Peru: Andean Village Experience

Perched high in the mountains, nestled just a couple of hours north of Lima, is the darling, traditional, secluded village of San Pedro de Casta. The people of San Pedro are "campesinos" or peasants. As their ancestors did for thousands of years, they make their communal living by farming the terraced land of the surrounding mountains.
