Dia da Força Aérea do Peru

📣 Notas para viajantes

Peru is a culturally rich South American destination, featuring diverse landscapes from Andean peaks and Amazon rainforests to coastal deserts. Visitors can experience its history, including Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines, and engage with a multicultural mix of indigenous and mestizo traditions.

• Be prepared for local cultural practices, such as the legal chewing of coca leaves.
• Understand that local religion often merges Roman Catholic beliefs with ancient indigenous traditions.
• Maintain awareness of local political and social dynamics.
• Avoid participating in or gathering near demonstrations or civil unrest.
• When referring to native people, use 'el indígena' or 'la indígena,' as 'indio' is inappropriate. Respect local religious practices, which combine Roman Catholicism and indigenous traditions. Avoid discussing historical tensions between rural inhabitants and the urban elite, and stay clear of demonstrations or strikes.
