Machu Picchu celebrates its 100th year
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
100 years since its discovery and
still just as beautiful... |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
The
village of Machu Picchu was accidentally discovered on July 24th, 1911.
Scientists believe that the village was built on this specific location
in the Andes because it was close to the mountain tops, which had high
religious relevance within the Inca culture.
Our home travel agency, Dos Manos Travel, organizes hiking and train trips to the beautiful ruins. DOS MANOS >> |

Do you know what Gnocchi are? |
Each and every month on the 29th it's a tradition to eat Gnocchi (in Argentine Spanish written as Ñoquis) in Argentina.
The story goes that a group of Italian housewives in the 1970s
made the tradition widespread; a way to celebrate the end of the month.
The 29th for most families was the last day before payday,
pretty much when they ran out of money. A well-known expression in
Argentina is 'a full belly, a happy heart', and therefore Argentinos
invite friends and family over to share the Italian pasta dish of
Gnocchi's. It's also common to find ñoquis in restaurants menus on this
day.
Traditionally, money is put under the plate to attract
prosperity. The money is kept by the diner as a sign of good luck, and
is left for the hostess to pay for the ñoquis for the month that
follows. Sometimes they give the money to a member of the dinner who
needs it the most. Either way, diners at the 29th of the month end up
both full and happy. |

 Ever tried the purple Chicha Morada?
Chicha Morada has been a staple in Peruvian food for thousands of years.
The Incas made and drank this beverage throughout the entire Andean
region (Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia) before the Spanish ever discovered the
Americas. And it's still a tradition to drink Chicha Morada nowadays.
Chicha Morada is a non-alcoholic drink. It consists of purple corn,
apple, pineapple, limes, sugar, cloves and cinnamon sticks. It is
incredibly refreshing and really easy to make. Don't let the thought of
drinking purple corn turn you off to trying this recipe. It's actually
delicious and you're not going to eat the corn anyway! |
