Today our host Mauricio Izquierdo takes us first to Buenos Aires to visit the Raiz food festival, which promotes the country’s gastronomy and food customs and even features cooking lessons. Here, local independent producers offer meats, pizzas, and pastries, as well as Bolivian peanut soup, Peruvian ceviche and Venezuelan arepas. Then it’s on to Lima, for a look at historical Peruvian art. A permanent exhibit of 1700 pieces in the city’s Museum of Art features a special collection of Pre-Colombian art and ceramics. teleSUR
