The Embassy of Peru celebrated its national day in a unique and different way this year, celebrating the country’s rich and diverse cultural heritage at “Kaypi Peru” (This is Peru), a colorful extravaganza at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian on July 27. Costumed musicians, singers and dancers performed a “Ceremonial Offering to Mother Earth” before entertaining more than 500 guests throughout the festivities, which included vendors selling folkloric handicrafts and a buffet featuring Peruvian avocado guacamole, oatmeal cookies and a multi-flavored gelateria.
