Alpaca
The Peruvian Andes are the natural habitat of an exceptional range of flora and fauna, with many species gaining increasing importance across a number of major industries within the country. One of these is the Peruvian alpaca, an animal with fine wool that has become one of the most prized fibers within the global fashion industry.
Cotton
Peru’s geography and climate have made it the perfect place for the production of a type of cotton much in demand across the global textile industry. Peruvian cotton’s long and soft fibers allow for the production of highly durable and extremely uniform textiles, ideal for premium quality garments and admired throughout the world.
Coffee
In Peru coffee is one of the two most important agricultural export products –together with asparagus- and it accounts for half of all the nation’s farming exports. On the international market, Peruvian coffee has gained an excellent reputation.
Peruvian Paso Horses
The Peruvian Paso Horse is one of the world’s most exquisite equine breeds, renowned for its smooth ambling gait and harmonious proportions. What makes this breed different from other horses is its extraordinarily fine and elegant four-beat lateral trot, which it achieves by raising its front and rear hoofs in a diagonal pattern. Thanks to its horizontal equilibrium, riding a Peruvian Paso Horse is a delightful experience, and witnessing the horse’s gait is a true spectacle.
Gastronomy and Pisco
The geographical range and the different climate zones produced by Peru’s vertical topography have led to the creation and development of an enormously rich gastronomic tradition which can be traced back thousands of years. This tradition has been enriched by successive waves of migrants from four continents. Today, Peruvian cooking is a melting pot of traditions and fusions, employing the finest techniques of global haute cuisine.
And, as if that were not enough, Peruvian gastronomy also has the good fortune to be blessed with an exceptional beverage: traditional pisco. Considered Peru’s national drink, pisco is a white grape brandy and the essential accompaniment to Peruvian food.
