Teach English In Peru

Living and Teaching English in Peru - Habits, Customs & Curiosities ---- The Essential Travel Guide to Peru When traveling to Peru, make sure that your passport is valid and that you have a valid visa (for some countries). It is also recommended to get vaccinations against typhoid, malaria and yellow fever. The official language in Peru is Spanish and the local currency is called Peruvian nuevo sol. When in Peru, you absolutely must see the ancient Nazca Lines, quench your thirst with a Pisco sour and climb Machu Picchu. Don’t forget to take a selfie with alpacas and see the rare red beach at the Paracas National Reserve.

The trail takes anywhere from 2 to 7 days depending on which other means of transportation you’d like to use. The Lares Trek is another popular Inca trail that starts from the small town of Lares, leads through Lares Valley and ends in Ollantaytambo.

Even though it’s often referred to as a single language, there are actually 3 major dialects: Ecuador Quechua (Ecuador and Peru), Central Quechua (northern Peru) and Southern Quechua (Peru, Bolivia and Argentina). While we know very little about the origins of the language, it is known that the ancient Incas adopted Quechua and spread it throughout their kingdom. Quechua words like ‘llama’ and ‘condor’ have made their way into the English language. SOURCE: http://www.mapsofworld.com/infographics/languages/infographic-of-quechua.html XzpBk9764K4
