Vicugna (scientific name: Vicugna vicugna) is a large mammal of the Camelidae, Alpaca, and Vicuna genus. It is the national animal of Peru and one of the symbols of the Peruvian nation. Vicuna is a descendant of a branch of camelid animals that entered South America from North America. It is small in size and has no humps. It is distributed in the Andes Mountains and grasslands and semi-desert areas of southern South America. There is only one species and two subspecies in this genus. It is a wild animal, and it is not the same animal as the artificially raised llama glama and Lama pacos and belongs to different genera.
Peruvian culture is mainly derived from Indian and Spanish traditions, but is also influenced by African, Asian and European ethnic groups. The vast majority of Peruvian residents are Catholic. The Kibaro people in Peru regard wizards as gods and respect them with great reverence. Peruvians particularly taboo the word "death". If you curse others with "death", it will definitely lead to a big fight.
Peruvians are accustomed to shaking hands when meeting and bidding farewell to guests on social occasions. When boyfriends meet each other, they usually hug each other and pat each other on the shoulder and back. Peruvian women are accustomed to kissing each other (kissing each other on the cheek) when they meet each other, and their mouths keep making friendly tuts or saying greetings. In any case, flowers can be used as gifts. Peruvians have the characteristics of the Latin nation. They are warm and hospitable. They are best to discount their obedience. They cannot be trusted. Some people are often not punctual.
Peruvian food and dishes are rich and diverse and unique. The Peruvian people were the earliest breeders and consumers of potatoes, and potatoes are still their favorite food to this day. Peruvian people, who have unique cooking skills, can use potatoes as the main raw material to make hundreds of cakes and delicacies with different flavors. On the table where they entertain guests, there are always a few horse-shaped potato-flavored dishes made by boiling, frying, roasting and roasting methods.
Peruvian cuisine can be roughly divided into two major categories: the coastal area represented by Lima is mainly spicy, with the main ingredients being fish, seafood, chicken and potatoes. Most of the methods are cold salad, steamed and roasted; famous dishes include raw fish "Ceviche"), roasted spicy beef heart or fish nuggets "Anticucho"), etc. Mountain dishes represented by Cusco are mainly sweet, with beef, mutton and potatoes as the main ingredients, and are mainly stewed, stewed and fried. Famous dishes include "sancochado" stewed with beef, sweet potatoes and plantains;"chuo" chuo) fried with dry potatoes; and "chupe" chupe ", a sweet and salty shrimp vegetable soup). Traditional drinks in Peru are Chicha and Pisco, which are brewed from corn and grapes respectively. Generally speaking, mountain Indians like to drink Chicha, and coastal city residents like to drink Pisco. Pisco wine is native to the Pisco region of Peru. It is made from grape juice and distilled.
The Inca Indians in Peru hold regular exorcism festivals in September every year. Because September is the rainy season. Plague is prone to epidemic. In order to get rid of the disease, on the first day of the full moon after the autumnal equinox, all people must fast. At night, families gather to bake a tortilla mixed with children's blood. After taking a bath, people use this cake to wipe their heads, faces, chest, shoulders and legs, believing that it can eliminate pain. Then use this cake to wipe the threshold again to prove that the whole family has fasted and purified.
Peruvians avoid "December" and "Friday". I think these are all unlucky numbers and dates, and encounter them will surely lead to great disaster. They hate crows. They believe that crows are an ominous bird, giving people the impression of bad luck and disaster. They taboo giving swords as gifts. Think that giving these things means cutting off the friendship. They avoid oddly shaped foods such as sea cucumbers in their diet.
Horse racing has a long history in Peru and was once one of the mass sports and recreational activities.
