We will also visit the monumental SAN FRANCISCO CONVENT, which displays the largest collection of religious art in the Americas. Our highlight will be the visit of the underground vaults, known as “Catacumbas” or Catacombs. CASA ALIAGA: Casa de Aliaga, or the Aliaga residence, is a fascinating home and museum located in the Center of Lima. Jerónimo de Aliaga was one of Francisco Pizarro's most trusted lieutenants during the exploration and conquest of Peru, and he was rewarded in 1535 with an Indian temple, which he converted into a home. The home has since remained in the Aliaga family for an astonishing seventeen generations. Today it is a restored colonial home, but in spite of this, the original stonework is still visible in some places. It features a series of rooms that represent life in Lima during the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. CONTEMPORARY LIMA: We will visit traditional residential areas of Lima, such as El Olivar of San Isidro and Miraflores. ANCESTRAL LIMA: We finally end our tour with a panoramic view of the “Pucllana Pyramid,” a magnificent ceremonial and archeological center built in the 4th century A.D. and is considered a “Sacred Village” by the Incas. 1 MUSEUM DAY Tuesday, 26 February 2013 LIMA 9:45 AM Gather in the Swissotel lobby near the front entrance 10:00 AM Depart Swissotel by bus going to Larco Herrera 10:30 AM Arrive to Larco Herrera Museum 10:45 AM Tour Exhibits at Larco Herrera 12:00 PM Enjoy lunch in Café del Museo Restaurant (which is located in Larco Herrera Musem) 1:30 PM Depart Larco Herrera going to the Indio’s Market 2:00 PM Arrive to Indio’s Market 3:30 PM Depart market going to Swissotel 4:00 PM Arrive back to Swissotel The Larco Museum (Spanish: Museo Arqueológico Rafael Larco Herrera) is a privately owned museum of pre-Columbian art, located in the Pueblo Libre District of Lima, Peru. The museum is housed in an 18th century vice-royal mansion built over a 7th century pre-Columbian pyramid. It showcases chronological galleries that provide a thorough overview of 4,000 years of Peruvian pre-Columbian history. It boasts one of the world's largest collections of pre- Columbian art including Moche, Nazca, Chimú, and Inca pieces. Additionally, the Larco Museum is well known for its gallery of pre-Columbian erotic pottery. For Your Information Weather in Lima The seasons in Lima are very easy to describe, as the city only has two notable weather conditions: Summer from December to April and winter from May to November. Summer in Lima By the end of November or the beginning of December, the mist and persistent clouds lighten, humidity lowers and temperatures increase. Day by day Limeños experience less overcast days and it seems Lima slowly awakes from a deep slumber. Finally, around Christmas, summer arrives in the capital of Peru. Besides some quickly passing early morning fog, it is warm and sunny, normally never too hot, but still humid. Temperatures reach a very pleasant 28 °C (82 °F) by day and 18 °C (64 °F) by night. By April summer comes to an end and winter is almost around the corner. Attire Casual attire and comfortable footwear are strongly suggested. Walking footwear is highly suggested as a great amount of walking will be on un-even, rough surfaces. Updated 2/11/13 2 .

In spite of this they often pursue differing interests and do not find consensus. Argentinian President Cristina Kirchner presents herself as a modern independ- ence fighter who wants to liberate the country from the U.S. and Europe. This type of Latin Americanisation in Argentina has placed considerable strain on regional Dr. Kristin Wesemann cooperation. is Resident Represen­ tative of the Konrad- Adenauer-Stiftung in A SECOND LIBERATION MOVEMENT? Argentina. Kirchner’s official residence, Casa Rosada, now holds a “Salón de los Pueblos Originarios”, a Hall of Native Peoples. It is not brand new; until early 2013 it was still called “Salón Cristóbal Colón”. But the man who discovered America no longer has any clout with Cristina Kirchner. Hugo Chávez, the late head of state of Venezuela, is said to have once asked her why Argentina continues to pay homage to “this mass murderer”.1 This is likely to be one reason for the sailor’s recent exile from the palace. Chávez sometimes served as the President’s spiritus rector.

  • Explaining the Turmoil of the Peruvian Democracy
    > Corruption, Congress and COVID: Explaining the turmoil of the Peruvian democracy Hippolyte Cailleteau Master en science politique, spécialisation Relations internationales Sciences Po Décembre 2020 Shifting back to democracy in 2000, the Peruvian political success amazed many observers. Free and fair elections took place regularly, with political alternation. The country's Growth National Income tripled over 15 years, between 2000 and 2015. Overall, the country triumphantly managed to go through the first fifteen years of the 21st century and appeared to have made its way towards a durable and liberal transition. The November 2020’s events depict a diametrically opposed situation; the Andean nation has known no less that three presidents in the span of a week. In the month of December 2020, the situation has become increasingly tenser, with massive demonstrations taking place in Lima, overtly opposing Congress-led destitution of President Martin Vizcarra. Journalists even labelled it "the worst crisis the South American nation has faced since the downfall of authoritarian President Alberto Fujimori", as two young adults died of police assault while demonstrating. How can a country which has been praised for its transition get to this point? Enduring corruption at the helm of the State Accusations of corruption are hardly a new phenomenon in Peru. All of the 21st century-elected presidents were either put on trial or even convicted of these charges. Three of them are currently still entangled in the corruption scandal involving the Brazilian Odebrecht construction company. This is what eventually led President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (PPK) to resign, in order to avoid a shameful impeachment trial, and leave the way to his vice president.

  • Whatever Became Of" the Pursuit of Happiness"? the US Press And
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 095 575 CS 201 537 AUTHOR Knudson, Jerry TITLE Whatever Became of "The Pursuit of Happiness "? The U.S. Press and Social Revolution in Latin America. PUB DATE Aug 74 NOTE 26p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Education in Journalism (57th, San Diego, California, August 18-21, 1974) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.75 HC-$1.85 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS Civil Rights; Communications; *Journalism; *Media Research; *News Reporting; *Press Opinion; *Revolution; World Affairs IDENTIFIERS *Latin America ABSTRACT This paper examines treatment by the U.S. press of the Mexican, Cuban, and Chilean revolutions from a historical perspective, both using original research and synthesizing the research of others. On balance, the U.S. media have reported or commented on Latin American social revolutions mainly by exploiting sensation and ridicule. Economic interests probably predispose the U.S. press toward a conservative stance. Perhaps more significant, however, is the cultural conception of individual reportem and editors that the U.S. political system of representative democracy is inextricably bound up with the economic system of private ownership of property. Most U.S. reporters have a difficult time covering social revolution simply because it is alien to their experience. They tend to regard the world as a giant police court where property rights take precedence over human rights. (Author/TO) U S DEPARTMENT OF HEAL TN. EDUCATION& WFLFARE NATIONAL.

  • The Highlights of Peru September 2 – 14, 2021
    The Highlights of Peru Machu Picchu – Cuzco -Amazon forest – Lake Titicaca C September 2 – 14, 2021 Cuzco ● Machu Picchu ● Sacred Valley ● Temple of the Sun ● Sacsayhuaman ● Lake Titicaca ● Floating Islands of the Urus Indians ● Lima ● Ollantaytambo ● Pisaq ● Andahuaylillas ● Koricancha Temple ● Raqchi ● Wiracocha Temple (“God the Creator” temple) ____________________________________________________________________________ This Columbus Travel tour is a unique experience. In addition to visits to expected sites, such as Cuzco and Machu Picchu, our tour will take us to off-the-beaten track places, and immerse ourselves in the world of the Incas. We visit historic cultural sites, temples and archaeological remains that see few outsiders. We visit UNESCO World heritage sites, such us the Church of San Pedro Apostle, called the Sistine Chapel of South America for its paintings that cover the ceilings, then on to Raqchi and Temple of Wiracocha, a site rarely seen by foreign visitors. Wiracocha, “God the Creator”, was the white deity to the Inca natives. This massive temple was built to honor their God of Creation. Nearby Raqchi, the temple is one of the largest Inca archaeological sites in the valley. We continue to Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world and the floating islands of the Urus Indians. Of course, no journey to the empire of the Incas would be complete without a visit to Cuzco and Machu Picchu. Cuzco is nestled high in the Andes Mountains. It is a UNESCO World heritage site. It was the former capital of the Inca Empire Cuzco still retains its indigenous and colonial heritage and architecture. Machu Picchu, the ancient Inca citadel, boasts more than 150 buildings and sits above the Urubamba River valley.
