There's a country on Earth
that has everything.

There's a country on Earth
that hides many stories.

Stories about millenary civilizations...

and people who were the foundation
of society as we know it today.

There's a country that hides
ancestral myths and legends,

which have been passed on for centuries
from generation to generation.

There's a place that still hides secrets,

and it wants the world to discover them.

Welcome to Peru: A hidden treasure.

From the coasts of the Pacific

to the dense Amazon rainforest,

and along the Andes, the highest mountains
in the American continent,

there's a country with a history
dating back thousands of years.

From the first men
who inhabited these lands

to the first known civilizations,

it's a home to one of the biggest empires
that once lived on Earth.

It's an empire that amazes
the entire world even today

with its culture and architecture.

With its strategies and organization
as a civilization.

it's an empire that extended almost
over all South America at one point.

Peru is a country characterized
by cultural diversity,

landscapes,

the different species that live in it,

and its rich and lush vegetation.

It's a country whose development
has been determined by the relationship

between man and nature.

It's a country with a coastline
that goes from North to South.

It has shores that lean out to the ocean,

and embraced by one
of the driest places on Earth.

On this shore,
we find the current capital city of Peru.

Lima.

Lima is on these cliffs,

and it is a home

to over eight million people.

It's a city that watches over
and fervently protects the entire country.

It's a country that hides stories.

At one of the beaches, we find one
of Peru's best protected traditions.

Huanchaco is the home
of the caballitos de totora.

This vessel used by the local fishermen

is built with the totora,

a plant that grows lavishly in the area.

Some people say surfing was invented here.

The story says that the local fishermen

were the first to ride the waves
on the caballitos de totora.

At sunset, on their way back from fishing,

they rode the waves
when they are near the shore,

making a game out of it at first,
and later, a sport.

Dono Urcia is one of the locals

who protects this tradition,
which is almost 3,000 years old.

He shows it to the tourists and passes it
from one generation to another.

The Peruvian Pacific Coastline

extends from the North,
at the border with Ecuador,

and to the South,
at the border with Chile.

It's a coast with crystal clear waters,

dry deserts, and mountain ranges

that reach the sea with its last slopes.

The relation between men and the sea

goes back to the origins of mankind.

It has served as a guide
to find new worlds

and as the beginning of the exchange
between cultures and civilizations

that have shaped society in our planet.

The sea has felt the impact of evolution
and its balance is in danger.

These waters have been guarded
by traditional fishermen

who have never stopped fighting
for the safety of the ocean

and have become contemporary
allies on their side.

They are allies who take care
of the beaches,

the ocean, and the villages nearby.

Curious, adventurous and bold allies...

The Peruvian surfers

who discovered a world of perfect beaches,

and have fostered the creation
of new urban centers.

Their premise is to enjoy nature,

to take care of it and to raise awareness
of its importance

for the survival of every species,

including human beings.

I dare to say that I'm one
of the first professional surfers in Peru.

I was amazed at the speed
we reached on water.

I couldn't believe it.

I already liked it, but then it hit me
and I fell in love with this sport.

Brunela is a young female surfer
from the North, from Máncora.

She is very talented.

I really like how she surfs
because it has so much power.

Tomás understands the lines

and those new moves
that we see now on the circuit.

If he works diligently and hard,

he could be one of the best.

Punta Hermosa,
a beach few minutes away from Lima.

It's one of the surfing capitals in Peru.

Máncora is a peaceful enchanting beach
with a quiet sea.

The first surfers in Peru discovered
several beaches up North.

Chasing the perfect waves
and an eternal Summer,

they reached Cabo Blanco.

You spend a few days there
and you share time with people.

You feel the place,

and you easily fall in love
because life there is simple.

But at the same time,
you get to experience

something really rare,
which are these perfect waves.

It's like our treasure
because it is always summer.

It is always warm and sunny,
and that is something very hard to find.

Rises usually come
from the Southern Hemisphere

and from the Northern Hemisphere.

There are storms
that generate hurricane force winds

that raises huge waves in the open sea

and travel all the way to the shore.

We know that
if there are big waves in Hawaii,

they will reach
the north of Peru in five days.

About 540 kilometers from Cabo Blanco
in the Port of Malabrigo

is Chicama Beach.

This beach is known worldwide
for having the longest wave on Earth.

Visitors from everywhere

come to this beach to defy nature.

Being a great surfer is not enough.

Whoever decides
to ride waves at this beach

will face the exceptional challenge
of riding the board

much longer than usual.

Here, we could ride a wave
that is 2.5 kilometers long,

as long as we have the skill
and strong legs.

Up North, at El Ñuro,

under the green waters...

It is like greeting a regular visitor

for the green turtle.

The endangered species

is protected by almost
every government in the world.

In many cases,

turtles go to the Peruvian Shore
after nesting in Galápagos.

This is only one of the many creatures
that inhabits our ocean.

During July and August,
Peruvian beaches receive another visitor,

one of the biggest mammals on Earth,

the humpback whale.

Males fight over the female in heat.
And after their conception,

the female has a gestation period
of 11 months before giving birth.

They travel thousands of kilometers
from the South Artic

to the Peruvian Coast to give birth
and take care of their offspring.

This mammal can weigh around 30 to 50 tons

and be between 12 and 16 meters long.

The orca is their sole natural predator,

but human negligence and climate change

are the two main reasons

for the drastic drop
in the global population of this whale.

This cruel reality has caused
a reinforcement of measures

for the conservation and care
of this species worldwide,

managing to control its population
over the last years.

Far from this incredible sea life,

and barely 550 meters above sea level,

there is the Nazca Desert.

This piece of land

holds one of the biggest mysteries
of mankind,

The Nazca Lines.

It's a set of images of animals.

The gigantic geometric shapes
perfectly traced

in an area of over 600 square kilometers

make it impossible to believe
they were drawn by humans.

If we take into account that
they were created over 1,500 years ago,

a theory states that
they were not drawn by humans.

However,

the strongest theories argue
that it was the Nazca Civilization

who inhabited the area at that time.

It has not yet been determined

whether the drawings
were parts of a gigantic calendar,

if they were astronomical signs,

or if they held a divine
or protective power.

From the sky,
one can see animals and vegetables,

and geometric shapes
that extend for kilometers.

The Nazcas created a system of aqueducts
which would enable the sowing

in areas like deserts,

where it almost never rains.

Thanks to these structures,
we know that the Nazcas

were great forward-thinking engineers.

However, the method
to such a perfect trace line

and the perfection in their angles

will forever remain a mystery.

The Peruvian desert

offers a rocky and distressing view

that makes it hard to believe
that life is possible there.

In this very same desert,

we find one of the miracles
Earth grants us with.

These sand dunes protect a wonder

and mystery of nature,

the Huacachina oasis.

Sand dunes in the desert of Ica
extend through several kilometers.

They go as far as the eye can reach.

The green water emerges from underground,

creating a sense of peace.

Local people embrace the serenity

and invite visitors
to an unforgettable journey.

Behind the oasis

is the Sun God

worshiped by every culture
who inhabited these lands...

It sets in the horizon

and gives room
to the cold night in the desert.

Nowadays, Lima is also
the gastronomic capital of the country,

and some of the best chefs
in the world live here.

I was born between these two worlds.

My father is Japanese

and my mother is Peruvian
with Japanese blood in her family.

I love cooking.

Our drive as chefs

is to make people happy,
and that makes us happy.

Once, I said

that good perfume would be one made
of garlic and onions scents.

My grandmother visited the market.

The lady who worked with her
is named Maura.

She cooked for the entire week.

On Saturdays, I didn't go to school
so I used to sleep late.

Maura would come by nine in the morning,
and would start cooking.

Of course, the first thing she did

was to chop garlic, onions, cilantro...
And I used to wake up to that.

I would have my breakfast in the kitchen,
and of course, I would watch Maura cook.

It didn't take long for me
to say, "Can I help you?"

She used to cook Creole Food,

but with a taste of Japanese influence.

She worked with my grandmother.

At that moment it was not called
Nikkei Food.

However, it was a Creole cuisine
with hints of Japanese food.

So I left. I went to Japan.
I had my grandparents' house.

I knew life in Japan was going to be hard,
but I always knew that I belong in Peru.

I never wanted to stay there.

I left Peru to learn all that I could,

so then I could come back here
and use my knowledge.

The person who gave me
that final push and said,

"Hey, why don't you try this?",
was my father.

He told me, "I told you
that I saw you as an investment

and not as a son.
If I'm going to invest in someone,

it should be someone that I trust

who will make things right
and to someone I won't invest in vain."

He said, "I believe in what happened
to you and I can invest in you."

Peru has the recipe for the perfect dish.

The secret comes
from three main ingredients.

Its tradition,

which comes
from all its millenary civilizations,

the biodiversity of its products,

and finally, the influence
from foreign cultures.

All of that, for instance,
can be found in Arequipa...

with its spicy food restaurants.

Part of the secret of Peruvian food

are the fruits that the land
and the ocean bear.

In El Ñuro, fishery is artisanal.

To this day, fishermen use
the same techniques

they practiced hundreds of years ago.

The goal of the region
is not only to maintain

the traditional techniques in fishery,
but also make it sustainable.

Brave and lone fishermen

venture up to 20 miles offshore

defying nature in little rafts.

At the end of the day,
groups of artisanal fishermen

give us a glimpse of a stunning view.

Far away, a little vessel can be seen,
and next to it, dozens of them.

They all come back
from offshore with their daily catch.

The number of fishermen trying
to recover this ecosystem is increasing,

and they struggle to raise awareness
about caring for the oceans.

Far from the shore, inland Peru,
there is the Highland Region.

Northeast of the Department of Arequipa,

there is a valley that extends nearly

12,000 square kilometers,

with depressions
of up to 4,000 meters deep.

Infinite valleys

and mountains reach the skies.

Canyons shaped by time

lie across the Peruvian Andes.

Valleys guarded by beings
who had arrived there

long before humans.

It is the largest flying land bird
on Earth.

Its wingspan of almost three meters

claims this place as its home
and it eagerly watches

what once was the largest empire
in South America.

It is the Andean condor.

It's a carrion bird with black feathers
and a slender body.

White feathers cover its neck and wings,

and it flies up to 70 kilometers per hour.

The Inca civilization considered
the condor as immortal.

According to a myth,
this bird can live up to 75 years.

When it gets old and when it feels
that it is losing its strength,

it alights on the highest peak,
retracts its wings and feet,

and plummets off
into the bottom of a canyon

where its reign ends.

With this symbolic death,
the condor goes back to its nest

from where it will be reborn
into a new cycle of life.

The condor represented strength,

intelligence, elation and exaltation.

It was an animal respected by every being

who had inhabited the Andes
even before America were discovered.

An animal responsible
not only of good and bad omens,

but also of bringing
the sun up every morning,

bearing their energy allowed them
to grab the star

and raise it above the mountains
so that the vital cycle would begin.

The condor protects its family.

It teaches their offspring to fly,
and it's only when they can manage

to live by themselves and let them
start writing their own destiny.

But it will never leave the partner
that it has spent its life with,

because one would jump into the canyon

if the other one leaves this world early.

These mountains run through Peru
from North to South,

like the backbone of a country

that has witnessed cultures and
civilizations blossom throughout history.

Up North,
there is the Department of Amazonas,

one of the most beautiful areas
in the Peruvian Highlands.

On the rocky walls of these mountains,
our ancestors left

the testament
of their traditions and culture.

The Carajia sarcophaguses...

are the main expression
of a pre-Inca culture

known as the Chachapoya culture.

As we can see, two of these leaders

have skulls on their sarcophagus.

This could be a sign of their leadership

in a warlike civilization
as the Chachapoyas were.

In the Andean world view,

the mountains were sacred.
They represented the origin of life.

Burying people in this mountain was a way
of going back to the beginning of life,

and taking the highest ruler
to a secluded place

that's inaccessible to everyone.

The techniques they used to access

these remote places remain a mystery.

The Peruvian Andes
run along the entire region,

drawing landscapes
among big mountains, canyons,

rivers and an area of biodiversity plants
known as Highland Jungle.

This vegetation covers the mountains
with trees and countless species.

Up North, precisely on these lands,

we find one of the most beautiful places
in Peru.

It's the Gocta waterfall.

To get to this magical place,

we have to go
over five kilometers of trails,

and hanging bridges through the mountains,

forests, rivers and lush vegetation.

This waterfall is over 700 meters tall,

one of the highest on Earth.

This amazing region

is now the pride of the bordering villages

that guard and watch over
this wonder of nature.

Local people tell legends of treasures
guarded by hidden mermaids

hiding at the bottom of the lake
that the waterfall creates.

About 100 kilometers South of this area,
it is necessary to go across two mountains

and to travel several kilometers
from the nearest village

to get to an archeological site
fiercely protected in Peru.

The fortress of Kuelap.

This place belongs
to the Chachapoya culture.

It is located 3,000 meters
above sea level.

The citadel was built in different stages
throughout several centuries.

The Chachapoyas controlled this region
from 900 A.D.,

until the arrival of the Incas after 1400.

The Incas added them into their empire

and while they scattered them out
in order to keep them under control,

they respected their customs,
which remain alive in the region.

To the Southeast,
we find one of Peru's biggest treasures.

The highest waterway on Earth
is 4,000 meters above the sea.

It's a stretch of water that extends
over 6,000 square kilometers,

and it seems like an ocean
in the middle of the Andes.

When sailing on the lake,
one can lose himself

in the horizon, and yet he will not see
the other side of the shore.

A wonder of nature

that is still home to communities

that live the way their ancestors did
centuries before.

As the legend goes,

the Inca Empire was born in this lake.

But long before this great civilization,

these waters were inhabited
by other cultures and civilizations.

The Uros are a native community

which live on floating islands
along the lake.

On these islands
made with the totora plant,

the Uros organize their communities.

If we travel through the river,
we would find big and small groups

formed by a small group of families.

These communities distribute
the power among themselves,

rotating the power of command
and the decision making.

Women and men

take turns as the majors.
It's the elderly people,

the wisest ones, who are in charge
of keeping the tradition alive

and inherit their knowledge
from generation to generation.

Far from the Uros,
and even farther from the city of Puno,

we find one of the prettiest islands
of Titicaca lake.

The island of Taquile,
or Intike in Quechua language.

It's a perfect masterpiece of nature that
extends to a total of five kilometers.

Bathed by the crystal clear waters
of the Titicaca lake,

this island hosts a community
that preserves its language and culture.

Surrounded by a rich environment,
their livelihood is based on agriculture,

craftsmanship and knitting.

Nowadays, islanders market products
with the Uros and other local communities,

and amazingly,
they still practice barter transactions.

An island that to this day
does not have electricity

or access to telecommunications

it invites us to a travel back in time

and to go to a complete disconnection
from the world as we know it.

On this island lives
one of the most traditional families.

Everyone has a role here,

from harvesting potatoes
to hand weaving looms.

At the highest point,
almost 4,100 meters above sea level,

these two brothers bid farewell to the sun

hiding far away in the horizon.

Southeast of Peru,
on the Eastern mountainside of the Andes,

in the watersheds of the Huatanay river,

we find one of the most charming cities
on Earth.

Cradle of one of the most fascinating
civilizations,

the capital of Inca Empire.

Legend tells that in the Titicaca lake,

two siblings were born,
who were also husband and wife.

They are Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo,
sons of the Sun God,

They will carry out the mission of forming
the capital of the future empire

in the valley
of the Huatanay river, in Cuzco.

The streets still show traces
of the Inca times

entangled with the colonization period.

In its architecture, we can see
the influence of both cultures.

Its result is an exciting
and breathtaking city.

Surrounded by houses built
centuries before,

the residents still keep
its tradition alive even today.

Historians agree on a curious fact.

While there are traces of civilizations

who inhabited the region hundreds,

perhaps even thousands of years
before the Incas,

it wasn't until the 13th century A.D.
that this city reached its peak,

making it the capital of the Inca Empire.

The largest empire that
the American continent has ever seen

and one of the biggest on Earth.

Just a little over 100 kilometers
from the city of Cuzco,

by train, flanking the Urubamba river,

or by walking through the mountains,

traversing sacred locations,

there are paths hiding ancestral stories.

Through those, we could reach

one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

A masterpiece of engineering
and architecture

that is evidence on how advanced
the Inca Empire was.

Amid mountain peaks and a river
that meanders the valleys,

we find...

the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu.

It was an administrative,

educative, political, religious

and scientific research institute
of the Inca Empire.

Incan culture was only developed
for 300 years,

from the year 1200
until the Spanish arrived.

In that short span,

they managed to build an empire
that eventually conquered

and added to its own political system

different cultures, and civilizations

throughout a great part of South America.

They built this architectural marvel
on top of a mountain

using the stone emerging in the region.

The Incas, who walked on these streets
and slept sheltered by these walls,

were extremely advanced for their time.

It wasn't until the Spaniards arrived
that this empire collapsed.

Today, the Inca civilization
is the pride of every Peruvian

who seek to keep their heritage,
tradition, and legacy alive.

Our roots and our respect towards them

will keep the legacy
of a civilization alive,

that until today is admired
by the rest of the world.

Peru bears the responsibility
of preserving an ecosystem

that is very significant to Planet Earth.

Amazonia.

Located in the Loreto region,

this habitat running through the land

of over six million square kilometers

is the largest tropical forest on Earth

and reaches nine countries
throughout South America.

Amazonia is known as the lungs of Earth

and it is the home
to a great biological richness.

In this dense forest live a myriad
of still unidentified plants,

thousands of birds,

and millions of insects.

The forest

is full of wild animals.

Each of them plays an elemental role

in the balance of this ecosystem.

Being the feast to another species

is the ever-present menace.

This nocturnal monkey,

which is seldom spotted awake
during the day,

must hide in these hollow trees

to stay away
from other life-threatening creatures.

Only if they feel imminent danger

would they come out
to study the surroundings.

Near this tree

lives a great array of monkeys
that climb high

to protect themselves
against other menacing species.

The boa constrictor

can be up to four meters long

and can camouflage itself with vegetation.

It rolls up the trunks and can creep up
to its prey's hiding places

to hunt by suffocation.

Each species has its preference.

Some of them have covenants of peace

and it allows them to stay alive
in this world of predators.

There are also unbelievable creatures

who seem to live oblivious
to the dangers of the forest,

like sloths

who spend most of the day napping
between tree branches.

A mammal who can camouflage itself
within vegetation

due to the greenish color of its coat.

It feeds on leaves and enjoy sunbathing.

On warm days, it shows off their belly.

But when the clouds arrive,

this animal sinks into a specific position
to preserve nice body heat.

Its diet is solely responsible
for its slow metabolism

and its unhurried movements.

On the leaves of this very same tree

lives this tarantula.

It can spend the entire day still

to prepare for the hunting hours
during the night.

Its favorite food are insects,

such as ants marching like an army
on the forest soil.

They are also the perfect meal

for this strange specimen,

the poison frog.

This little amphibian
is barely a centimeter and a half long,

and it is one of the most
lethal animals on Earth.

Its poison comes from the toxins
of the insects that it feeds on.

Its colors allow it to camouflage itself

and to stay safe
from its natural predators.

This frog is not the only animal
that brings color to the Amazonia.

Hundreds of butterflies display
their beauty in this ecosystem.

But they are not the only ones flying
over the rivers and forests.

Countless birds plow through
the skies of this forest.

An unconquerable climate.

The scorching heat lashes
the region constantly

while humidity rises up from the rivers.

Although precipitations are consistent,

their intensities vary
depending on the season

and it rains almost every day.

But the sun is always there, too.

Over a number of months,

the forests get flooded
and receive new nutrients

that help this diverse ecosystem

get constantly renewed.

The floods are part of the perfect balance

of the miracles that nature gives us.

Rivers and canyons flank these forests.

It is precisely in the South of Peru

where the Amazon river rises,
in the Arequipa region.

Its waters go all the way down
from the snowy Misti

to the Ucayali river.

This, along with the Marañón river,

are the two main streams
of the Amazon river.

These two currents meet to create

the longest river on Earth,

containing one fifth of the total amount
of freshwater in a liquid state.

In the Loreto region,

we find the Pacaya-Samiria
National Reserve.

With two million hectares,

this is the largest
floodable tropical forest

in the Peruvian Amazonia.

It is also the second largest reserve
in Peru.

Native communities have been living here

since the ancient times.

Thanks to the preservation

and the conservation of this area,

these communities and their habitat

are protected and secured.

Deep in the Amazon forest,
there are still native communities

that haven't been counted,

and others that zealously protect
their practices,

dialects, and traditions,

such as the San Jorge community
living by the Marañón river.

The river dolphin swims there.

This friendly animal has managed
to adapt to freshwater

and it is common to see them
swimming in pods.

They can protect each other this way.

Not every creature in the forest chooses
to live in the company of others.

A lonely animal lives here.

An animal that throughout its life

has only needed to hide from one predator:

humans.

The otorongo is better known as a jaguar.

The largest and most iconic
feline of America,

and one of the largest in the world.

The otorongo rarely goes near humans.

Its sense of smell allows him to sense
humans from over 200 meters away,

and to stay away from its biggest threat.

Its extravagant skin is the reason
that this species is endangered

since it used to be marketed.

Their conservation is a widespread
concern nowadays.

The richness of the Amazon forest

most probably has the answer and cure
to almost every disease

that troubles human beings.

Its plants

and vegetation

hold the active ingredients

to practically any medicine,

no chemicals or industries involved.

Nature itself could be the answer
to every illness.

Since ancient times,

shamans have developed
a superior knowledge

of how nature can be used
to cure human beings.

Luis Culquitón

is one of the most renowned
and acclaimed shamans in the world.

His refuge is located
deep in the Peruvian Amazon.

At this earthly paradise,

he receives people
who are looking for healing.

When the shaman talks to the visitors,

he will reach the bottom of their soul

to be able to find
the source of their suffering

and then decide the best healing process.

The ritual of Ayahuasca

is the first step
towards an interior healing

and a cleansing of the soul
that prepares the visitor

for the treatment the shaman
has chosen for them.

Industries cannot heal modern men.

It's their minds,

their problems, and worries

that make their ailments.

And nature is the one
that holds the cure for them.

The Amazon still hides
our greatest treasure.

Taking care and preserving it

means to keep the raw materials alive
to heal mankind.

The Peruvian tropical forests

play an essential role
in the world's ecosystem.

These forests preserve the humidity

that brings warmth not only to the Amazon,

but also to the entire world.

This humidity helps balance
the temperature

of the entire planet

through the equator's air flows.

Its deforestation could endanger
every species on the planet,

including human beings.

Its impact will affect
temperatures worldwide

which could worsen global warming,

and as a consequence,
cause climate catastrophes

that could end the world as we know it.

It is our responsibility

to preserve the environment
and its condition

to present the Earth
to the next generations

just as we know it now.

This place is essential
to comprehend and preserve our history.

It has been a sacred place.

Strangely, no matter the beliefs
of its residents here,

none of them were either forced
or prohibited.

Pachacamac

is, thus, a good example

of a place that brings together
the cultures and beliefs

of those who had inhabited this country.

It's a place declared
as a historic heritage

that holds the archeological treasures
of iconic past cultures.

It is in our Latin America

where different cultures
and traces of the world meet.

Peru stands as the example
of tolerance and coexistence.

This country is a treasure in itself.

Within its people and traditions

lie its most precious treasure.

Congruity of ancestral civilizations,

influence, and descendants

of civilizations from every continent.

It is through its culture and customs

and even its culinary tradition
that this country exists.

It is through the races and ethnicities
that have lived here,

and through the understanding
of the nature that surrounds it

that we can comprehend the relation
between men and the environment.

It is through knowledge

that we can grasp the importance
of preserving and knowing our past.

It is through the appreciation
of the land we live in

that we can work
toward a conscious preservation.

Protect it as the pride it represents
and show it to the entire world.

Unity made us different,

and unity can make us great in the future.

It's here where we find Peru,

a hidden treasure.

Our treasure.
