The Mistura food festival is a celebration of Peruvian cuisine held every year in Lima, Peru. Last year, we really wanted to head to the festival but our dates in Lima weren’t coinciding with the food festival. We were going to be in Iquitos and Cuzco during the festival.

Today’s photo takes us high into the Andes in Peru. If you walk around the wonderful market in Pisac, a little town about one hour away from Cusco, you will see these amazing little dolls all over the place! They’re so beautifully crafted and colorful that you feel like getting ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/cute-little-peruvian-dolls/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/conquistadores-why-oh-why/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=conquistadores-why-oh-why https://bkpk.me/conquistadores-why-oh-why/#comments Fri, 19 Apr 2013 13:01:31 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=7347
I had never thought about the consequences of colonialism as much as while we were traveling around Latin America. I am half Portuguese and half Spanish and, having studied in Portugal, I have obviously learnt a lot about “the great discoveries” of my people and the subsequent colonial actions in ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/conquistadores-why-oh-why/feed/ 5 https://bkpk.me/sleeping-with-a-good-cause-at-ninos-hotel-in-cusco/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sleeping-with-a-good-cause-at-ninos-hotel-in-cusco https://bkpk.me/sleeping-with-a-good-cause-at-ninos-hotel-in-cusco/#comments Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:04:39 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=6224
This hotel offers a perfect (and extremely rare) combination of lovely place to stay at, while contributing to a great social cause. I’d be happy to stay here considering the proceeds of every stay go towards an organization called The Ninos Unidos Peruanos Foundation that deals with unprivileged local kids.

Peru will always have a special place in our hearts. After all, Machu Picchu is the place where we got engaged! Although Machu Picchu is indeed the most famous of the ancient cities from the Inca civilization, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other constructions (now a days ruins) that deserve ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/pisac-ruins/feed/ 1 https://bkpk.me/chocolatiers-for-a-day-at-chocomuseo-cusco/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=chocolatiers-for-a-day-at-chocomuseo-cusco https://bkpk.me/chocolatiers-for-a-day-at-chocomuseo-cusco/#comments Sun, 02 Dec 2012 06:02:49 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=5448
As chocolate lovers it was a pleasure to learn how to make our own chocolate. Peru is a very large producer of cocoa beans and I am glad we did this workshop in a place that feels like “the real deal”. If we would have done it somewhere else, far ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/chocolatiers-for-a-day-at-chocomuseo-cusco/feed/ 8
