Day 5~ FTGC 🥔

 



Today we got to enjoy different cultural activities around Lima!!

First, we had a Downtown Lima tour. We went to a popular park called Parque del Amor in Miraflores. The artist was inspired by Guadi Park in Barcelona, Spain.

Next, we went to the main downtown area of Lima. We started at Plaza San Martín and walked to Plaza de Armas de Lima. This is where the Government Palace is, where the President is located. We also saw the Lima Cathedral.

After lunch we had a Peruvian Food Cooking Demonstration Class!!


We learned about 2 popular dishes:

  1. Papa a la huancaína
  2. Causa
I've had both throughout the last 5 days here! Today's sauce for the papa a la huancaína was very cheesy and delicious!! She brought cheese from the highlands.

Used more than half the block of Queso Fresco!! 🧀


It was fun to learn how these 2 dishes were made!!

Then we had a short debrief before we all head to our Host Communities around Perú!!  🛫 🚌

My team will take an hour flight to Jauja, then a 5 hour car ride to Chontabamba (next to Oxapampa) in the Pasco Region of Perú.
