  7. LIMA • Lima is the capital of Peru

  8. FOOTBALL • Peru’s top sport is football (soccer)

  9. Celebrations • On these days, which are dedicated to the memory of the dead, Peruvians tend to attend Mass and then in coastal communities, head to the cemetery, bringing flowers and in the highlands, food to share symbolically with the souls of the dead...

  10. Food • Nothing beats a flaky, hot, freshly baked empanada, except maybe eating the next one at room temperature, or having a cold one the next day for lunch. Empanadas are delicious no matter how you serve them, and they can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner, appetizer or snack. The key to a great empanada is to have a really delicious dough. Then you can fill it with just about anything you like. This is a traditional chicken filling, with caramelized onions, olives, and pieces of hard boiled egg. For best flavor, make the filling the day before and chill it overnight in the refrigerator.
