Because Peru needed an excuse to celebrate it twice, Pisco has two national holidays: Pisco Day on the 4^th Sunday of July, and Pisco Sour Day on the 1^st Saturday of February.

That means that Pisco Day falls on Sunday, July 26^th this year, and Pirwa Hostels in Lima doesn´t need to be told twice!  Drink will be flowing all over Lima, from half-priced drinks in bars and restaurants, to free drinks handed out by promoters in parks and plazas.  The fountain in the Plaza Mayor (the main square of Lima) will flow with Pisco instead of water on this day- last year, more than 2000Lt flowed through the fountain!

From June 20th through 29th, Lima’s Parque de la Exposición will host the fifth annual Invita Perú Food Fair, which will recreate the first decades of the 1800s through food, barkers, and a space decorated with colonial details. In erstwhile times, with a surprising punctuality for an era with no watches, colorful characters such as the milkmaid, the cake man, or the sweets man went through the streets selling different goods and dishes while yelling their advantages. Each June, it happens anew in the center of one of the most modern districts in Lima, and this year 120 thousand are expected to attend over the course of the fair.

For those thrill seekers out there, Pirwa Travel offers a novel way to admire the Malecón Verde, the green seaside cliffs of Lima: paragliding in Miraflores!

You don’t need any prior experience to take a flight, as most travelers opt for tandem flights with an experienced instructor who is licensed by the municipality and has at least several years experience. This way, no class is necessary, meaning that you only need an hour free to squeeze this excursion into your Lima itinerary.
