Peru is a country with a great diversity not just because of the fact of being divided in three different nature zones, the jungle, the coast and the high land of the Andes. It is a country where tradition and modernity are clashing, but are also integrated with each other in the everyday life. Since the influence of the modern world did not stop at the borders, Peruvians, just as in many other countries, especially of the westernized world, accustomed to the fast food world. Less people are coming home at lunch time to cook with the rest of the family, the habit of eating out in restaurants is one which is getting more and more participants in these days.
This brings the tradition of cooking local recipes in a great danger. To not let that happen a well known company created LA DIA DE LA COMIDA PERUANA (the day of the Peruvian food). In the first place this day was created for the Peruvians to come together with the entire family to cook Peruvian dishes and to protect the traditional recipes, to not loose them in the future. During this day you will be able to have a try of different Peruvian dishes. You will find the locals providing you with their dishes in different plazas all over the cities in the entire country.
Since this day only exists since 2007 you will have more luck of a culinary journey in bigger cities, such as Lima, Cusco or Puno. Dive into this culinary adventure with us! Stay in one of our Pirwa Hostels in Lima, Nazca, Puno, Cusco or Aguas Calientes.

Just as every other country around the globe Peru has its national day. In Peru you will see the national days, 28 and 29 July, coming up once you keep on seeing the Peruvian Flag all over the place. These days are celebrated in honor of Jose de San Martin, the liberator.
In the night of the 27 July you will be able to see dance ceremonies held at the main plazas of the major cities of Peru. In the dawn of the 28 July they will fire 21 gun shots and put up the national flag. The following day you can participate the Te Deum Ceremonie, which is also attended by the president. You also will be able to see military parades in the major cities.

It was a blast on Friday! We invited our guest to travel back in time with us. Was there a dress code? No there wasn’t but still you could find most of the people joining in to be a part of the PIRWA Folks from the 80s. To make the night complete the drinks of the night were pretty colorful…

You are not a fan of blisters, sweaty smalls or exhaust at the end of the day? You are not the kind of person who enjoys long hikes but you still would like to enjoy the former empire of the Incas in a unique way. Take a train from just outside of Cusco which will lead you directly to Aguas Calients. You can choose between the low budget, backpacker train, the more luxury version with the Vista Dome, a train with huge windows to enjoy the stunning nature and the super luxury version, the Hiran Binghan, which includes any additional service you could think of.
Give yourself a couple of days here in Cusco to understand or maybe even feel the power this place once had in the ancient times! Explore the mixture of tradition and modernity which is combined in a unique way but also stretches in two completely different directions.
This will make you appreciate the visit of the new wonder of the world Machu Picchu even more. You will understand in a better way, why this place played a big role in the times of the empire of the Incas and how it was connected to Cusco.
