Peruvians

Peruvians are people who come from the country of Peru, which is in South America. Imagine a big map and you see a country in the shape of a triangle, that's Peru!

Peruvians have their own language, which is called Spanish. They also have another language called Quechua that some people speak. Peruvians eat all kinds of delicious food like ceviche, which is a dish made with fresh fish and lime juice, and lomo saltado which is a stir-fried beef dish served with potatoes and rice.

Many Peruvians live in big cities like Lima, which is the capital. But some Peruvians live in small villages in the countryside. In Peru, there are lots of different cultures and traditions, like the Inca civilization, which was a powerful empire thousands of years ago.

Peruvians love music and dancing, and they have a special dance called the Marinera which involves a man and woman dancing together with colorful costumes. They also have a big celebration every year called Inti Raymi which is a festival that celebrates the sun.

So basically, Peruvians are people from a really cool country with amazing food, music, and traditions.
