@ 2009-09-29 08:33:28
The Jicamarca Radio Observatory (JRO) is the equatorial anchor of the Western Hemisphere chain of Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) observatories extending from Lima, Peru to Søndre Strømfjord, Greenland. JRO is the premier scientific facility in the world for studying the equatorial ionosphere.

The radar can accurately determine the direction of the Earth's magnetic field (B) and can be pointed perpendicular to B at altitudes throughout the ionosphere. The study of the equatorial ionosphere is rapidly becoming a mature field due in large part due to the contributions made by JRO in radio science.

JRO’s main antenna is the largest of all the incoherent scatter radars in the world. The main antenna consists of a 300m x 300m square array composed of 18,432 cross-polarized dipoles. The main research areas of the observatories are: the stable equatorial ionosphere, ionospheric field aligned irregularities, the dynamics of the equatorial neutral atmosphere and meteor physics.

The Observatory is a facility of the Instituto Geofisico del Peru operated with support from the US National Science Foundation Cooperative Agreements through Cornell University.]]>

Canberra Mk.56
10 refurbished B(I).6 bombers sold to Peru

The English Electric Canberra is a first-generation jet-powered light bomber manufactured in large numbers through the 1950s. It proved to be highly adaptable, serving in such varied roles for tactical bombing, photographic, electronics, and meteorological reconnaissance. The Canberra remained in service with the Royal Air Force until 23 June 2006, 57 years after its first flight.

The Canberra could fly at a higher altitude than any other bomber through the 1950s and set a world altitude record of 70,310ft (21,430m) in 1957.]]>

Gocta Waterfall
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2009-07-07 15:24:01
The Gocta Waterfall (Spanish: Catarata del Gocta), a perennial waterfall with two drops, has been known for centuries to the local residents in Peru's province of Chachapoyas in Amazonas, which is approximately 700 kilometres (430 mi) to the north-east of Lima and flows into the Cocahuayco river. Its existence was made public following an expedition made in 2005 by a German, Stefan Ziemendorff, with a group of Peruvian explorers. At the time of his discovery he successfully persuaded the Peruvian government to map the falls and to measure their height. On 11 March 2006, following his third expedition to the falls, he held a press conference, the contents of which were published by several of the world's wire services. He stated that the total height was accurately measured at 771 metres (2,530 ft), although this was apparently based on outdated and incomplete information gleaned from the National Geographic Society, which ranked Gocta as the third tallest free-leaping waterfall in the world after Angel Falls in Venezuela and Tugela Falls in South Africa.]]>

@ 2009-07-07 15:21:16
The fortress of Kuelap (or Cuélap), associated with the Chachapoyas culture, consists of massive exterior stone walls containing more than four hundred buildings. The structure, situated on a ridge overlooking the Utcubamba Valley in northern Peru, is roughly 600 meters in length and 110 meters in width. It was likely built to defend against the Huari or other hostile peoples. Radiocarbon dating samples show that the structures construction started in the 6th century AD and occupied until the Early Colonial period (1532-1570).]]>

Royal Tombs Museum of Sipán

@ 2009-07-07 15:18:09
The museum's main attraction is the Lord of Sipan and his eight guests that went to the afterworld with him. The warriors that were buried with him were buried with amputated feet so they couldn't run away from the tomb. The women were dressed in their ceremonial clothes. Dogs, llamas, and 80+ huacos (Peruvian pottery) were also buried in the tomb.

The Lord of Sipán (El Señor de Sipán) is a mummy found in Sipán by Peruvian archaeologist Walter Alva in 1987. The tomb is in Sipán's Huaca Rajada, an area in Chiclayo.
El Señor de Sipán, original artifacts in the Royal Tombs of Sipán museum, Lambayeque, Peru

The Lord of Sipán tomb is a Moche culture site in Peru. Some archaeologists hold it to be one of the most important archaeological discoveries in this region of the world in the last 30 years, because the main tomb was found intact and untouched by thieves.]]>

Llactapata (also spelled Llaqtapata) is a combination of two Quechua words. Hiram Bingham, discoverer of Machu Picchu, and many other Incan sites, states that Llacta Pata is a descriptive term; "llacta" means "town" and "pata" means "a height". Thus, more than one site has been, and is, referred to by this name.

Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega

@ 2008-06-16 10:03:26
The Estadio Garcilaso de la Vega is Cusco's principal stadium and the home venue of the local team Cienciano. The stadium was named after the Peruvian mestizo Inca Garcilaso de la Vega and inaugurated in 1950, with an initial capacity of 30,000. It is owned by the Instituto Peruano del Deporte.

The increase in spectator capacity came after CONMEBOL chose Peru to host the Copa América 2004, prompting the Peruvian government to invest in a 5-million renovation program for its stadia, including the Estadio Garcilaso de la Vega. Its renovation cost approximately $1,720,000, which helped boost its official spectator capacity to 42,056. The stadium ended hosting the third place game of the Copa América 2004. Thanks to the event the city of Cusco received even more tourists than what already receives as Peru's top tourist destination.

It is also recognized as one of the most beautiful stadiums from all of South America, because of its grass, that is very taken care of. It impresses commentarists and visitors, because of its resistance to all type of climates that can be present in the city of Cusco and still look in great shape.

It is named after Peruvian pilot Alejandro Velasco Astete who was the first person to fly over the Andes in 1925 flying to this airport. Later that year, in September, while trying to avoid crashing into spectators in the city of Puno he crashed and was killed. The airport is the gateway to the marvelous and intriguing city of Cusco, which is the center of the South American travel network, and to perhaps the most famous city in ruins in the world, Machu Picchu.

Due to the significant participation of the Dominicans in the conquest of Peru, the Spaniards couldn't have chosen a better place to build the church of the order than over the base of the most important monument of the Tawantinsuyo: the Koricancha, which is the largest Indian temple to worship the Sun.

According to the chronicles, it was one of the most magnificent constructions of the Incan Cusco. In the inner part, the precincts' walls, made of finely polished stone, were entirely covered with gold and silver sheets, idols and the representation of the sun.

After receiving the old temple's plot during the lots distribution that took place in October 1534, Juan Pizarro, brother of the conqueror, ceded it to the Dominican congregation. The first prior of the convent was Friar Juan de Olías, who occupied this cloister together with a group of Mexican missionaries.]]>

The altarpiece-type front is decorated with medium-height towers and its stone walls had been carefully worked. The main altar of three sections and wreathed columns, the wooden pulpit and the numerous baroque, plateresque and churrigueresque altarpieces stand out in the entrance. Among the most important art pieces that are kept in the church "El Matrimonio de Martín García de Loyola con Beatriz Clara Coya" ("The Marriage of Martín García de Loyola with Beatriz Clara Coya") is remarkable. ]]>

The first Cusco Cathedral was built in 1539 at the Suntur Wasi, current Iglesia del Triunfo, but in 1560 there was an order to build a new cathedral on the Kiswir Kancha lot, palace of Inca Wiracocha. The actual Cathedral was declared built in 1664, more than a century after.

The design is constituted by a latin-cross base, the façade has a Renaissance style, very ornamental, and it contains the best manifestations of colonial goldsmith and wood carving, as well as a valuable collection of canvases from the Escuela Cusqueña (Academy of Cusco). There are two auxiliary chapels on its both sides: Capilla del Triunfo and Jesus, Maria y Jose.

The building process had two stages. First, they constructed the Capilla del Triunfo over the old Suntur Wasi (House of God) temple.

Afterwards, they erect the cathedral over the Palace of Inca Wiracocha. The Renaissance style is predominant in the façade and the inside the building, the inner decoration is rich in cedar and alder carvings. The choir and the pulpit stand out due to their beauty. It keeps an important collection of the Academy of Cusco and repoussé-silver objects.]]>

Colca Canyon (deepest canyon in the world)
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

Colca Canyon is the canyon of the Colca River in southern Peru. It is located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) north of Arequipa.

It is reportedly the deepest canyon on earth and is thought to be twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the United States. The Colca River starts high in the Andes at Condorama Crucero Alto and changes its name to Majes, and then to Camana before reaching the Pacific Ocean.

On either side of the canyon are the villages of Chivay and Cabanaconde. Parts of the canyon are habitable, and pre-Columbian terraces are still cultivated there.

The canyon is the habitat of the great South American condor, a species that has seen world-wide effort to preserve it.

The Spanish laid out towns along the canyon and built churches there, but the towns did not thrive and have faded out of memory. In the 1980s, the Majes Hydroelectric Project built roads and opened the area to outsiders. Access today is usually through Arequipa.

Cruz del Condor is a popular tourist stop to view the condors, which hunt in the early morning and late afternoon. At this point the canyon floor is 3960 feet (1200 meters) below the rim of the canyon.]]>
