LHAMA OU LAMA - Animal Símbolo do Peru.

As lhamas vivem na América do Sul, mais precisamente na Cordilheira dos Andes, onde as temperaturas são muito baixas. Elas medem até 2,40cm e podem pesar até 150 Kg. Algumas raças são criadas para fins estéticos e de companhia, cujo comportamento se assemelha a cães da raça poodles. A lhama é conhecida pelo seu estilo calmo, andar devagar... mas cuidado! Irrita-se facilmente. Pelo seu comportamento imprevisível, a lhama foi considerada o oitavo animal mais irritável do mundo! Quando irritada, espirra seu muco na direção do objeto de sua irritação. A lhama é um animal domesticado para a utilização no transporte de carga, produção de lã, carne e couro. É o animal símbolo do Peru.

Peru is a magical destination, abundant with ancient ruins dating back to the Incas.

Cusco tour and Coricancha Inca ruins -sc

Once an Incan palace and temple, taken over by the Spaniards and stripped of gold, it was build over by the Dominicans.

Typical Cusco street (this is in San Blas, an older part of town). Yes, cars go down the street, too (see the itty bitty "sidewalk"?), but most of the cars are small.

Pachacuti was the ninth ruler of the Kingdom of Cusco (“Sapa Inca”) and later the Emperor of the Inca Empire. Pachacuti began the expansion of the Inca dominion from the valley of Cusco to a big part of western South America.
