que va en una Toyota V8 oficial dispuesto a dar pelea por la punta, el resto de pilotos sudamericanos aspiran a llegar del puesto 25 para abajo, es una posibilidad real de acuerdo a nuestras capacidades tecnológicas y logísticas. Muchísmos argentinos, bastantes chilenos, no pocos peruanos y finalmente bolivianos, paraguayos, uruguayos y venezolanos lo intentarán en diversas condiciones. Su fuerte es la arena, allí tienen experiencia y hacen diferencias grandes con los europeos, su principal enemigo es la logística y eso los obliga a pensar mucho mejor como enfrentar los obstáculos, su ritmo es mas cauteloso y no pueden arriesgar tanto ya que una rotura les puede costar la carrera. Muchísimos europeos, americanos y orientales también son parte de este grupo, con menores posibilidades pero las mismas ilusiones, son gente con experiencia que saben medir sus fuerzas y dosificar su medio mecánico para intentar aguantar los 15 días e ir subiendo de a pocos en la tabla general. Esa es la realidad de la mayoría de pilotos peruanos, nosotros en el 2010 llegamos a estar en el puesto 37, los Ferrand terminaron el 2010 muy bien y en el 2011 si no hubiera sido por el golpe en la penúltima etapa hubieran estado metidos en el Top 30, chilenos como mi buen amigo Jorge Latrach, puesto 27 en el 2011, son ejemplos de buenos pilotos y equipos sudamericanos que tienen la experiencia y capacidad para pelear y estar lo mas arriba posible. Para este 2012 estoy seguro de la dupla de Duro 4x4 de Diego Weber y Alonso Carrillo pueden dar mas de una sorpresa, tienen todo el talento y la preparación para lograr consolidarse. Estos pilotos la sufren mas, llegan mas tarde, muchas veces son ellos mismos los encargados de reparar, duermen menos y comen cuando pueden. Pero sin duda alguna viven un sueño que han perseguido por años y solo estar allí, medio muertos, llenos de polvo y con hambre es suficiente para hacerlos muy felices. En mi caso, me encontré a mi mismo varias veces medio zombie, parado en medio de un bivouac a las 3 de la mañana y siendo el tipo mas feliz de la tierra. La sensación de ser parte de ese grupo de gente es algo que quizás solo un piloto apasionado que ha luchado por años para llegar allí puede entender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente vienen “Los de Atrás”, aquellos que solo van por la foto de la partida y cuando las papas queman se van a su casa, otros tienen mas garra e intentan pelear pero carecen de los recursos y&amp;nbsp; la crueldad del Dakar los elimina rápidamente en una de las llamadas “etapas filtro”, normalmente entre el tercer y cuarto día viene un tramo muy duro que se encarga de mandar de regreso que todos los que subestimaron al Dakar o se sobreestimaron ellos mismos. Esto no es broma, es muy caro, es muy duro, es muy cruel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente:&amp;nbsp;Lucho Mendoza&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/arequipahoteles.asp"&gt;&lt;b style="color: #0c343d;"&gt;Hoteles en Arequipa&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/nascahoteles.asp"&gt;&lt;b style="color: #0c343d;"&gt;Hoteles en Nasca&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/limahoteles.asp"&gt;&lt;b style="color: #0c343d;"&gt;Hoteles en&amp;nbsp; Lima&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-3528360231750300550?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/3528360231750300550'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/3528360231750300550'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2011/12/antesala-del-dakar-2012-quien-es-quien.html' title='Antesala del Dakar 2012: Quien es quien?'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-um5lWiOItPI/TvSZe285bhI/AAAAAAAAAK0/f0XwSyseuuM/s72-c/rally-dakar-2012-sudamerica.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><georss:featurename>Perú</georss:featurename><georss:point>-9.189967 -75.015152</georss:point><georss:box>-17.1910455 -85.122574 -1.1888884999999991 -64.90773</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-2041531188869404940</id><published>2011-12-22T17:26:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-22T17:56:59.198-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='12 enero en peru'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='argentina'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='arequipa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dakar 2012'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peru'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lima'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nazca pisco'/><title type='text'>Antesala del Dakar 2012: La Ruta</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;Pegado en una antigua refrigeradora que tenemos en el taller hay un sticker del Dakar 2000 que me regalo Hubert Auriol hace ya 12 años, cada vez que lo veo recuerdo mi especial relación con “la madre de las carreras”, desde simplemente soñar lo aparentemente imposible, hasta estar en la partida del Dakar 2010, vivir en carne propia toda su intensidad y ahora en el 2012, la increíble realidad de tenerlo en nuestras maravillosas y queridas dunas peruanas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para este año y a través de una serie de artículos intentare ser nuevamente parte de la fiesta y compartirla con todos los fanáticos del rally raid que llega a nuestro país de la forma mas intensa imaginable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yZ_CYDFuKzU/TvOwxQFRiwI/AAAAAAAAAKE/XI-z881Q3t0/s1600/dakar-2012-nuevo-recorrido.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Empecemos con revisar la ruta; la cosa ha cambiado y ahora somos tres países sudamericanos anfitriones encargados de armar la fiesta. La carrera empieza en Mar del Plata con un simple especial de 60 kms sobre la playa que rompe los fuegos. En general las etapas argentinas son las preferidas de los pilotos “de rally” con pistas muy veloces en donde los especialistas pueden hacer diferencias importantes, ya para el día 3 y 4 las cosas se deben complicar bastante con etapas en las que el Dakar saca las garras y despedaza a quienes no son aptos para enfrentar el reto, las célebres dunas grises del Nihuill ó&amp;nbsp; las quebradas asesinas de la zona de Fiambala que fueron en nuestra experiencia del 2010 una etapa&amp;nbsp; en donde sufrimos mucho con el calor pues correr a 45 grados no es broma, muy polvorientas, sin viento y con mucha piedra, realmente un reto para cualquier conductor 4x4 y la permanente posibilidad de acabar el viaje destrozado contra una roca oculta, imagínense tener que ir a fondo por allí.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aVdAiL2YlXM/TvOwI8Nv9RI/AAAAAAAAAJs/yWESyBg7VFA/s1600/dakar-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aVdAiL2YlXM/TvOwI8Nv9RI/AAAAAAAAAJs/yWESyBg7VFA/s320/dakar-1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al pasar a Chile la cosa se pone aún mas dura, los especialistas en dunas tendrán sus mejores oportunidades de demostrar sus potenciales y muchos vivirán exactamente lo opuesto, el nivel de manejo en dunas de muchos pilotos dakarianos no es precisamente el mas alto en este tipo de terreno, obviamente exceptuando a los pilotos de punta, particularmente los europeos poco habituados sufren mucho en la arena y los sudamericanos tienen una gran oportunidad de demostrar su habilidades, además de las dunas, en Atacama se tienen enormes distancias de fesh-fesh, el nombre “africano” del por aquí llamado simplemente talco, polvo muy fino con una gruesa capa de sal en algunos sectores, que se destroza con el paso de los autos y se vuelve casi intransitable cuando los Kamaz y sus amigos de 10 toneladas pasan a fondo por allí, en esas zonas, el tipo de piso que encuentran los punteros es radicalmente diferente al que transitan “los de atrás”, huellas enormes de hasta 50 cms, polvo en suspensión casi permanente, calor extremo y para sazonarlo correctamente, piedras escondidas en el polvo que simplemente no se ven hasta que hacen sentir toda su capacidad destructiva,&amp;nbsp; realmente esas pampas a pesar de ser casi planas son letales para los autos y básicamente para la psiquis de los pilotos que son llevados a un estrés máximo durante muchas horas, Atacama no es muy técnico, es una clara expresión del concepto “prueba de resistencia”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde el 12 de Enero la gran fiesta entra a territorio peruano con un especial muy duro de 538 kms entre Arica y Arequipa que promete de todo, zonas de playa, muy buenas dunas y finalmente el martirio del talco y las rocas para llegar a la Ciudad Blanca, una etapa muy larga y sumamente dura, conocida en el argot de ASO como etapas Marathon. Para el 13 tendremos la Arequipa – Nazca en donde las primeras dunas peruanas “clásicas” prometen posicionarnos como uno de los escenarios mas espectaculares que haya usado el Dakar, el especial tiene “solo” 246 kms, pero eso sobre un terreno muy trabado en donde el promedio de los punteros no debe superar los 60 kph puede significar para los equipos mas pequeños unas 10 horas de dura carrera. A diferencia de anteriores ediciones en donde el nivel de dificultad luego de salir de Atacama iba en descenso, esta vez las cosas estarán bastante más complicadas hacia el final y eso implica que la carrera fácilmente se puede decidir en nuestros desiertos. Ya no es un piso tan duro, es mas bien franco y veloz, la cuestión son las dunas de un altísimo nivel técnico, allí los realmente capacitados pueden hacer maravillas y cambiar la historia mientras otros sufrirán horas enteras trabajando bajo el sol con las lampas y eslingas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DoAXuU_-Ac8/TvOwgv0s1TI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/b2QlzBh53Rw/s1600/rally-dakar-2012-sudamerica.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DoAXuU_-Ac8/TvOwgv0s1TI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/b2QlzBh53Rw/s1600/rally-dakar-2012-sudamerica.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para el 14 tenemos la Nazca – Pisco que con sus 276 kms por el desierto me la imagino muy veloz, con pampas duras en donde un auto de punta roza los 200 kph y con algunos pasos de dunas realmente espectaculares, la etapa transita zonas muy conocidas por los off roaders nacionales que iran a ver la carrera y que&amp;nbsp; tienen la misión de comportarse a la altura de nuestros escenarios para dar al mundo un claro mensaje de espíritu deportivo y responsabilidad. En estas etapas los equipos nacionales sobrevivientes tienen la oportunidad de alguna hazaña ya que definitivamente conocen muy bien el piso y pueden sacar las garras con la confianza de tener a “su” gente cerca para cualquier cosa que necesiten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El 15 será el fin de fiesta con la Pisco – Lima y un especial cerca a la capital para que la gente pueda ver en vivo toda la magia del Dakar, con solo 29 kms es muy corto, pero promete ser una de las imágenes mas lindas del Dakar 2012, sobretodo vista desde al aire, medio millón de espectadores le darán la bienvenida a los héroes que hayan sobrevivido a la carrera mas dura del planeta a una de las ciudades mas representativas de sudamerica, nuestra querida Lima vivirá la fiesta al máximo y será vista por la mitad del mundo a través de la TV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Según él, Machu Picchu no significaría ‘montaña vieja’, sino ‘pájaro viejo’. Dice que la palabra ‘picchu’ vendría del quechua ‘pichiu’, “que significa pájaro o ave.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;La tesis de Guzmán postula, además, que a otras ciudades también habrían querido darles forma de animales. Él ha analizado otra de las ciudades construidas por Pachacútec: Ollantaytambo. “En este caso, la disposición general de edificaciones, espacios y andenes también tienen la forma de ave”, sostiene.

Uno de ellos es el chullachaqui, el dios ecológico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r6NMIgXa2eQ/TsrMAHaQVoI/AAAAAAAAAHw/pAqkw3N7LGc/s1600/CHULLACHAQUI.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r6NMIgXa2eQ/TsrMAHaQVoI/AAAAAAAAAHw/pAqkw3N7LGc/s1600/CHULLACHAQUI.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="bajada"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Tal vez el ojo urbano no pueda identificarlos, ni el oído atrofiado por el bullicio de la ciudad pueda escuchar el delicado silbido de los espíritus de la selva. Estos seres que habitan los universos mágicos de los bosques amazónicos son los guardianes eternos del ciclo de vida de la naturaleza y han existido desde el inicio de todos los tiempos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los conocemos por el zumbido del aire, por las inexplicables sombras o extraños ruidos; los espíritus amazónicos viven en las historias de los pueblos, en los orígenes de la vida y en los relatos de los ancianos que heredan su sabiduría a las nuevas generaciones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;MUERTOS&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;QUE&lt;/span&gt; SILBAN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Así como los cerros tienen sus dioses, que son sus guardianes y protectores, los muquis, los bosques de la Amazonía también tienen sus dioses, sus protectores y sus guardianes, son los sacha runas, chullachaquis, yashingos, shapshicos, shapingos, shatucos, shitacos, shollacos”, relata don Oroma, el más viejo de los ancianos y el mejor narrador de historias, personaje de la antología de cuentos “Amazonía mágica” del escritor Roger Rumrrill. Uno de aquellos dioses guardianes es el chullachaqui, dios ecológico (así lo denomina Rumrrill), quien protege los elementos que forman la Amazonía por la peligrosa intervención de la mano del hombre moderno. Para defenderla, el chullachaqui lanza truenos que asustan a los invasores, genera fuertes lluvias para apagar el fuego del bosque y envía a sus amigas las hormigas gigantes y avispas para que piquen a los taladores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Engaña a los cazadores de monos convirtiéndose en presa para que el cazador lo tenga en la mira y persiga hasta que se pierda en la espesura del bosque. El chullachaqui toma la forma de un mono choro o una maquizapa, de algún familiar o amigo hombre o mujer, y se caracteriza por tener los pies al revés, esta es la única manera de reconocerlo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El mito del chullachaqui (‘chulla’ quiere decir deforme y ‘chaqui’, pies) fue llevado al cine en el año 2007, en el filme “Chullachaqui” de Dorian Fernández. La identificación de la población con este mito atrajo a 15 mil almas que llenaron las salas de cine en Iquitos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otro de los personajes más relevantes de la mitología amazónica es el tunche. Es el alma de un muerto que camina por el mundo recogiendo los pasos de cuando estaba vivo. La distancia recorrida por el tunche depende de si el muerto era viajero o no. “Silban fiiiiiuuu… fiiiiiuuu… fiiiiiuuu… Si el silbido es fuerte, estridente, largo, que hasta parece que romperá los tímpanos, seguro que era un hombre, o una mujer, orgulloso, soberbio y poderoso. Si el silbido es suave, bajo y hasta musical, se trata de alguien que en vida era pacífico, tranquilo, amable y bueno”. La estridencia del silbido del tunche depende de la personalidad del finado, según narra el personaje de Rumrrill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EO61VtceGYE/TsrLev2rTEI/AAAAAAAAAHo/8BKB24TVDQY/s1600/tunche-fantasma.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EO61VtceGYE/TsrLev2rTEI/AAAAAAAAAHo/8BKB24TVDQY/s1600/tunche-fantasma.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;PIROS&lt;/span&gt; Y CUSTODIOS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los piros, habitantes nativos de Madre de Dios y Ucayali, tienen un espíritu que los protege, el kajpamuiliti. Este es un pequeño hombre regordete que espera al lado del camino a algún viajero invasor del territorio sagrado de los piros para aniquilarlo. La única forma de escapar de su furia es desnudándose, pues este ser, que también anda desnudo, es muy pudoroso. Otro remedio es mencionarle la palabra “koshichiniri”, o al menos así recomienda la publicación “Los seres mágicos del Perú” (2010) de Javier Zapata. El kajpamuiliti es temido hasta por otro ser mágico, el espíritu tutelar del chuchuhuasi. Este pequeño hombre de aspecto desagradable vive en la raíz del afrodisíaco y no está preparado para encontrarse con humanos. Si se topa con uno, lo insultará y empujará hasta cansarse y convertirse en una hoja seca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cada planta o árbol, la tierra y el viento de la Amazonía les han pertenecido desde siempre a los espíritus que la habitan, y esto lo saben los piros. Es por ello que, al cazar y pescar, los nativos piden un permiso especial a los seres que la cuidan a través de rituales, incluso para usar el barro. La arcilla roja que se utiliza para moldear ollas o recipientes es custodiada por un duende guardián, el pahota, y deben pedirle permiso antes de su extracción.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;DEMONIOS&lt;/span&gt; Y GUERREROS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;También la selva es habitada por demonios cuya existencia destaca por las molestias y el temor que ejercen sobre los nativos, aunque poco a poco y tras inevitables disputas por los territorios han aprendido a convivir mutuamente respetando, cada especie, el espacio al que pertenecen. Este es el caso del conflicto milenario entre aguarunas y los iwanchi, demonios cubiertos de pelos que raptaban niños y mujeres aguarunas para comérselos. Sin embargo, los espíritus fueron enfrentados por los valientes aguarunas y, hasta hoy, los iwanchi no roban ni ingresan a territorios donde no son bienvenidos, a diferencia de los iwa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estos últimos son gigantes guerreros que llevan armadura de bronce: “Los historiadores identifican su aparición en territorios selváticos con la invasión del fiero ejército mochica, en un intento por expandir su señorío”, afirma Javier Zapata en “Los seres mágicos del Perú”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después de la invasión mochica, algunos iwa decidieron quedarse en la selva. Hasta la actualidad, permanecen en territorio amazónico.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-4682843798510624166?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/4682843798510624166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/4682843798510624166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2011/11/guardianes-amazonicos.html' title='Guardianes amazónicos'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r6NMIgXa2eQ/TsrMAHaQVoI/AAAAAAAAAHw/pAqkw3N7LGc/s72-c/CHULLACHAQUI.gif' height='72' width='72'/><georss:featurename>Amazonas, Perú</georss:featurename><georss:point>-5.115146 -78.1108279</georss:point><georss:box>-7.139146500000001 -80.6376834 -3.0911455 -75.58397240000001</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-780982547707160228</id><published>2011-11-21T16:43:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-21T16:59:14.797-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pablo Amaringo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kuelap'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='amazonía'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pacaya - Samiria'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peru'/><title type='text'>La Amazonía en el corazón</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="bajada-nota"&gt;Nuestra nueva maravilla natural del mundo es un espacio vivo, que se ha nutrido de miles de años de sabiduría y conocimientos ancestrales.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="autor-nota-i"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="autor-nota-i"&gt;Por: &lt;strong&gt;Francisco Bardales&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="meta"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="bajada"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;La Amazonía es mi nación. Dicen que posee fronteras, que está plagada de límites, que es fácil ubicarla en el Google Earth. Discrepo profundamente: si la vida fuera tan solo vallas, reglas, espacios cercados, el Amazonas no existiría.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta nación, que alguna vez avizoró, fascinado y temeroso, el conquistador Francisco de Orellana, representa en su propia constitución, en su exuberancia, una declaración de libertad. Un grito de pasión. Un soplido caliente de sabiduría.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi nación, la Amazonía, tiene habitantes, tiene lugares y tiene corazón. También tiene una madre, ancestral, que todo lo cuida, que todo lo protege. Tú me dirás, lector escéptico, que esa dama no existe, tan solo es fábula y debe ceder su identidad ante el planeta de los tractores, los bosques lotizados y las hidroeléctricas inmensas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero, lector escéptico, te equivocas. La Amazonía, que es inmensa, respira vida. Y todo en ella es creación, explotando a veces en tu rostro. Mi nación es el Pacaya- Samiria, por ejemplo, donde parece como si en verdad hubiera estado alguna vez el Paraíso. También lo son el Manu, el Ene, Tambopata, el Bahuaja-Sonene, el Güeppí. Son los ríos, las quebradas, los animales y sus personas. La nación amazónica se ha nutrido por miles de años de conocimiento de las plantas, del ampiri, de la hoja de coca, del ayahuasca. Se ha consolidado con las memorias de todos los viajeros que han intentado entender sus consideraciones y su temperamento. Esta nación ha escuchado por años el rugir del otorongo, que es también el de los habitantes ancestrales, de las configuraciones originarias. Es una nación que se muestra indígena, se percibe mestiza, se consolida cosmopolita, pero se define a partir de la creación. Esta nación también es Kuélap y la escuela de arte bora-huitoto de Pucaurquillo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AptO0SvAdWw/TsrJFLW9dAI/AAAAAAAAAHg/doIYivtNeQI/s1600/PaisajePacaya%252520Samiria%252520-%252520flickr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AptO0SvAdWw/TsrJFLW9dAI/AAAAAAAAAHg/doIYivtNeQI/s320/PaisajePacaya%252520Samiria%252520-%252520flickr.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Es Pablo Amaringo y sus viajes siderales a través del pincel. Son Víctor Churay, Rember Yahuarcani y Brus Rubio. Son los párrafos siempre vivos de César Calvo Soriano y los murales de su padre, César Calvo de Araujo. Es la búsqueda del alba de Germán Lequerica y Sangama. Son las figuras urbanas consolidadas de Bendayán y Ceccarelli. Es la arquitectura que evoca pasados fastuosos en Iquitos. Son los recuerdos de la Biblioteca Amazónica. Es el cine del chullachaqui, el yanapuma y el yacuruna. Es el recuerdo de los cuentos que hablaban de un gran río serpenteando como yacumama descomunal. Esta nación, lector, es la Amazonía, una maravilla natural desde el origen de la vida misma. Y no solo es mía, es también tuya, es de todos. Un lugar (como en el verso del poeta) destinado a curar al mundo de sus epidemias más sonadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I5qvVT7OeSo/TsrIdv5fizI/AAAAAAAAAHY/ix9yZ-SlJVs/s1600/231+Amazon.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="228" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I5qvVT7OeSo/TsrIdv5fizI/AAAAAAAAAHY/ix9yZ-SlJVs/s320/231+Amazon.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-780982547707160228?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/780982547707160228'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/780982547707160228'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2011/11/la-amazonia-en-el-corazon.html' title='La Amazonía en el corazón'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AptO0SvAdWw/TsrJFLW9dAI/AAAAAAAAAHg/doIYivtNeQI/s72-c/PaisajePacaya%252520Samiria%252520-%252520flickr.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><georss:featurename>Reserva Nacional Pacaya - Samiria, Perú</georss:featurename><georss:point>-5.2011999 -74.5931921</georss:point><georss:box>-6.2132089 -75.8566196 -4.1891909 -73.32976459999999</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-1276182031238399466</id><published>2011-11-21T16:06:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-21T16:37:24.618-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='amazonia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cerro de la Sal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cordillera del Sira'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iquitos'/><title type='text'>El nativo de la selva, protector de su hábitat</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="bajada-nota"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="autor-nota-i"&gt;Por: &lt;strong&gt;Bárbara D'Achille (1941-1989)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="meta"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="meta"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="bajada"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;La pequeña Cessna había subido las estribaciones de la cordillera del Sira, y ahora en tirabuzones bajaba hacia el encuentro de la pista de aterrizaje, que parecía apenas un serpenteante sendero entre los cerros que rodeaban Obenteni, en el Gran Pajonal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A pedido del matrimonio Maulhardt, dueños del hotel La Cabaña, de Pucallpa, iba acompañando a cuatro turistas que deseaban conocer a los nativos asháninkas –o campas– de cerca. Nada mejor para esto que Obenteni, en el famoso Gran Pajonal, donde no existen carreteras; solo se puede alcanzar tras varios días de expedición en acémila… o en avioneta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A medida que la avioneta bajaba, veíamos a grupos de gentes cubiertos por vestiduras marrón-rojizo, que corrían de un lado a otro en gran excitación. Teníamos suerte: era domingo, día en que grupos familiares y tribales descienden de sus chacras en las colinas para reunirse en el pueblo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuando la avioneta finalmente se detuvo y abrimos la puerta, nos vimos tímidamente rodeados por hombres y mujeres en cushma –semejante a una larga y liviana túnica– con el pelo cortado en cerquillo, y delgadas líneas negras pintadas desde la base de la nariz, atravesando las mejillas hacia el lóbulo de las orejas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Collares de pequeñas cuentas oscuras pendían de algunos cuellos. La mayoría llevaba una bolsa tejida, cuya tira cruzaba el pecho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sin embargo, ante el asombro de los turistas, también había hombres vestidos con camisetas y shorts. La mitad estaba de rojo y amarillo violento, los otros de blanco y verde. ¡Nuestra llegada había interrumpido un partido de fútbol entre nativos y colonos serranos!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SucY5g3VSXM/TsrBU_Pek3I/AAAAAAAAAHQ/Rjs_zcJSRXg/s1600/ashanikas.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SucY5g3VSXM/TsrBU_Pek3I/AAAAAAAAAHQ/Rjs_zcJSRXg/s320/ashanikas.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EL &lt;span class="caps"&gt;CERRO&lt;/span&gt; DE LA SAL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De esto hace varios años. Lo recuerdo ahora, pues observando la devastación de los bosques en la selva alta, y la falta de una estrategia de conservación de laderas y manejo de cuencas, me hace pensar en las experiencias de esa tarde, entre gente inocentemente sencilla y franca, acostumbrada desde tiempos inmemoriales a vivir en armonía con su medio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ante el problema de lograr un sistema de manejo y protección de cuencas, una de las dificultades para resolver es cómo y quién cuidaría estos territorios. Indudablemente, los problemas de logística, costos y personal para guardar zonas remotas, agrestes y solitarias son, en verdad, desalentadores.&lt;br /&gt;En el caso específico de la selva central, existen tres territorios claves que deben preservarse: los de Yanachaga, San Matías y los del Sira, tres cadenas montañosas que llegan a alturas entre dos y cuatro mil metros de altura. De todas ellas, fluyen innumerables quebradas y ríos hacia los valles intermedios. Solo del flanco occidental de la cordillera del Yanachaga bajan 15 ríos de mediano tamaño hacia el Huancabamba. De estas aguas, depende el futuro de la agricultura en los valles […].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Dirección General Forestal y de Fauna ha puesto en marcha recientemente el proceso mediante el cual serán creados el Parque Nacional Yanachaga-Chemillén, y el Bosque de Protección San Matías-San Carlos […]. Sin embargo, ante el problema de cómo cuidarlos, dando verdadera protección a las áreas, surge siempre el hecho ineludible: de nada sirve crear zonas de conservación si no cumplen su propósito. Lamentablemente, el comentario generalizado es “las leyes están solo en el papel”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Necesariamente, tal situación deberá cambiar, pero, mientras esto no ocurra, deberemos buscar medios para proteger, en forma efectiva, estas áreas de conservación de recursos hídricos. Tal como podría lograrse revalorando el rol protagónico de una serie de grupos humanos, que, debiendo ser un orgullo para el país, han sido tristemente marginados por siglos: las etnias amazónicas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[…] Es un hecho que, en general, nosotros tratamos a los grupos nativos en nuestro medio con desconfianza y hasta con desprecio. No los comprendemos ni realmente hacemos esfuerzos por acercarnos a ellos […].&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-1276182031238399466?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/1276182031238399466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/1276182031238399466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2011/11/el-nativo-de-la-selva-protector-de-su.html' title='El nativo de la selva, protector de su hábitat'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SucY5g3VSXM/TsrBU_Pek3I/AAAAAAAAAHQ/Rjs_zcJSRXg/s72-c/ashanikas.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-7166392660055900470</id><published>2011-11-21T15:29:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-29T10:30:23.899-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='río Ucayaly'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='río Apurimac'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='río Amazonas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='National Geographic Society'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='río mas caudaloso'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tours in Iquitos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rio amazonas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peru'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iquitos'/><title type='text'>El origen del Amazonas</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="bajada-nota"&gt;El río más caudaloso del mundo nace en los Andes arequipeños, pero son varias las versiones que se tejen sobre la exacta localización de su origen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aYUcHNkVkYQ/Tsq4ejpqqUI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Smyzzy7XClY/s1600/rio-amazonas1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="209" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aYUcHNkVkYQ/Tsq4ejpqqUI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Smyzzy7XClY/s320/rio-amazonas1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Con 140 kilómetros más que el río Nilo, el Amazonas cuenta con 6.992,06 kilómetros de extensión y atraviesa nueve países sudamericanos, de los cuales Brasil y el Perú son los de mayor extensión, seguidos por Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam y la Guayana Francesa. El afluente más extraordinario del mundo de cuyo recorrido nace la inconmensurable Amazonía desemboca en el Océano Atlántico, pero su origen es aún incierto. La revista “National Geographic” propuso en 1971 una versión. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La laguna McIntyre – toma el apellido del fotógrafo que la localizó–, en el nevado Mismi, sería el inicio del río más caudaloso del mundo según la revista; sin embargo, esta versión fue cuestionada por el periodista ítalo-polaco Jacek Palkiewicz, quien a través de fotografías satelitales reconoció la verdadera naciente. &lt;br /&gt;Según Palkiewicz, el afluente más grande del planeta Tierra nace de un “pequeño manantial de la quebrada Apacheta, ubicada en el nevado Quehuisha, en la provincia arequipeña de Caylloma, a 5.170 m.s.n.m.”, informó El Comercio. “El manantial de Apacheta, que más adelante se convierte en el río Apurímac, luego en el Ucayali y después en el Amazonas, reúne todos esos criterios. “National Geographic” solo toma en cuenta la longitud, que ahora se ve que también es incorrecta”, declaró el periodista en el año 2010. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sin embargo, la versión más intrépida es la del comandante del Calypso, célebre barco de investigación dirigido por el francés Jacques Cousteau. El resultado de la grandiosa expedición de Cousteau a los Andes peruanos fue plasmado en el documental “Mil ríos”, en el que escala el nevado Mismi hasta llegar al origen del mítico río y flamea la bandera peruana con un chullo sobre su cabeza.Si bien son varias las versiones y las expediciones que han buscado el verdadero comienzo del río Amazonas, podemos tener la certeza de que su origen está en nuestros Andes peruanos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peru-travel.info/eng/perutravellodgeiquitos.asp"&gt;Tours in Iquitos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2011/11/el-nativo-de-la-selva-protector-de-su.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;El nativo de la selva, protector de su hábitat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2011/11/guardianes-amazonicos.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Guardianes amazónicos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-7166392660055900470?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/7166392660055900470'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/7166392660055900470'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2011/11/el-origen-del-amazonas.html' title='El origen del Amazonas'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aYUcHNkVkYQ/Tsq4ejpqqUI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Smyzzy7XClY/s72-c/rio-amazonas1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><georss:featurename>Loreto, Perú</georss:featurename><georss:point>-3.8899461 -70.704952</georss:point><georss:box>-5.9173486 -73.2318075 -1.8625436 -68.17809650000001</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-1054322153087702544</id><published>2011-11-18T17:38:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-18T17:42:55.375-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pisco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='producing pisco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tradicional Peruvian drink'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Peru Travel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peru'/><title type='text'>Peru holds 418 pisco wineries with designation of origin</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style="display: inline; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px; padding-top: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="edpNoticiaContenido" id="lblDestaque"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="edpNoticiaContenido" id="lblContenido"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(ANDINA).&lt;/strong&gt; Peru holds a total of 418 wineries producing pisco, the country's flagship spirit, with denomination of origin this year, higher than the 367 wineries that existed in 2009, which represents a 14 percent rise, stated the chairman of the Board of the Pisco Designation of Origin Jaime Marimon. The denomination of origin of these 418 wineries is registered in Peru’s National Institute for the Defense of Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property (Indecopi), Marimon pointed out.&lt;br /&gt;The greatest number of pisco wineries is located in Ica (174) and followed by Lima (169). Other major cities were the production of pisco is promoted are Arequipa (41), Tacna (17) and Moquegua (17), he noted.&lt;br /&gt;The increase in the number of this kind of establishments is mainly due to the effort of producers to innovate and maintain the product's quality, to promote the flagship drink and to encourage the responsible consumption of pisco.&lt;br /&gt;Said increase was also attributable to the joint work of the private sector and public entities related to this sector, which promote and publicize the benefits of this traditional Peruvian drink both nationally and internationally, Marimon noted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-su3fNnxRm24/TsbemIC0IhI/AAAAAAAAAGw/lvm-IWb7da0/s1600/vino.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-su3fNnxRm24/TsbemIC0IhI/AAAAAAAAAGw/lvm-IWb7da0/s1600/vino.bmp" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-1054322153087702544?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/1054322153087702544'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/1054322153087702544'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2011/11/peru-holds-418-pisco-wineries-with.html' title='Peru holds 418 pisco wineries with designation of origin'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-su3fNnxRm24/TsbemIC0IhI/AAAAAAAAAGw/lvm-IWb7da0/s72-c/vino.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><georss:featurename>Perú</georss:featurename><georss:point>-9.189967 -75.015152</georss:point><georss:box>-17.1910455 -85.122574 -1.1888884999999991 -64.90773</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-2627401349952735429</id><published>2011-11-11T15:50:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-11T16:15:26.222-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Explorama Lodge'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='amazonas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rio amazonas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Peru Travel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peru'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ceiba Tops'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='7 maravillas naturales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iquitos'/><title type='text'>RÍO AMAZONAS ES ELEGIDA UNA DE LAS 7 MARAVILLAS NATURALES DEL MUNDO</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="style41"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: ES; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: ES; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;La Fundación New Seven Wonders anunció hace unos minutos los resultados finales del concurso que eligió a las Siete Maravillas Naturales del Mundo.

La muestra en vivo contará con la colaboración de más de 400 actores y la atención de pobladores y turistas.“Además, el nuevo ambiente seleccionado es "más natural" y permitirá a los danzantes lucir sus atuendos y desplazarse sin dificultad. Se instalarán tribunas para los espectadores. Alexander Quispe, secretario técnico de la Federación de Cultura y Folclor de Puno se pronunció con respecto a la nueva locación para la presentación.   Las actividades empezarán a las 06 am en la isla de los Uros, donde la mítica pareja hará un ritual de pago a la mamacocha (madre agua), a fin de solicitar permiso para iniciar la travesía por el lago Titicaca, a bordo de balsas de totora.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

In the classic 1966 film “The Endless Summer,” two surfing buddies travel to Australia, South Africa and Tahiti in their quest to ride great waves all year long. It turns out they could have just come to Peru.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Though best known among travelers for the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu, Peru is now becoming a mecca for surfers. Due to Peru’s location near the equator, currents from the Northern and Southern hemispheres provide non-stop surf-able waves along much of the country’s 1,500 miles of Pacific coast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Big wave surfers can find imposing 30-footers. Near the port town of Chicama, so-called “point-break” waves running parallel to the shore can carry surfers more than a mile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;“The good thing about this country is that we have waves all year round,” said Alberto Lopez, who runs one of about a dozen surf schools on Miraflores Beach, a stone’s throw from downtown Lima. “Even Hawaii doesn’t have waves all year round.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Lopez works seven days a week because so many people want to learn the sport. Indeed, Lima — home to 9 million people — is one of the few capital cities in the world with decent waves. After landing at the international airport, surfers can be riding the waves within an hour.

Un mensaje a los cocineros del mundo para que su labor se convierta en un canal de oportunidades comprometidas con la humanidad, de manera que trascienda el simple hecho de cocinar, emitirán los nueve chefs más importantes del planeta en la Cumbre G9 que se desarrollará en Lima en setiembre próximo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Así lo anunció hoy el chef Gastón Acurio al detallar que esta importante reunión, que se desarrollará de manera paralela a la Feria Mistura, convertirá a Lima por esos días (09, 10 y 11 de setiembre) en el centro de la gastronomía mundial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Cumbre G9 es el encuentro del consejo consultor internacional de la Fundación Basque Culinary Center, la universidad gastronómica más importante del mundo. En la cita se congregan los nueve cocineros más reconocidos, quienes han decidido que Lima sea sede de su segunda reunión, informó Acurio, integrante de dicho consejo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En diálogo con la agencia de noticias Andina, Acurio detalló que el Basque Culinary Center conformó este grupo – denominado por la prensa internacional como el G9 – con los cocineros más respetados del mundo pero que tuvieran distintas visiones sobre la cocina. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indicó que la cumbre tendrá lugar en el Hotel Westin paralelamente al desarrollo de la Feria Mistura. Después de tres días de deliberaciones, los participantes irán a Mistura a firmar la llamada “Declaración de Lima”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Vamos a discutir acerca de cuáles son los compromisos de cara a todo lo que toca la cocina, como la agricultura, medio ambiente, creatividad, innovación, educación, nutrición y otros, y tratar de enviar un mensaje a cocineros del mundo para que usen la cocina como instrumento de oportunidades”, expresó.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respecto al planteamiento que llevará a este encuentro como representante de la gastronomía nacional, Acurio dijo que expondrá cómo el Perú, pese a sus desigualdades y evidentes situaciones de enfrentamiento, encontró de pronto en la cocina un arma muy poderosa de inclusión social, de tolerancia, de fortalecimiento de su identidad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Expondremos cómo, a través de la cocina, el Perú es ahora un país de generación de oportunidades económicas para quienes han estado históricamente olvidados, por ejemplo nuestros campesinos”, anotó.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acurio afirmó que ahora se da real valor a la labor de miles de personas que hasta hace muy poco no eran reconocidos, como los productores de papa, los pescadores artesanales, los productores de ají, etcétera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La cocina, remarcó, también es un instrumento de la búsqueda de la construcción de un mundo más justo y solidario y en el que los restaurantes dejan de ser espacios frívolos donde solo se disfruta una experiencia gastronómica y se convierten en puntos de partida para cosas mucho más importantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recordó que, según palabras de Ferrán Adriá, el cocinero más famoso del orbe, el Perú es el primer país del mundo en el que la cocina ha logrado romper su burbuja para convertirse en un fenómeno social, económico, cultural, “un fenómeno que une a un país”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el encuentro G9, además de Adriá y Acurio, participarán los cocineros Dan Barber (Estados Unidos), Michel Bras (Francia), Alex Atala (Brasil). Massimo Bottura (Italia) Heston Blumenthal (Inglaterra) Hattori (Japón) y Rene Redzepi (Dinamarca).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acurio resaltó que esta cita de los G9 ubica a Lima como capital gastronómica de América y a la vanguardia de propuestas, de ideas, de principios y de filosofías que cualquier cocinero en cualquier país del mundo puede acoger. La primera cumbre G9 se realizó el año pasado en San Sebastián, España.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“El hecho de que desde Lima salga el mensaje de los cocineros más respetados del mundo y que nuestra ciudad haya sido escogida como sede de esta segunda reunión, es el reconocimiento a la importancia de lo que se viene dando en el proceso gastronómico en el Perú. La presencia de los más importantes cocineros traerá consigo que Lima sea protagonista mundial de la gastronomía”, recalcó finalmente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-436629363432988422?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/436629363432988422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/436629363432988422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2011/06/los-nueve-chefs-mas-importantes-del.html' title='Los nueve chefs más importantes del mundo se darán cita en Lima en Cumbre G9'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KMBhce3L6bo/TeeNg1yhcfI/AAAAAAAAAEg/DnNERX7Bjng/s72-c/0000156849T.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-142434520968727876</id><published>2011-05-23T09:56:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-05-23T09:56:48.665-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Develarán antiguos frisos de Chan Chan que simbolizarían período de reproducción de la ardilla Representación estaría asociada a la producción agrícola'/><title type='text'>Develarán antiguos frisos de Chan Chan que simbolizarían período de reproducción de la ardilla Representación estaría asociada a la producción agrícola</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2xoZhGLFny0/Tdp1qSF1tzI/AAAAAAAAAEc/xBJG2Pz7ycE/s1600/20-05-2011_chanchan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2xoZhGLFny0/Tdp1qSF1tzI/AAAAAAAAAEc/xBJG2Pz7ycE/s320/20-05-2011_chanchan.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Los antiguos frisos de barro construidos en la ciudadela de Chan Chan y en los que la sociedad Chimú habría simbolizado, hace 600 años, el período de reproducción de la ardilla serán develados en dos semanas tras culminar los trabajos de conservación en este sitio arqueológico, ubicado en la provincia de Trujillo, en La Libertad. Cristóbal Campana, director del proyecto especial Chan Chan, explicó que los especialistas presuponen que, a su vez, los símbolos están vinculados a un calendario en el que determinaron los períodos de producción agrícola de la época. Son en total 92 metros de relieves trabajados en un sector adyacente al segundo patio ceremonial del conjunto amurallado Nik-An (antes Tschudi), en donde se aprecia a la ardilla junto a su cría, figura que nunca antes ha sido exhibida. El proyecto especial de Chan Chan está a punto de culminar las obras de protección que consisten en elaborar réplicas en fibra de vidrio e instalarlas sobre los relieves originales. Esto evitará que erosionen por la humedad, el viento, la lluvia o la radiación solar y, además, puedan ser exhibidos sin ningún inconveniente, explicó Campana. Sobre las obras, precisó que en sus cinco etapas se ha permitido exhibir más de 500 metros de relieves de diversas representaciones como aves, peces, lunas, además de diseños abstractos representados en figuras geométricas como olas y triángulos escalonados ubicados en el sector de audiencias. Refirió que esta técnica es utilizada en otros centros arqueológicos del país como en Huaca Rajada-Sipán, en Lambayeque; y del mundo como en las Cuevas de Altamira, en España. La inversión, sólo en su última etapa, asciende a 193 mil nuevos soles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068805036324271401-142434520968727876?l=perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/142434520968727876'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068805036324271401/posts/default/142434520968727876'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perutravelinfo-perutravel.blogspot.com/2011/05/develaran-antiguos-frisos-de-chan-chan.html' title='Develarán antiguos frisos de Chan Chan que simbolizarían período de reproducción de la ardilla Representación estaría asociada a la producción agrícola'/><author><name>Peru Travel Info</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14168010808985817016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PrAEo53OKac/TSie3ckWzKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/qJw6JC5lKpk/S220/cab_centro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2xoZhGLFny0/Tdp1qSF1tzI/AAAAAAAAAEc/xBJG2Pz7ycE/s72-c/20-05-2011_chanchan.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068805036324271401.post-2558634818641949572</id><published>2011-05-23T09:55:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-05-23T09:55:21.728-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cerro Khapia en Puno como Patrimonio Cultural de la Nación'/><title type='text'>Declaran al Cerro Khapia en Puno como Patrimonio Cultural de la Nación</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-37M8Aj1724c/Tdp1UHlWKKI/AAAAAAAAAEY/dSC5g3dRD3o/s1600/20-05-2011_CerroKhapia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="230" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-37M8Aj1724c/Tdp1UHlWKKI/AAAAAAAAAEY/dSC5g3dRD3o/s320/20-05-2011_CerroKhapia.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;El Ministerio de Cultura declaró Patrimonio Cultural de la Nación al Cerro Khapia, paisaje cultural arqueológico de gran valor ubicado en las provincias de Yunguyo y Chucuito (Puno), mediante la Resolución Viceministerial No. 589-2011-VMPCIC-MC. El mencionado paisaje cultural está conformado por monumentos arqueológicos prehispánicos y tramos de camino prehispánico asociados a la configuración paisajística del Cerro Khapia. El Viceministerio de Patrimonio Cultural e Industrias Culturales precisó que próximamente se le daría la misma protección al patrimonio inmaterial asociado a la cosmogonía andina y el calendario de danzas de las poblaciones de los distritos de Yunguyo, Copani, Pomata y Zepita, donde se ubica el Cerro Khapia. La disposición señala que cualquier proyecto de obra nueva, caminos, carreteras, canales, denuncios mineros o agropecuarios, obras habitaciones y otros que pudiese afectar o alterar el paisaje deberá contar con la aprobación del Ministerio de Cultura.

Westin is also poised to make its debut in Panama with the upcoming openings of The Playa Bonita followed by The Westin Panama, and increase its presence in Mexico with the upcoming opening of The Westin Guadalajara this September.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Starwood’s growth leader in Latin America is Westin Hotels, which is set to double its portfolio in the region by 2012,” said Osvaldo Librizzi, President of Starwood Hotels &amp;amp; Resorts Latin America. “Fuelled by the success of Westin, we are experiencing strong demand from owners and developers for all of our world-class brands across Latin America, strengthening Starwood’s position as the largest four and five star hotel operator in the region.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Westin Lima Hotel &amp;amp; Convention Center is opening under a franchise agreement between Grupo Libertador and Starwood.

Esta en particular tiene 130 kilómetros de bicicleta de montaña, 80 kilómetros de trekking, 35 kilómetros de káyac y un kilómetro nadando", explicó.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sostuvo que "son carreras donde más importante es la ruta; es decir, no se les da una ruta fija sino coordenadas y ellos van buscando dentro de ellas cuál es el mejor camino a seguir”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La competencia, que el próximo año será en Cusco, se realizará en dos categorías: la Pro con 13 equipos, de los cuales seis son extranjeros procedentes de Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Colombia y Francia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la categoría Aventura hay seis equipos nacionales. “La categoría Pro es la profesional, y la Aventura es para incentivar este tipo de deportes, cuyos deportistas cumplen con las mismas condiciones y modalidades, pero hacen un menor recorrido”, precisó.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Francisco Basili, director comercial de Perú 8mil, indicó que en cuanto a los equipos nacionales hay cuatro de Lima y otro que está integrado por deportistas donde la mitad es Cusco y el resto de Cajamarca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“La ruta y las pruebas son secretas, los competidores no se saben con qué disciplina van a partir hasta el mismo momento de la salida (…) Se escogió la reserva de Paracas dadas sus condiciones y el aspecto paisajístico y su impresionante desierto costero”, expresó.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El primer puesto de la competencia se llevará 6,000 dólares; el segundo, 3,000 dólares y el último 750 dólares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acerca de las medidas de seguridad, los organizadores manifestaron que habrá en el mar una patrulla de la Marina de Guerra del Perú, así como una unidad de búsqueda y rescate. También cinco doctores y dos equipos de rescate más.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A su turno, Cynthia Céspedes, jefa de la Reserva Nacional de Paracas, declaró que dicha iniciativa constituye una excelente oportunidad para posicionar al Perú como un destino interesante para las prácticas de ecoturismo y turismo de aventura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aseguró que se han realizado las coordinaciones del caso con los organizadores para mantener las medidas ambientales del caso y evitar daños o impactos que afecten el medio ambiente y la biodiversidad del lugar.
