Qué tan común es encontrarse con construcciones prehispánicas en las ciudades mexicanas?

Hola! Saludos desde Perú 👋🏻 Soy profesora de Historia y tengo gran interés por las culturas prehispánicas.

En Perú llamamos “huacas” a construcciones monumentales de origen prehispánico que funcionaban como centros religiosos, administrativos o políticos.

En Lima hay más de 300 de huacas y están plenamente integradas en la zona urbana. Probablemente la más famosa sea la Huaca Pucllana en el exclusivo barrio de Miraflores, aunque están esparcidas por toda la ciudad, con diferentes niveles de conservación.

Al igual que Perú, México tiene un grandioso pasado prehispánico. Entonces tengo la duda respecto a la relación entre los vestigios de aquel pasado y las ciudades mexicanas actuales. No he tenido la oportunidad de visitar México aunque me encantaría, por lo que solo conozco los restos del Templo Mayor en la Ciudad de México.

Cerco scambio linguistico spagnolo-italiano

Ciao a tutti! 🌟

Mi chiamo Andrea, sono peruviana e ho 23 anni. Sono insegnante di Storia e Geografia in una scuola superiore e sto imparando l’italiano nel mio tempo libero. Mi piacerebbe conoscere persone madrelingua italiane per poter praticare e migliorare il mio italiano al di fuori delle lezioni. Preferibilmente, mi piacerebbe conoscere persone tra i 22 e i 30 anni, uomini o donne! 😊

Sono madrelingua spagnola e parlo anche inglese, quindi sarei felice di aiutarti a praticare una di queste due lingue in cambio di poter praticare l’italiano con te.

Se ti interessa fare uno scambio linguistico e conoscere nuove persone, scrivimi! 🌸

Have you ever experienced animosity from other Latin Americans because of your nationality?

As a Peruvian, I don’t even know where to begin.

I visited Ecuador with my mom about 10 years ago. She had been there 15 years earlier after finishing her master’s degree. Growing up in Peru, I never heard anyone speak negatively about Ecuador, so I was genuinely surprised by how some people treated us once they realized we were Peruvian. We were suddenly treated as if we were lepers.

Recently during the World Cup, when Ecuadorians and Mexicans were going at each other online, I saw videos where Ecuadorians said “If Mexicans really want to insult us, they should call us Peruvians” and some Mexicans played along saying “No, that’s going too far”. Absolutely disgusting.

Also during the World Cup, a Mexican vlogger I used to follow liked a reel that said “Mexico reaches the quarterfinals BUT Peru disappears”. The comments were just as nasty, people were saying it would be a double victory. The reel was posted by an account called Historia para Tontos. Well, I guess they know their audience. It sucked having to unfollow her though.

Besides Barça, do you sympathize with any other clubs in other countries or leagues?

I’ve heard Barça fans say they have a soft spot for Ajax because of Cruyff and for Inter Miami because of Messi.

Also, even though they’re in the same league, I’ve heard a lot of Catalan culers say they sympathize with Girona and see the club as their little Catalan brother.

So, other than Barça, do you have a soft spot for any clubs in other countries or leagues? If you aren’t Catalan, what club do you support within your country?

Good destinations for a first solo trip for a woman from South America?

Hi everyone! I’m a 23-year-old woman from Peru and this year I’ll be graduating from college. I’ve been thinking about taking a solo trip as a graduation gift to myself. I’ve traveled before with my parents, my cousin and friends from university, but I’ve never traveled completely on my own, so I think this would be a fun and meaningful experience.

A few things that might be relevant: I have a US tourist visa and as a Peruvian citizen I can travel visa-free to most European countries and all South American countries.

I don’t have a specific destination in mind yet, so I’d love to hear your suggestions. These are some things I’m looking for:

  • My budget is around $3,000 USD maximum and I’d like to travel for about 2 weeks (or 3 weeks if it's a cheaper destination).
  • A destination that is safe for a female solo traveler and generally safe overall. (Coming from South America, my safety standards might be a bit different from those of travelers from other places.)
  • Somewhere that isn’t extremely expensive to fly to from South America. Unfortunately, Southeast Asia and East Asia are probably out of my budget because of flight costs.
  • I’m about to become a history teacher, so I’d love a place with lots of historical sites, museums and cultural experiences.
  • I really enjoy cities, especially walkable ones where I can explore different neighborhoods, parks, shops, museums and local areas on foot.
  • I’m not a very sporty person but I’d enjoy having access to nature for things like a boat ride, scenic walks or an easy/light hike.
  • A destination where I can get around without renting a car. Good public transportation and walkability are important to me.
  • I’ve already visited Argentina and had a great time there (especially because it was a bang for your buck in 2022) but I’m not really looking to return this time.

A detailed trip report: 3 days in Peru’s Central Jungle and Central Highlands

We left Lima at 10:30 p.m. and arrived in La Merced at 8:30 the following morning. La Merced lies in Peru’s Selva Central, the eastern slopes of the Andes where the mountains gradually descend into the Amazon Basin.

Our first stop was Bayoz Waterfall. Despite the cold water, my friends and I couldn’t resist taking a swim. It was the perfect way to wake up after the bus ride and the lush forest trail leading back from the falls was just as memorable as the waterfall itself.

From there we continued to the small riverside village of Puerto Yurinaki, where we had lunch before taking a boat ride along the Perené River.

After nearly four more hours on the road, we reached Oxapampa, where we spent the night. The next morning we headed to the nearby district of Chontabamba. There we toured a local dairy plant, where dairy products are made using the region’s fresh milk.

That day happened to be Chontabamba’s foundation anniversary. The town was alive with festivities and different dance groups performed the traditional Danza de los Negritos accompanied by a live orchestra.

That afternoon we drove for about six hours to Huancayo, arriving around 1:30 in the morning for another overnight stay.

Our final day began with a visit to Cochas. The village is famous for its craftsmanship. They create intricately carved mates burilados (dried gourds engraved by hand). Every piece depicts scenes of everyday life, local customs, agricultural traditions and celebrations.

Our next stop was the beautiful Laguna de Paca, in the province of Jauja. The lake, above 3400 meters above sea level, is surrounded by mountains and is home to different species of wild ducks.

The final visit was to the Convento de Santa Rosa de Ocopa, a Franciscan monastery with more than 300 years of history. Missionaries trained there before traveling to Peru’s Central Jungle to evangelize the Indigenous population. The convent houses a beautiful dining hall decorated with murals depicting those missionary expeditions, as well as an impressive library containing a remarkable collection of rare early printed books.

That evening we left for Lima at 7:00 p.m., arriving home around 3:00 a.m. after three days on the road. Although the journey involved many hours on buses, I finished this trip feeling very satisfied for having experienced Peru’s incredible natural and cultural diversity.
