FIFA's Football World Cup, South Africa 2010; the first World Cup in the African continent will be the biggest televised event in world history .
Here is part 2 in Castelliano (Castillian Spanish) of this impressive video called "El Pisco Patrimonio Cultural Del Peru - Parte 2" (Peru's Pisco Cultural Heritage).
There is a short interview with restaurateur, Peruvian media mogul, publisher, hotelier, and #1 Latin American celebrity chef Gaston Acurio in Lima, Peru. Gaston is the owner of the five star Astrid y Gaston, La Mar Cebicheria Peruana, Tanta, and other top Peruvian brand restaurants. He currently owns 40+ upscale Peruvian restaurants around the world. He also owns the Mistura Peruvian Cuisine Expo, the largest cuisine expo in all Latin America.
Also in the video is Pedro Schiaffino, one of Peru's top young chefs and the owner ofMalabar in San Isidro, Peru. According to this month's Food & Wine Magazine here in the United States, Malabar is the 4th best lounge & bar in the world!
According to Food & Wine Magazine - "the Peruvian Pisco Sour is the most elegant of Latin American drinks. Far superior and more refined than the Cuban Mojito, the Brazilian Caipirinha, and the Californian Margarita. Pisco Sour made with Pisco Peruano and the Limon Peruano, the best lime in the world, has no rival."
The one and only "Coca Sour Peruano" - the mind boggling & sheer ecstasy inducing drink from the ancient Incas the Peruvian Coca Sour made of coca leaves (the raw leaves that is used to make cocaine)!!! This is pure coca leaves not extract or coca infused Pisco.
Picture of the truly unique "Coca Pisco Peruano" at an upscale restaurant in Miraflores, Peru. This drink is illegal in the Unites States and in most countries around the world. But in San Francisco I know a top Peruvian restaurant that serves a Coca infused Pisco Sour! It is much diluted, so it not the same thing. But it is the closes thing you can get to being in Peru.

ever seen, even in Spain. It occupies an entire block, with the width
of four streets on one side and four streets on the other, and with all
four sides it measures more than two thousand feet; it is very flat..."

Today is the 188th Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Peru from Spain! But it has over 10,000 years of scientifically verified history. The domestication of the potato in Peru has
been verified by European and American scientists to be 8,000 years
before Christ! From Alaska, USA to Tierra de Fuego, Argentina, Peru is the oldest civilization in all the Americas. In northern Peru, Caral has been verified by European scientists to be over 2,000 years older than the oldest Mayan civilization in Guatemala and Southern Mexico.
In Latin America, Peru has no rival when it comes its archaeological, biological, historical, religious (Catholicism) and culture influence (especially in South America). When it comes to its historical alliance to Spain, theViceroyalty of Peru or Viceroyalty of New Castile (el Virreinato del Peru o el Virreinato de Nuevo Castilla) was the largest, richest, and most powerful viceroyalty of the Spanish Empire from the 15th, 16th, and 17th century. Lima, Peru was capital of practically all of South America, including Brazil! In world significance, Peru's ancient civilizations are as old as Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq), Egypt, China, and India.
On a global scale, Peru is by far the most biologically diverse country in the world with the most animals, fishes, incests, birds, and plant species in the Peruvian Amazon (lowland & highland jungles), tropical Andes, Andean glaciers, and coastal deserts.
Here, in high-definition (HD), is the national anthem of Peru with spectacular scenery of present day Peru. The anthem is not well known like the U.S., French, or English one; but if you hear it to its entirety you will come to the conclusion that it has to be among the most beautiful anthems.
Listen to the instrumental version in the 1st-half and then listen in the 2nd-half to the vocal version by Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez, argumentatively the best tenor in the world today and heir to Spanish great Placido Domingo.
