Soy mas Peruano que la papa!

So it's now officially just 35 days until we fly to Peru. We are incredibly excited. Between now and then we will be posting interesting facts we have discovered about Peru, as well as some about ourselves. 

These are from Amy. 


Cuy (Guinea pig) is a traditional meat used in Peruvian meals, it is estimated that 65 million guinea pigs are consumed in the country each year.

The potato is originally from Peru, and there are over 3,000 different varieties. Proud Peruvians use the phrase “Soy mas Peruano que la papa” (I am more Peruvian than the potato).

There are 3 official languages in Peru: Spanish, Quechua and Aymara.

I'm really looking forwards to working with Peruvian guiding members and learning more about their culture and guiding traditions.

I love swimming and in the summer can often be found open water swimming early in the morning.
