CHRONIC: A spectacular safari in the jungle of Iquitos - Perú

Iquitos is not just the endless nights of festival where one can walk into a disco club indefinitely. It is not only a picturesque city where one can find buildings that tell the story of the rubber boom of the early twentieth century. It is not just to walk to see the iron house designed by Gustave Eiffel or the Plaza Hotel, now occupied by the military and soon to be shown off to accommodate tourists again. Travel to Iquitos is to recover that contact with nature that we have lost.We boarded a boat in 45 minutes takes us to the Amazon Sinchikuy Lodge, which will be our starting point for the search you do in the jungle Loreto. This is not a hunt, do not think evil is the pursuit of animals that normally would not see. And we have to learn to see.

PINK DOLPHIN SEARCHF rom the lodge we made a 15 minute ride to an area presumed to be full of pink dolphins. It is difficult to see especially when the river is falling and in this time of year, so you need to have a good eye and wait patiently for about an hour and a half, but the spectacle of seeing them move gracefully on the water worthwhile.The pattern is repeated throughout the forest.

It is not just to go, camera in hand, ready to shoot at the first hint of movement. In the jungle everything moves, everything sounds. On a morning tour to view birds, from carpenters to yellow breasts locals call "Victor Diaz" by the sound of their singing is clear: they move away from predators such as humans.

We must be ready to fire the camera at the first sign of their presence.The experience of seeking animals in their natural habitat is spectacular. But plants also find: a walk through a swamp takes us to see a copy of Ceiba must be like 500 years. These specimens are so great that, sometimes, inside, there are colonies of bats. In other trees, while we can see termite nests that are occupied by birds.THE SHELTER NeicerInterestingly we have seen few mammals: perhaps a few monkeys and a sloth that was carrying a girl in one of the villages through which we passed. But to appease our curiosity animal is the animal shelter Néicer Bustamante Ruiz, a resident who decided one day to shelter the animals that are seized by the authorities.Néicer is a type of soft-spoken and distracted gaze was associated with INRENA to provide shelter, so far, 18 animals, including primates, birds, turtles and an anaconda, which protects the last three years. In the hostel one can have direct contact with these animals and feel the 'tender' embrace of the queen of serpents.HAVE A SON, WRITE A BOOKThe experience of living in the jungle culminates in the territory of the native community of Nuevo Peru, ethnic yawa: land that has been deforested and that tourists should approach planting a tree.I planted a red cedar in the middle of a forest that is ready to receive the title of Natural Wonder. I need to have a child and write a book. Perhaps the book has some of the scenes I've seen in these three days I met a jungle that does not give up despite the fury of floods.*

"PromPerú" http://elcomercio.pe/tag/775/promperu campaign is offering tour packages to encourage visits to the Amazon. You can find more information HERE.You can find more information about this destination Let's edition this week

OPINANDO SOBRE LA RED Y SU INFORMACIÓN

Más información, menos conocimiento
(Mario VArgas Llosa, publicado en la columna del domingo del diario La República)

La sopresa y reconocimiento del problema es lo que llega a mi mente al terminar de leer esta columna, de lo leído me quedo con esta parte:

"Van Nimwegen, dedujo luego de uno de sus experimentos: que confiar a los ordenadores la solución de todos los problemas cognitivos reduce “la capacidad de nuestros cerebros para construir estructuras estables de conocimientos”. En otras palabras: cuanto más inteligente sea nuestro ordenador, más tontos seremos.".

Totalmente de acuerdo, mientras menos desarrollemos nuestra capacidad lectora, y de imaginación añadiría yo, más a merced de la web estaremos. Estaremos obligados a aceptar sus cambios, sus ventajas y defectos, no podremos luchar contra ello pues nuestra habilidad inicial habrá quedado en el olvido gracias a la rapidez con la que se presente esta Inteligencia Artificial como la llama el autor que cita Vargas Llosa.

Cuantós de nosotros nos encontramos ahora leyendo sintaxis o resumenes de obras o simplemente buscando en wikipedia un rápido y facil de recordar concepto sobre un tema a tratar, un trabajo de colegio o un ensayo en la universidad. Ya en nuestras mentes no cabe la posibilidad de leer un libro puesto que se nos ha sembrado la idea y necesidad, con el slogan de "que en estos años el tiempo es dinero".

Busquemos tratar de no perder nuestra base, nuestro cimento cultural, de educación, el leer, comprender e interpretar pero en base a un buen libro, como dice el profe, generemos ideas, generemos textos, basta de copia y pegar. Haz el esfuerzo.

EATING IN PERÚ: The favorite Peruvian dishes for tourist

Here I leave a long report on Peruvian food, and most foreigners like to come to know more about our culture and cuisine ... I regret that the note is so long, but is that about Peruvian food can write books and thousands of books

According to the connoisseurs, the Peruvian Cuisine is the best of Latin America, alongside the French and the Chinese cuisines. It is not only known for its exquisite taste, but also for its variety.

The culinary history of Peru goes back to the Pre-Inca and Inca times with original products such as the potato and corn, which constitute great contributions to the World.
Recent opinions of experts in the culinary art, corroborate the excellence of our cuisine. Patrick Martin, Academic Director of the famous gastronomic School: Le Cordon Blue of Paris, France, recently visited one of its branches in Lima. He was quoted as saying: "one of the reasons why we have a school here is the excellent quality of the Peruvian cuisine, which I love". Let's hear more opinions:
"... In this land where ceviche was invented, this was the best I'd ever had-the beginning of a sublime week of dining...". Gary Lee from the Washington Post, describing his recent trip to Peru.

"... Peruvian cuisine is incredibly varied and accomplished, for many travelers an exciting and delicious surprise. It is among the best and most diverse cuisines found in Latin America...". Neil E. Schlecht. Frommer's Guide of Peru.
"... Peruvian cuisine is exceptionally good and surpringly unknown. Food lovers visiting for the first time are in for a wonderful surprise...". Peru's Lonely Planet. 2004 Edition.

Jonathan M. Leonard, author of the well known book: Latin American Cooking of Time-Life, also says that the peruvian cuisine is the best of Latin America.
Conde Nast Traveler (April 2003) says: No country in South America cooks like Peru and Lima is the gastronomic heart.

The renowned magazine Gourmet (august 2006) in an article of eleven pages talks about the delicious and varied Peruvian cousine. The best known chef of the country, Gaston Acurio is quoted as saying: in another 10 years, Lima will be like Paris, people will come here to eat.
Finally, TIME (October 12, 2009) says that the restaurants in Lima have help turn the capital into a legitimate destination for gourmets. The same article mentions that with the aperture of differents Peruvian restaurants in different countries, the people in these countries are appreciating the delicious Peruvian cousine.

We don't have any doubt, you will agree with these and many others connoisseurs, once you taste the mouth-watering peruvian dishes.

Recipes such as cebiche (raw fish marinated in lemon juice), pachamanca (meat and vegetables cooked underground), chupe de camarones (shrimp soup), ají de gallina (spicy chicken) and juane (cornmash pastries) are just a few of the mouth-watering dishes served in Peru are due to two reasons. The quality and variety of dishes in Peru due to two reasons.
The first is Peru's ecological and climatic diversity which has given rise to a major supply of fresh produce that satisfy not only the housewife but also the most demanding chef.

The rich Peruvian fishing grounds abound in fish and shellfish species. The heart of the succulent coastal gastronomy such as rice, fowl and goat are the key ingredients of Peru's north coastal cooking. In the Andes, meanwhile ingredients such as the potato and sweetcorn in all its varieties along with cuy (guinea pig) and aji chili pepper are the basis of highland cooking. The jungle adds its own touch with wild game and a side serving of fried banana and manioc root. Local fruit varieties such as chirimoya (custard apple) and lucuma produce incomparable deserts.

The second reason is the rich mix of Western and Easter cultural traditions. Over the course of centuries, Peru has felt the influence os Spain in its stews and soups, Arab sweets and desserts, African contributions to Creole cooking, Italian pastas, Japanese preparations of fish and shellfish and Chinese culinary methods, which have given birth to one of the most popular gastronomic tradition in Peru: chifa. The originality of Peru's cuisine stems not just from its traditional cooking, but it also continues to incorporate new influences, preparing exquisite and impeccable dishes that have been dubbed the New Peruvian Cuisine.

TIP: I recommend eating at the central markets of the cities they visit, because in these places reveal it s food source in total, and our famous rstaurantes is a merger that is normal at this time ... ENJOY

The three pillars

Tourism

Tourists choose Peru because they already know something about the country and they know what they want. It isn't possible for a person simply to stumble onto the country by accident. These travelers have special interests, concerns, passions, and desires, which become the four cardinal points of the compass that will guide them in their journey through Peru.

That is why everyone coming to Peru plans their own personalized tour for investigating, discovering, cultivating, and living new experiences based on their special interests, be it history, archeology, food, music, horses, surfing, whatever, which have led them to this country. Peru proposes who will visit and discover it and be discovered and who will transform it and be transformed. Its people and places, flavors and colors, sights and sounds are the means to the discovery and the elements for transformation. The Peru experience is as special as the people who decide to engage in it. What is more, while travelers nourish and satisfy their interests, concerns, passions, and desires, they will begin to sense the awakening of new ones because Peru is such that all visitors will soon discover they have just scratched its surface and will feel the need to come back to dig deeper and to experience more. 

Peruvians grow organic, gourmet coffee that is the fruit of their profound knowledge, love, and concern for the land.

The world is only now discovering the "sacha inchi", while it has been used here since time immemorial, which is also the case for the lucuma and many other natural, handmade, and industrial products Peru offers.
