The intricacies of dating in Perú

The Alternative Peru team loves Peru duh! This list was composed by Alternative Peru co-founder Natalie, a Belgian native, from her own experience when she first came to Peru. Without a doubt, traffic and the way people behave in traffic deserve the top spot. Nobody lets anyone pass and therefore no one is going anywhere. Try to figure that out if you use a roundabout in Peru for the first time or for the th time for that matter! I got stuck in the middle of a roundabout for 30 minutes once. I like to eat and I like Peruvian food, but I just cannot finish a Peruvian serving. It might be a stereotype, but this one is a very true one. Peruvian time. If you invite people at 7pm, then you can expect them to arrive around 9pm this is not an exaggeration.

During my time living in Spain and Peru, I thought it essential to take my immersion into the country as far as possible. That, for me, meant dating the local men. Dating locals is an awesome way to not only have a passionate love affair , but also to improve foreign language skills, see parts of a city or country unknown to tourists, and experience a place through the eyes of a local. And, of course, it never hurts to have some arm candy abroad.

Why You’ll Want to Date a Local in Peru

In Peru, there is a general expectation that individuals remain loyal and committed to their family by putting the interests of their family before their own. Similarly, these close-knit family relations help provide a network of security and support, especially in times of need. Families will often sacrifice much to provide a good education for their children, and in return, children usually care for their parents as they age. The family dynamic and household structure vary, based largely on social classes and geographic regions.
