Topics include: many early civilisations including the Inca empire; the Spanish conquest and Peru's path to independence; life in Peru's towns and cities; religion and festivals, including the sun festival, Inti Raymi; ancient foods such as corn beer and roasted guinea pig; a recipe for natillas piuranas, a sweet milk pudding; and clothing, sports, and leisure.
