HAPPY 199 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE, PERÚ ♥

What is the first word that comes to your mind when you hear or read about: Perú? Maybe it's Machu Picchu, llamas, ceviche, pisco, cuy? (If you thought about any of those words then... yeah, it's quite obvious because those are the most famous things there are here -but not the only ones, though).   Anyways, for me, one word comes immediately to my mind, and that is  D I V E R S I T Y . Yes, I mean, we practically have almost 100 years of diversity, and it comes from the bunch of history that we've lived. Just imagine with me the following statement; if the spaniards wouldn't have conquered our territory the inca heritage would be much more alive than ever right now, right? Well, starting with our main language that would've been quechua  and the second one spanish (and maybe it would be mandatory for foreign visitors to learn quechua expressions to be able to move around here)... But also we might've been able to come up with our own technology (like...umm...Ch

That's it, you're practicing mindfulness as you are conscious about feeling and living in the now. Quick story: I met two swiss travelers - Markus and Corinne - back in February and I decided to show them around the Historic Center of Lima as they were so interested about it. So, when we entered to Casa de la Literatura (the literature's house) there were old things like ticketing booths that are preserved since the 19th century as the house used to be an old railway station.  Anyways, I was explaining some history to Corinne and to feel really into it and go back in time we approach
