			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the arrival of the pieces of Machu Picchu, which were returned to peru by the Yale University after nearly a century, Cusco Regional President commented throuth the radio station RPP News and said:</p>
<ul>
<li>Prepare a welcome reception to revalue the Inca culture.</li>
<li>He also mencioned that the authorities of Urubamba,       Ollantaytambo, Cusco, Machu Picchu and other cities will participate in      this event.</li>
</ul>

<p>On the other hand, Peru&#8217;s President Alan Garcia gave the authorities the Machu Picchu pieces, which were recovered from Yale University, in order to be exhibited as soon as possible at the Concha House and thus increase the tourism in that city. For this, the president offered to provide an special plane for transportation, he also ensured high security.</p>
<p>It should be noted that over 305 thousand people attended to the government palace, in Lima, to observe the 363 pieces, ceramics, bones, stones and metal objects. These were set up on April 12 and then were packed to be sent and displayed in July.</p>

Lunes Santo, 29 de Marzo<br />
Viernes Santo, 02 de Abril</p>

<p>La Semana Santa es una conmemoración religiosa, donde se manifiesta el sincretismo católico-andino.<br />
Es una demostración de devoción del pueblo Cusqueño; con representaciones del ingreso triunfal de Jesús en Jerusalén, se celebra además “La Fiesta de Los 12 Platos” y se hace penitencia por la Muerte del Señor Jesús en la Cruz.<br />
El Domingo de Ramos, a las nueve de la mañana se realiza la tradicional bendición de Ramos y una celebración eucarística en la Basílica Catedral del Cusco.</p>
<p>El día de Lunes Santo, la Plaza de Armas congrega a cerca de 60 mil devotos para recibir la tradicional bendición del Señor de Los Temblores o “Taytacha de los Temblores”, Patrón Jurado del Cusco.<br />
El Viernes Santo, desde las 4 de la mañana, algunos devotos realizan un “Vía Crucis” desde la Plaza San Francisco hasta la Cruz del Papa, ubicada en el Parque Arqueológico de Saqsaywaman. Paralelamente, en calles aledañas a Santa Clara, se realiza una peculiar feria de plantas medicinales propias de la época conocida como HAMPIRANTIKUY, en donde cusqueños provenientes de diversas comunidades ofertan esta flora nativa, de comprobadas virtudes curativas. Predomina la compra de “cruces de espinos”, las mismas que son amarradas a su vez con otra cruz elaborada con hojas de ñihua, y adornadas con trenzas de ajo,  flores silvestres de rosas q’era y phallchas (florecillas moradas).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Cuzco market is a must-see and a highlight for many visitors wanting to absorb South American culture. Men carry whole pig carcasses across their shoulders. Freshly plucked chickens, sides of beef, tables full of grains and spices, fresh fruits and vegetables are all on display in between vendors selling handmade textiles such as clothing, hats, gloves and scarves &#8211; all made from soft alpaca wool.<br />
An entire section of the market is devoted to fruit juice stands where women beckon you to taste their creations. Michael and I pulled up stools, and, with the help of two English-speaking women who joined us, ordered a &#8220;Jugo Especial&#8221; and split it. The delicious juice was made from an abundance of fruits and vegetables. A healthy dose of beer and a shot of &#8220;protein powder&#8221; was added for a little kick. <a rel="attachment wp-att-3004" href="http://www.cuscoperu.com/articles/uncategorized/visiting-a-cuscos-market-english/attachment/mercado-san-pedro"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3004" title="Mercado San Pedro" src="http://www.cuscoperu.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/Mercado-San-Pedro.jpg" alt="" width="379" height="284" /></a><br />
If you have an affection for guinea pigs, stay far away from the &#8220;cuy market.&#8221; Guinea pigs, or cuys, are protein-packed delicacies and have been a favorite of Peruvians since pre-Inca times. I made the mistake of taking a wrong turn and immediately ran out into the street.<br />
After all the hustle and bustle of a day in the market, we were looking forward to a slower pace in the countryside.</p>
<p>CONTINUE&#8230;.</p>

<p>Los representantes de El Parque de la Papa (El Parque de la Papa) han presentado la propuesta de las autoridades regionales en un intento por fomentar la conservación, producción y consumo interno de las papas nativas.<a rel="attachment wp-att-1931" href="http://www.cuscoperu.com/articles/peruvian-cuisine/potatoes-food-of-the-incasenglish/attachment/monton-de-papitas-3"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1931" title="cusco's potatoes" src="http://www.cuscoperu.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/Monton-de-Papitas2.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="167" /></a></p>
<p>El Parque de la Papa es el resultado de los esfuerzos de seis comunidades andinas en el Valle Sagrado del Cusco, junto con diferentes fundaciones de ayuda internacional, que han establecido un marco para proteger, preservar y promover el patrimonio biocultural de los Andes.</p>
<p>El parque está situado a sólo 3 km de Pisaq (40 km del Cusco), entre 3200 y 5000 metros sobre el nivel del mar, la altura ideal para el cultivo de patatas.</p>
<p>El proyecto se centra en la protección y preservación de la función crítica y la interdependencia del patrimonio biocultural indígena de los derechos locales, medios de subsistencia, la conservación y utilización sostenible de la agrobiodiversidad.</p>

<p>The Potato Park is the result of the efforts of six Andean communities in the Sacred Valley of Cusco together with different International Aid Foundations, who have established a framework to protect, preserve and promote the bio-cultural heritage of the Andes.</p>
<p>The park is located only 3km away from Pisaq (40km from Cusco), between 3200 and 5000 meters above sea level, the ideal altitude for the growing of potatoes.</p>
<p>The project focuses on protecting and preserving the critical role and interdependency of indigenous biocultural heritage for local rights, livelihoods, conservation and sustainable use of agrobiodiversity.</p>
