Wow! You now know so much about Peru! Your friend Jordan, however, knows nothing about it. In a few months, his family is going on a tour of Spanish-speaking countries, including Peru and other South American countries. He has asked you to help him learn more about those places before his trip. His first trip is to Peru. Write Jordan a three-paragraph letter in English, and compare Peruvian culture and American culture, especially in terms of foods, sports, transportation, population, and demographics. How is your culture similar to Peruvian culture? How is it different? Use a lot of details to help Jordan prepare for the trip, and have fun!
