Izaga 740 Of. 207 - Chiclayo www.chaskiventura.com T: 51+ 84 233952 T: 51 +74 221282 CONCEPT The circuit that we offer as the four sides of the Inca Empire invites you to discover the reality of the 6 oldest civilizations of humanity, with a fully endogenous and autonomous development. When the conquerors came to the country they called Peru, they found a confederation of about 200 kingdoms, brought together by the Inca people, or "ENQA" (in Quechua, they had the strength power or energy). It was built in about 170 years, and the last people were invaded by the Incas only 60 years before the Spaniards came, that´s why for many local lords, the Spanish conquest was a chance to be released from this supervision, because the nation, the Tawantinsuyo nation or Land of the Four Regions, lacked unity. This country went from Pasto (Colombia) to Mendoza (Argentina) with a road network of more than 12,000 km. Peru, Colombia, Bolivia and Ecuador are 4 of the 12 mega diverse countries in the world, and Peru is, by far, the most diverse country of all, with more than 10% of the planet's biodiversity. Crossing the South of the Inca empire, we offer you to discover the essence and history of a unique civilization, of which the Inca culture was only the last heir; as well as a mega diverse country with one of the richest seas and the driest deserts, where the sky becomes confused with the horizon, beautiful Andean valleys and the high jungle.

Night in your hotel in Lima Day 2: LIMA PREHISPANIC Breakfast Visit of the complex of Pachacamac: It is one of the greatest archaeological and important sites in Peru, and in his time, was the huaca (oracle) most consulted of the Andean world, leaving a deep print until today. It is a large architectural complex with many buildings that were built in different periods, from the early years of our era to the sixteenth century. As a "creator of the world" and people, plants, animals and everything in the world, Pachacamac is related with several elements of nature, like water, and other phenomena such as earthquakes, which are common in the Pacific coast of Peru. However, far from being the one who protects people from earthquakes, he was the one causing them and people had to thank him and give him offerings not to send this scourge. Lunch buffet of Peruvian Gastronomy, in the restaurant Puro Peru. The Peruvian Gastronomy is under the influence of the native and gastronomy (Spanish, French, Italian), African (western coast) and Asiatic (China, Japan).

Its importance lies in the vast and varied cultural heritage that its showrooms and warehouses contain. Ceramics, textiles, metals, organic and lithic material related to human remains preserved with invaluable skills that surprise even the experts, making the legacy of our pre-Hispanic past.

Huge drawings which can only be seen from the sky. These drawings represent different insects and animals, such as the Monkey, Colibri, Condor, Lizard, Spider, Whale, but also the tree, the hands, the Astronaut and a number of lines which cross all the plain of Nazca. Yet we don’t known for certain how they were made. According to one theory, scientists think that the lines are a Great Astronomical Calendar representing the constellations. The pilot of the plane will give us a brief explanation. Visit of the complex of Cahuachi Cahuachi is one of the biggest complexes of pyramids and places built during the pre Hispanic period. It has a surface of 24km². It was the capital of the political and religious power of the governors of the culture of Nazca which organized the population of the valleys from Ica to Acari for the construction of huge works like Cahuachi or the well known lines of Nazca. The place chosen for Cahuachi by the antiques Nazca is strategic. They built the city on arid hills, closet the valley and cultivates areas, and the river who gives water, all year long, unusual characteristic of the rivers of the Peruvian coast.

There, they could provide themselves of abundant alpaca and vicuna wool that they used to make the prodigious and wove fine textiles, gaining everybody’s admiration, including ours today. The pyramids of Cahuachi were built one close to the other leant on small hills following the bank of the valley and the desert. In total, the constructions are scattered within an area of 24km2. In all the valley of Nazca, Cahuachi is the only known example of monumental architecture for the period in which they were used: 200 BC. to 450 AC. Broadly, the architectural planning of the pyramids is an overlapping platform base (pyramid) that serves as support for places, courtyards, corridors, stairways, ramps and rooms, guiding visitors on a route that goes from the outside to the inside, from the bottom to the top and from the public (open) to the private (restricted). Lunch Visit of the Aquaducts of Cantalloc About 2000 years ago, the people of Nazca developed a system of underground aqueducts to irrigate the dry parts of the valley that had no surface water.

  • Exploring How Things Take Shape Research Notes on Ethnography, Empirical Sensibility and the Baroque State
    Exploring How Things Take Shape Research Notes on Ethnography, Empirical Sensibility and the Baroque State. Penny Harvey - University of Manchester The Historical Baroque in Contemporary Peru - Illusion and Enthrallment The main square of Cusco was unusually busy and more unusual still the huge doors of the Cathedral were open, people pouring out from what must have been an important mass. Taking advantage of a rare opportunity to visit this building outside of the normal restrictions imposed by the tourist trade, I ducked in through a side entrance just as the main doors were slammed shut again. It was years since I‟d been inside and I‟d forgotten the sheer scale and intricacy of the space. The Cathedral over-awes as intended. Throughout the Continent these huge, ambitious spaces were of central importance in marking Spanish presence, in imposing Catholicism, in erasing the presence and influence of previous Gods and divine rulers, and paradoxically in offering people some kind of solace. This Cathedral was no exception. To build it the Spanish had destroyed an Inka palace/ceremonial site which nevertheless provided the foundations for the new building. They also brought stone from the fortress of Sacsayhuaman subjugating the very fabric of the Inka imperial capital in its public conversion to Catholicism. Construction had begun in 1560 but was not completed until 1664. The building itself presents the non-coherence of architectural style that is characteristic of many of these mega projects that took over a century to be finalised. In this case the Renaissance facade constrasts with the interior, funished over a century later, by then exemplifying the colonial Baroque with its intricate gold and silver altars, carved stone work and the world famous collection of paintings of what became known as the Cusco school.

    NEGOTIATING EVANGELICALISM AND NEW AGE TOURISM THROUGH QUECHUA ONTOLOGIES IN CUZCO, PERU by Guillermo Salas Carreño A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Bruce Mannheim, Chair Professor Judith T. Irvine Professor Paul C. Johnson Professor Webb Keane Professor Marisol de la Cadena, University of California Davis © Guillermo Salas Carreño All rights reserved 2012 To Stéphanie ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation was able to arrive to its final shape thanks to the support of many throughout its development. First of all I would like to thank the people of the community of Hapu (Paucartambo, Cuzco) who allowed me to stay at their community, participate in their daily life and in their festivities. Many thanks also to those who showed notable patience as well as engagement with a visitor who asked strange and absurd questions in a far from perfect Quechua. Because of the University of Michigan’s Institutional Review Board’s regulations I find myself unable to fully disclose their names. Given their public position of authority that allows me to mention them directly, I deeply thank the directive board of the community through its then president Francisco Apasa and the vice president José Machacca. Beyond the authorities, I particularly want to thank my compadres don Luis and doña Martina, Fabian and Viviana, José and María, Tomas and Florencia, and Francisco and Epifania for the many hours spent in their homes and their fields, sharing their food and daily tasks, and for their kindness in guiding me in Hapu, allowing me to participate in their daily life and answering my many questions.

Ferrocarriles en el Perú: ¿Qué tan importantes fueron? Luis Felipe Zegarra* Abstract This paper analyzes the evolution and main features of the railway system of Peru in the 19th and early 20th centuries. From mid-19th century railroads were considered a promise for achieving progress. Several railroads were then built in Peru, especially in 1850-75 and in 1910-30. With the construction of railroads, Peruvians saved time in travelling and carrying freight. The faster service of railroads did not necessarily come at the cost of higher passenger fares and freight rates. Fares and rates were lower for railroads than for mules, especially for long distances. However, for some routes (especially for short distances with many curves), the traditional system of llamas remained as the lowest pecuniary cost (but also slowest) mode of transportation. Key words: Transportation, railroads, Peru, Latin America. JEL classification: N70, N76, R40. * Luis Felipe Zegarra is PhD in Economics of University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

    1 UNDERGRADUATE SEMINAR ANT 3164-7927/ANG 5164-06DA LIMITED ENROLLMENT Spring 2015 By Instructor’s Permission Prof. Michael Moseley Thursday Periods 6-8 Turlington B352 (12:50 - 3:55 pm) [email protected] Turlington (TUR) Room 1208 Course website: http://lss.at.ufl.edu THE INCA AND THEIR ANCESTORS: ADAPTATIONS IN ANDEAN SOUTH AMERICA Drawing from ethnological, historical, and archaeological sources, this seminar explores human adjustments to extreme ecological conditions. Embracing the towering Andean Mountains, the parched Atacama Desert, and the Amazon jungle fringes, the Inca Imperium was the largest empire of antiquity ever to arise south of the equator or in the Western Hemisphere. It synthesized unique adaptations to acute environmental conditions that had precedents in earlier societies and states of the Cordillera. Many of these adjustments continue to sustain the hemisphere’s largest Native American populations. Consequently, ethnographies and ethnohistories of indigenous people capture fascinating cultural institutions that shaped the archaeological past. The seminar will explore both the successes of Andean people and the failures of human development induced by natural disasters. CLASS STRUCTURE In addition to opening presentations, weekly classes will have student commentary and discussion of assigned readings. There will be oral assessments of how the readings articulate with seminar topics. Drawing upon the readings, each participant will bring to class a ~2 page short synopsis of questions and issues for discussion. The weekly briefs are important because they will guide the seminar’s considerations. They will be graded as will oral participation. Attendance is required. WEEKLY READINGS Seminar participants will be assigned weekly reading that form core discussion issues.
