Finding Peru in the American Heartland

When someone thinks of the rich culture and history of Peru, one would never have Nebraska cross their mind. However, we have come across a video highlighting the town of Peru, Nebraska and a group of Peruvians from La Marca Peru coming to help them celebrate its namesake by immersing the town with rich Peruvian traditions, Clothing, and food. I was glad to see that they didn't chow down on a Cuy (Guinea Pig) Barbecue, which may have scared the locals. I would have loved to see some Cusquena Cerveca being sampled. Good Stuff!

La Marca Peru is essentially an organization seeking to build the country of Peru as a brand, to promote tourism through demonstrating what Peru has to offer visitors. Peru can definitely be overlooked when vying for attention from other South American Countries with renown capital cities like Buenos Aires or Santiago. This great country has much to offer in terms of their indigenous culture, but there are wide reaching reasons to visit Peru in terms of modern cities, a world wonder with Machu Picchu, amazing food, and much more.
