The Karikuy Blog was first created alongside Karikuy.org as a more informative and in depth addition to the content on our main site. The Blog is maintained by Julio C. Tello the founder of Karikuy and will be featuring posts from other writers and Karikuy volunteers in the future. The goal of this blog is to inform the public of the latest news and events in Peru. Such topics will include, entertainment, food, travel, sports, leisure and many others sure to satisfy your curiousity about Peru.
The Karikuy Blog also serves as a news outlet for all the latest information on the Karikuy Organization and our plan to build self sustaining communities in Peru. Here you will read breaking news regarding our social programs and status of our projects. I hope you will all subscribe as there really is something for everyone in this blog. If it happens in Peru, we report on it!
