 * History-** Some history of Peru is the Inca Empire and it was from 1438-1532 and it originated a tribe based on Cuzco. One thing the Incas built was Machu Pikchu which was Quechua for "old peak" and was sometimes called The Lost City of the Incas. It is a pre-Colombian Inca ruin located on a mountain ridge above the Urubumba Valley.


 * Thesis-** I believe that we should keep Hispanic Heritage alive because it is our ethnicity and it also brought forth of our foods, languages, dances, music and festivals that are all included in the Spanish heritage.

 * Foods-** One famous food in Peru is Ceviche and it is basically raw fish sprinkled with lemon and it is spiced red onion and aji pepper and it is served with either sweet potato or white corn from the Andes mountain. Another food is Causa and that is 3 layers of potato stacked one another ingredient and it would be either tuna, or sometimes chicken. Mayonnaise is spread on the 1st layer and usually has a hard boiled egg. The last one is Lucma and this is a fruit thatlooks like a mango but has a custardy taste akin to maple syrup.
