Perú es un país de América del Sur. Limita con Ecuador y Colombia al norte, Brasil al este, Chile al sur y Bolivia al sureste. La ciudad capital es Lima.

Las exportaciones más importantes de Perú son el pescado y el oro (gold) y otros metales. El turismo es también muy importante. Además, este país tiene una de las gastronomías más diversas del mundo. Los lugares más conocidos son quizás (perhaps) Cusco y las ruinas incas de Machu Picchu donde hay muchos edificios construidos por esta civilización. Aprendemos más sobre estos dos lugares.

La ciudad de Cusco


Cusco es una hermosa ciudad con una arquitectura colonial bien conservada, evidencia de su historia rica y compleja. La ciudad representa el centro de la cultura quechua en los Andes y si una persona camina por sus calles puede ver las diferentes etapas históricas del lugar. Por ejemplo, los edificios coloniales españoles tienen origen en las paredes incas. La ciudad está rodeada por una serie de ruinas y las más impresionante son las de Sacsayhuamán, el sitio donde, en 1536 (mil quinientos treinta y seis), los incas lucharon (fought) contra los españoles para defender su territorio y cultura. Hoy en día, Cusco es conocida (known) por su cultura quechua y aimara y por su turismo.

El Camino del Inca (o el Camino Inca) es un sendero que te lleva a la ciudad inca de Machu Picchu desde Cusco. Consiste de un sistema de caminos de 45 kilómetros (26 millas). En 2014 (dos mil catorce), estos senderos fueron (were) declarados Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. El Camino del Inca es parte del Santuario de Machu Picchu, un área protegida de 32.592 (treinta y cinco mil quinientas noventa y dos) hectáreas. Cada visitante debe obedecer las reglas de este lugar. Por ejemplo, los turistas no pueden tirar basura, cortar o dañar árboles, sacar o dañar piedras de las ruinas y el camino, acampar en los sitios arqueológicos, etc. Llegar a Machu Picchu caminando lleva aproximadamente 4 días y 3 noches. El mapa arriba te muestra la ubicación de los caminos y la ciudad.

¡A reflexionar sobre los objetivos!

Goal setting, Paso 1. As we are working to be our best language learners, we need to regularly check in on our progress toward our goals. Use the questions below to reflect upon the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the chapter.

My two short term goals were:

1. ___________________________________________________________

-Did you follow your action plan? In what way(s)? What worked? What didn’t work?

– _______ I have achieved this goal/ _______ I made progress toward this goal/

– _______ I have not made progress toward this goal and should make a revision to my goal or my action plan.

2. ___________________________________________________________

– Did you follow your action plan? In what way(s)? What worked? What didn’t work?

– _______ I have achieved this goal/ _______ I made progress toward this goal/

– _______ I have not made progress toward this goal and should make a revision to my goal or my action plan.

My one long-term goal was:

3. ___________________________________________________________

– Did you follow your action plan? In what way(s)? What worked? What didn’t work?

– _______ I have achieved this goal/ _______ I made progress toward this goal/

– _______ I have not made progress toward this goal and should make a revision to my goal or my action plan.

What do you currently feel is your greatest strength with Spanish? What do you attribute this success to? Is there something you are doing in this area that you could apply to weaker areas?

¡A revisar los objetivos!

Goal setting, Step 2. Before moving on to the next chapter, take a moment to update your goals and/ or action plans. It is okay to keep goals that you set for yourself previously if you are still working toward them.
