Peru is a diverse country, mixed, plural, as much at the level of the landscapes and the geography - since one passes from the Pacific coast to the summits of 4 000 meters of altitude and that one finishes in the heart of the tropical forest -, as at the level of the cultures and the men. Of course, the Incas have left their mark on the historical destiny of the country, but in the heart of their century of reign, they were finally the gatherers of the numerous pre-Columbian cultures. The arrival of the Spaniards changed the situation forever, but not without violence and loss of life. The Spanish domination brought with it a crossbreeding in skin color, culture, cuisine, music and arts, but the ancestral culture, although suppressed, never gave in. This mixture between millenary and creole culture is still palpable everywhere, on the surface and always in the background when we try to better understand the Peru of today.
