  2. Female Traditional Clothing In Peru lots of Women wear hats, llicllas, skirts and monteras. Bright colors and geometric shapes are often found on traditional Peruvian clothing. Monteras are large blankets usually seen on a women’s back holding something important. Whether it is a newly born infant or special supplies for dinner, monteras definitely serve a purpose. A llicllas are usually a petite red blanket that is worn around a women’s shoulders. These llicllas may provide warmth or style for a women. Skirts are generally seen on women in Peru. However, some women, according to their village, wear polleras. These are colorful costumes that are worn to fiestas. Many people agree that Peruvian women are one of a kind in how they dress, because they have such bright and beautiful designs on their clothing. Men Traditional Clothing Peruvian traditional wear for men is mainly a sombrero, a poncho, and a challo. A sombrero is used as a hat to shield the men’s eyes from the sun. The challo is a woven knit hat that is knitted by the dad of the son in hopes that he will keep it forever. Ponchos are like our raincoats, they are blanket like cloaks. When the native americans were around Peruvian men used to wear these ensembles everyday, but now they only wear these traditional clothes on special occasions such as fiestas.

  3. A Traditional Peruvian Sport and Cultural Cuisine Tlachtli A traditional Peruvian game was Tlachtli was played by the Incas back in the day. This game was played with hoops placed twenty feet in the air and the goal was to try to hit the rubber ball through the hoops. The people who participated in this game could not use their hands, they could only use their thighs, upper arms and hips. Unlike the Aztecs the Incas did not sacrifice the winning team or the losing team. Cultural Cuisine In Idaho some think we are famous for potatoes, but are we? Well, potatoes originated in Peru, after all they have around 4,000 different types of potatoes. So most people would consider Peru the most famous for potatoes. Potatoes are eaten with almost every dish served in Peru. Fishing is also abundant in Peru, because part of their border is along the coast. 500 years ago chicken, pork and lamb were introduced to the Peruvians; now they consume it in almost every meal. Rice is another popular ingredient served in lots of different foods. Yellow hot peppers, red hot peppers and red rocoto peppers are all in most of Peruvian‘s yummy dishes.

Stir in soy sauce and vinegar on sides of wok or pan. Mix everything. Add beef broth and boil. Taste for seasoning. • Turn off the heat, add chopped cilantro and serve at once with french fries and white rice.

  5. Traditional Peruvian Crafts Peru has so many unique crafts and art work in the cities of Lime and Cuzco. Here is just a glimpse of Peru’s amazing artwork. Most painters create pictures of Inca designs; this may be because of the influence the Incas brought to Peru. A majority of these painting colors range from bright orange to red to water blue and earthy brown. You are looking at two beautifully knit hand made alpaca wool sweaters. Peruvians use the soft and fuzzy alpaca wool to hand knit alpaca wool sweaters. The Peruvians then sell these in the markets and to tourists. These sweaters come in handy when you are in the high Andes mountains. These are some samples of Peru’s extraordinary silver and jewelry products. Peru’s jewelry ranges from all shapes and sizes and they are one of a kind.

  6. How To Dress Like Peruvian… How To Dress Like Peruvian Men Once you are in Peru you will need to glance around and look at what the Peruvian men are wearing.
