Peru is one
of the most fascinating South American countries which is
often overlooked. It is home to one of the seven wonders of
the world, Machu Picchu, and has a rich history of Incan and
Spanish conquest.
Although one of the poorer South American countries, Peru
is rich in culture. Their tradition, delicious cuisine, and
hospitable people make Peru one of the most desirable destinations
in Latin America.
|
The multiple layers
of great civilizations are what make Peru so fascinating. You can
visit the ancient Incan capital of Cuzco, explore the lost city
of Machu Picchu, contemplate the enigma of the Nazca Lines, and
roam around colonial cities which have preserved the lagacy of the
Spanish conquistadors.
All of this exists
in a country with some of the most spectacular and varied scenery
in South America. The Peruvian Andes are arguably the most beautiful
on the continent and the mountains are home to millions of highland
Indians who still speak the ancient tongue of Quechua and maintain
a traditional way of life. The lush Amazon Basin, which occupies
half of Peru, is one of the world's top 10 biodiversity locations
- a species-rich area of tropical rain forest. And the coastal deserts,
with their huge rolling dunes, farmland oases and fishing villages,
are underappreciated by travelers but offer the opportunity to experience
more than just the typical tourist 'hot spots'.
Our international soccer tours offer a unique opportunity to see
Peru as it is: a simple country, slower paced than our first world
powers, with fascinating history, tradition, and attractions. Your
club will have the opportunity to play competitive Peruvian soccer
teams appropriate to your club's level of play.

FRIENDLY MATCHES
All
of our matches, promoted by FARA, Fútbol Against Racism in
the America, are pre-arranged with local youth, amateur, semi-professional,
or professional Peruvian clubs. We promote each game with the message
of cultural cohesion through our world's most common pastime, soccer.
Our events give players of both countries the opportunity to share
90 minutes of physical and mental competition to establish mutual
respect for each others' abilities and existence. Our anti-racist
propoganda, billboards, magazine, and event agenda make each game,
no matter how small or large, a remarkable experience for all of
those present.
TRAINING
FIELDS AND FACILITIES
Depending
on your team's wants and needs, we offer a variety of qualities
of facilities, ranging from professional level stadiums and grounds,
to local fields. We do ensure, however, that all fields and facilities
are in good condition and safe for use. Some of the many training
facility options are shown below.
  
Many of our Peruvian
facilities also have gyms, saunas, dorms, cafeterias, and game rooms,
which are all very affordable and convenient for traveling teams.
  
TOURIST
EXCURSIONS
Included
in each teams' daily itineray are various sightseeing and tourist
activities. We can arrange the tours for your team, or you can do
it yourself. We have estblished contacts at many of Peru's main
tourist attractions, so our rates may be comparable with those that
you could find for yourself. You can opt whether to include certain
tourist activities, or focus instead on soccer, or both! We are
flexible and willing to organize your trip however you like.

On the skirts
of the western range of the Andes, at the foot of the Misti
volcano, rests the magical city of Arequipa. It is a beautiful
city of mansions, temples and convents built out of 'sillar'
- a material of solidified volcanic rock -, and distinguished
by a unique architectural style. The city is surrounded by
magical countryside giving it a refreshing, bucolic air. |

At 3,360
meters above sea level, in the Huatanay valley of the southeastern
Andes of Peru, visiting Cusco is an unforgettable experience,
as it allows you to uncover some of the mysteries of the Incas,
because Cusco was the center, the "navel" of the
Andean world. |

In Trujillo,
spring is eternal. The sun always shines, filling even the
most secluded corners of the capital of the department of
La Libertad with light. This light brightens the spirit of
an affable and cordial people, who live proud of their adobe
citadels built by the Chimus and Mochicas; their stately mansions,
heritage of colonial times and the beginnings of the Republic;
and of the 'marinera', the national dance of Peru, a whirl
of sensuality and gallantry from which love is born.

Mysteriously
perched on a mountain shoulder 2300m up in the Andes, Machu
Picchu remained hidden for four centuries until Hiram Bingham
rediscovered it in 1911. Steep stairways lead to granite shrines
fountains and flowers lining dwelling places of beautifully
carved stone. Thought by some to be the last refuge of the
Incas, Machu Picchu was more likely to be a ceremonial city
where Inca lords and the Virgins of the Sun worshipped their
gods and consulted the heavens. Its magestique and complex
of temples, palaces and observatories withstanding 500 years
of the Amazon jungle leave chilling impressions on its
visitors. |
