A
Breathtaking Adventure through Perú
Llamas, Lima and
leisure are exactly what I want to experience on an unhurried and free
recreational trip to Perú. Fulfilling a wonderful wanderlust adventure
to Perú, my innate desire travel as an aspiring
chef, an adventurer and a footloose and intrepid traveler has led me across innumerable
boundaries. I have enjoyed Nature, the kicking of the taste buds when I
encounter delightful cuisines and the memorable sights of unique countries. My
bucket list is almost filled to overflowing with so many destinations with
awesome wonders and a kaleidoscope of sounds and sights.
While the Spaniards call Perú "Virreinato del Perú" and the Incas,
called it "Tahuantinsuyo",
the dauntless traveler simply calls it Perú, the
land of the amazing Incas filled with rich culture and a heritage of an ancient
civilization. Perú is located in the
western region of South America with Lake Titicaca in the southeast, bordered
by Brazil in the east, Columbia in the north east, Chile to the south, Ecuador
to the northwest with the Andes and Bolivia to the south east.
Besides my love of
mesmerizing cuisines, I am also greatly intrigued by exciting destinations
which spell wanderlust, adventure, foodie trails and magical relaxation on
beaches. I have more than a dozen things all planned out for my visit to Perú. I wanted to first of all explore the Amazon Rainforest, fly over the mysterious Nazca
Lines and go Sandboarding and take off on a Dune Buggy in Huacachina. But I had
planned a delicacy discovery after these non-stop breathtaking adventures with
a great Lomo Saltado, a meat dish. I was waiting to taste Chupe de camarones, ashrimp cioppino, Anticuchos or brochettes with a side of corn or boiled potato, Tamales or boiled corn with cheese or meat which is wrapped in a
banana leaf. The tamales are almost like humitas
which have beef, onions, spices, corn, pork, olives, and sugar.
Exploring Peru with a Delicious Touch
With awesome things to do, I also decided to explore the Floating Islands of Lake Titicaca and go hiking
through the Colca Canyon. Cuisines from all over the world have always
fascinated me and I have made Peru a major bucket list favorite with its
fabulous street food. I made it a point to savor Papa a la huancaina, Tacu-tacu which is a pan-fried steak
with a topping of rice, fried egg and beans, Papa rellena or
stuffed potato, Pollo a la Brasa or Peruvian-flavored roaster chicken and Arroz tapado or covered rice. I thought that after surfing in
Mancora and admiring the rainbow Mountains, I could indulge in the gorgeous
much-talked about delicious Lomo Saltado
or Sliced beef also known as saltadito or rejuvenate at a chifa known also as
Peruvian-style Chinese restaurants with an arroz chaufa or
Chinese style rice and an Arroz con pollo, or rice with chicken.
I had chosen Peru as an exciting and breathtaking
destination for my bucket list as it has a wide array of offerings. With Macchu
Picchu and the Sacred Valley sightseeing, the intrepid traveler can enjoy
mountain biking, horseback riding, river rafting and hiking if they have the
energy and the inclination. Stop off to relish and savor mouth-watering dishes
such as Sancochado which is a
fulfilling beef and vegetable broth with yuca or cassava
and potatoes. The hearty foodie menu also includes Lomo Saltado, or
saltadito which is sliced beef, or you can hop over to Lima and step into an
oriental culinary journey at the famous chifas.
Combining the Art of Pleasure and Passion
You can take off to discover Lima, the much-talked about
metropolitan city in Peru with its awesome catacombs, cathedrals, shopping,
nightlife, museums and non-stop culinary delights. Or the travel-centric
aficionado can take in the bluffs at Miraflores and bask in
the amazing Pacific Ocean views. The brave hearts can explore an awesome
mountain climbing and trekking experience at Cordillera Blanca. The chef in me
will definitely try out the Lima dish with Chupe de pescado or fish cioppino, Lima butter bean salad, Butifarras or ham, Causa
Limeña or hard-boiled eggs and the delicious Carapulcra or stewed dish of chicken and pork.
Isn’t this an explosive way to holiday? Wow! I am sure I
will surely do an exclusive Peruvian adventure! Nature lovers can indulge in
bird watching at the Islas
Ballestas also known as the Galapagos Islands. These
incredible islands showcase rare sightings of unusual birds, penguins,
pelicans, sea lions, whales and dolphins. While the iron hearts can step in to
the myriad splendored Amazon Rainforest which opens out an once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The Excitement Continues…
Peru hikes the adrenalin with awesome experiences such as
a great wildlife exploration of the Paracas National Reservation or viewing the
sand dunes of Huacachina or flying over the Nazca Lines. Relax on the Red beach
or rejuvenate at the City Beach. Indulge in a romantic interlude at the
paradise Beach or the Party beach or try out your skills at the Surfer Beach.
What more do you need to complete a dream holiday? I would love to experience
these incredible forages in to the heart of Nature and make a beeline back to
town to enjoy the pleasures of a food aficionado. Has anyone tried out the
street food of Peru? My taste buds are yearning to try out Peruvian delights
and indulge in intoxicating Pisco which is a brandy or Pisco Sour, beer and amazing wines.
Take off into a delicious dream with the famous Andes diet and mouth-watering
Peru dessert. Go in to a breathtaking Peruvian adventure.
