    Mejor invitenme a una chicha de su pais, una chicha de maiz, por aqui se hace tambien, pero creo que la preparacion es diferente.

    Bueno, no importa aunque arrugue el rostro me voy a beber otro masato y les regalo una pagina mas de cultura de su pais. SCHLIMIA APLINA.


    Schlimmia alpina Rchb. f. & Warscewicz

    AKA: N/A.

    ORIGIN/HABITAT: Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. These epiphytic orchids
    have been found in the department of Antioquia in Colombia at 6400-10,000
    ft. (1950-3048 m). In Ecuador, plants have bee found in Pichincha Province
    at 3950 ft. (1200 m), in Napo Province at 5650 ft. (1720 m), and in
    Pastaza Province between Baños and Puyo at 3300 ft. (1000 m). In Ecuador,
    plants reportedly grow in very wet montane cloudforest. A collection has
    also been reported in Venezuela where a plant was found in 1980 in the
    state of Yaracay at 3600-4900 ft. (1100-1500 m).

    CLIMATE: Station #84163, Puyo, Ecuador, Lat. 1.6S, Long. 77.9W, at 3117
    ft. (950 m). Temperatures are calculated for an elevation of 3600 ft.
    (1100 m), resulting in probable extremes of 86F (30C) and 46F (8C).

    Cultural Recommendations:

    LIGHT: 1800-2500 fc. Light should be rather shaded and filtered or
    diffused Plants should not be exposed to direct midday sun. Strong air
    movement should be provided at all times.

    TEMPERATURES: Throughout the year, days average 75-79F (24-26C), and
    nights average 59-61F (15-16C), with a diurnal range of 16-20F (9-11C).
    Because of the range in habitat elevation, plants may adapt to conditions
    about 6F (3C) cooler than indicated.

    HUMIDITY: 85-90% year-round.

    WATER: Rainfall is very heavy throughout the year. Plants should be
    watered heavily while actively growing, but drainage must be excellent and
    conditions around the roots should always be open and well aerated.

    FERTILIZER: 1/4-1/2 recommended strength, applied weekly when plants are
    actively growing. Many growers prefer to use a balanced fertilizer
    throughout the year; but others use a high-nitrogen fertilizer from spring
    to midsummer, then switch to one high in phosphates in late summer and
    autumn.

    REST PERIOD: Growing conditions should be maintained all year. Cultivated
    plants should never dry out completely, but they may need less water when
    they are not actively growing. This is especially true if plants are
    growing in the dark, short-day conditions common in temperate latitudes.
    Fertilizer should be reduced if water is reduced.

    GROWING MEDIA: To accommodate the pendent inflorescences that emerge from
    the base of the pseudobulbs and to meet the plant's need year-round
    moisture, these plants are probably more easily managed if grown in a
    hanging basket that has been lined with sphagnum moss and filled with an
    open, fast-draining medium. Growers generally recommend medium that
    retains some moisture but does not become soggy and allows the roots to
    dry fairly rapidly after watering. Hawkes (1965) recommended the addition
    of chopped sphagnum to the medium since these plants usually grow
    throughout the year and need constant moisture at the roots. These plants
    reportedly are extremely intolerant of stale conditions around the roots,
    however, and should be repotted into fresh compost at the first sign of
    the medium breaking down. Repotting or dividing is best done when new root
    growth is just starting, but should be done immediately if the potting mix
    has become stale or soggy.

    MISCELLANEOUS NOTES: The bloom season shown in the climate table is based
    on cultivation records.

    Plant and Flower Information:

    PLANT SIZE AND TYPE: A clump-forming epiphyte with growths to 12 in. (30
    cm) tall closely spaced on a short rhizome..

    PSEUDOBULB/STEM: 2.4 in. (6 cm) long by 1.2 in. (3 cm) wide toward the
    base. The pear-shaped pseudobulbs are enclosed by sheaths when young, but
    these are short-lived, and the older pseudobulbs are bare, laterally
    flattened, and longitudinally grooved.

    LEAVES: Up to 11 in. (27 cm) long by 2.4 in. (6 cm) wide. A single large,
    fanlike leaf with a sharply pointed tip is carried at the apex of the
    pseudobulb. It has a long, tapering, longitudinally folded, U-shaped stem
    at the base and has strong longitudinal veins on the lower side.

    INFLORESCENCE: Up to 6 in. (15 cm) long, including the long, terete
    peduncle that is completely enclosed by close-fitting, overlapping,
    tubular sheaths. The descending to pendulous inflorescence is produced
    laterally from the base of the pseudobulb. Flowers are carried in a
    cluster at the apex.

    FLOWERS: 3-6 per inflorescence. The tubelike flowers have sepals that
    project forward to form the tubular blossom. They are free and flare
    outward only slightly near their tips. Flowers are cream-colored to white
    and are marked with red dots. The callus at the base of the lip is yellow.
    The lanceolate dorsal sepal is bluntly pointed, slightly concave, about 1
    in. (2.5 cm) long by 0.4 in. (1 cm) wide above the middle, and is held in
    a rather stiff, forward-pointing position all the way to the tip. The
    lateral sepals, which are held uppermost, are joined to form a deep,
    helmetlike sack. If separated, the lateral sepals are similar in size to
    the dorsal sepal bur are sickle-shaped. The spatulate petals, which spread
    gradually from a narrow base, are narrowly triangular toward the apex,
    have bluntly pointed tips, and curve outward so that the apical portion is
    horizontally spreading or even pointed somewhat toward the rear. The
    extremely small lip has a rectangular base, bluntly pointed and triangular
    lateral lobes, and a sharply pointed, lanceolate midlobe. The rounded
    callus extends from the base of the lip to the base of the midlobe
    Overall, the flowers are about 1.3 in. (3.3 cm) long, about 0.4 in. (1 cm)
    in diameter along the tubular basal portion, and about 1.2 in. (3 cm) wide
    across the spreading tips of the petals. The lip is 0.4 in. (0.9 cm) long
    by 0.2 in. (0.6 cm) wide across the lateral lobes which are less than 0.1
    in. (0.3 cm) long by about 0.06 in. (0.15 cm) wide at the base, The
    midlobe is about 0.2 in. (0.5 cm) long by 0.1 in. (0.3 cm) wide near the
    middle. The slender column is about 0.4 in. (1 cm) long and has a birdlike
    beak at the apex.

    Les dejo una cultura mas.

    Angulo virgininalis, aun creo que es la especie es una variacion de la uniflora.
    En que zona crece esta?.

    Anguloa virginalis Linden ex B. S. Williams

    AKA: Anguloa uniflora var. maculata Linden

    ORIGIN/HABITAT: Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Specific
    habitat location and elevation in Colombia has not been reported, but
    Escobar (1994) reported that this species is grown at Colomborquideas, a
    nursery near Medellín, and that they grow in a cool environment at
    5900-8200 ft.(1800-2500 m). Kennedy (1976) reported plants found near
    Tingo Maria in Peru at 1500 ft. (450 m) and from near Yaupi at 7000 ft.
    (2130 m). In Bolivia, plants have been found in the department of
    Cochabamba where they grow terrestrially on steep, humid hillsides at
    5900-7200 ft. (1800-2200 m),

    CLIMATE: Station #80110, Medellín, Colombia, Lat. 6.2N, Long. 75.6W, at
    4916 ft. (1498 m). Temperatures are calculated for an elevation of 6550
    ft. (2000 m), resulting in probable extremes of 87F (30C) and 36F (2C).

    Cultural Recommendations:

    LIGHT: 1500-2500 fc. Light should be somewhat filtered or diffused, and
    plants should not be exposed to direct midday sun. Strong air movement
    should be provided at all times.

    TEMPERATURES: Throughout the year, days average 75-79F (24-26C), and
    nights average 53-56F (11-13C), with a diurnal range of 20-25F (11-14C).
    If an evaporative cooler is used in the growing area, these plants should
    thrive if placed in the cool, moist airflow near the outlet.

    HUMIDITY: 70-75% year-round, but values may be somewhat greater in the
    high-elevation habitat.

    WATER: Rainfall is moderate to heavy for most of the year, decreasing into
    a 2- to 3-month slightly drier period in winter. Cultivated plants should
    be watered often while actively growing. The roots, while needing to dry
    slightly between waterings, should never be allowed to become completely
    dry. On the other hand, care should be taken to ensure that conditions
    around the roots never become stale or soggy.

    FERTILIZER: 1/4-1/2 recommended strength, applied weekly when plants are
    actively growing. Many growers prefer to use a balanced fertilizer
    throughout the year; but others use a high-nitrogen fertilizer from spring
    to midsummer, then switch to one high in phosphates in late summer and
    autumn.

    REST PERIOD: Growing conditions should be maintained all year. Water may
    be reduced somewhat in winter, particularly when plants are grown in the
    dark, short-day conditions common in temperate latitudes. Plants should
    never be allowed to dry out completely, however. Fertilizer should also be
    reduced if water is reduced.

    GROWING MEDIA: These plants probably are best grown in pots. For Anguloa
    species in general, Hawkes (1965) recommended a well-drained compost of
    about 3 parts good rich loam or sifted soil, 1.5 parts slightly chopped
    osmunda fiber, about 0.5 part fresh sphagnum moss, and a rather small
    quantity of dried, shredded leaves. He reported that some success had been
    obtained by using a compost of straight, sifted chunks of fir bark in very
    well-drained pots. A mix of shredded tree-fern fiber with some coarse
    perlite and a little chopped sphagnum added should also work well. One
    grower reported success using a mixture of 50 percent (by volume) of
    chopped sphagnum moss and horticultural grade Perlite [approx. 1/16 to 1/8
    inch (2 to 4 mm) in diameter].

    MISCELLANEOUS NOTES: The bloom season shown in the climate table is based
    on cultivation records.

    Plant and Flower Information:

    PLANT SIZE AND TYPE: A large terrestrial plant with growths to 26 in. (65
    cm) tall that are clustered along a short rhizome.

    PSEUDOBULB/STEM: 5 in. (12 cm) long by 2 in. (5 cm) wide. The pseudobulb
    is thick, dark green, is surrounded at the base when young by short-lived,
    overlapping, longitudinally folded sheaths, and becomes longitudinally
    grooved or wrinkled with age..

    LEAVES: To 22 in. (55 cm) long by 7 in. (18 cm) wide. Two to four thin,
    strongly veined leaves with fanlike longitudinal folds are carried at the
    apex of the pseudobulb. They are rather bluntly pointed at the apex, are
    narrowed and overlapping below where they become longitudinally folded to
    form a U-shaped base, and are usually deciduous at the end of the growing
    season.

    INFLORESCENCE: About 9 in. (22 cm) long. The erect inflorescences are
    produced from the base of a young pseudobulb before it is fully developed.
    The peduncle is enclosed by overlapping bracts that become inflated toward
    the apex of the stem.

    FLOWERS:. 1 per inflorescence, but more than one inflorescence may be
    produced. The fleshy blossoms, which are somewhat flattened and one of the
    smallest flowers in the genus, vary in color from white to pink and may at
    times be densely spotted with pink on the inside of the sepals and petals.
    The sepals and petals are held in erect positions, forming a cup. The
    dorsal sepal is 2.6 in. (6.5 cm) long by 1.2 in. (3 cm) wide, while the
    slightly smaller lateral sepals are 2.4 in. (6 cm) long by about 1.2 in.
    (3 cm) wide, and the petals are 2 in. (5 cm) long by 1 in. (2.5 cm) wide.
    The fleshy lip, which is 2 in. (5 cm) long by 1.6 in. (4 cm) wide, is
    erect and is articulated and hinged to the column foot. The lateral lobes
    are erect with revolute margins, while the small midlobe is triangular to
    heart-shaped and is recurved. A fleshy callus extends the length of the
    lip. The column is fleshy and has elongated, earlike appendages near the
    apex. are in. ( cm) across.

    LA CRUZ DEL NAVEGANTE

    [​IMG]

    Posiblemente fueron hombres Astrónomos de la Cultura Nazca quienes construyeron este geoglifo, que no fue puesto allí para que los viajeros pasaran delante de el sin reparar en su presencia. Se asocia el Geoglifo a la Constelación de la Cruz del Sur, conocida también como la Cruz de los navegantes, por indicar a los marinos del hemisferio Sur la ubicación del Polo Austral por medio de su eje principal que les servirá de guía y orientación en sus viajes. De cada uno de los brazos laterales, arranca su correspondiente poste, paralelo al eje principal, del que equivaldría al eje de la cruz del Sur, Guillermo Illescas en las meditadas investigaciones acerca de este Geoglifo, lo ha identificado plenamente con la Cruz del Sur y algunas estrellas de la constelación Centauro que serían las que le dan su peculiar forma de Candelabro. “Volviendo los ojos al cielo podríamos comprobar -dice- que un poco más a la izquierda (Al oriente) de la estrella Beta Cruz y un poco más arriba de ella (Al norte) se encuentra la estrella Pi Centauro, la misma que al unirse con la estrella correspondiente de dicha constelación mediante una proyección generada entre las estrellas que se indican, serviría para determinar el poste lateral de ese lado resultando de ese modo, paralelo al eje principal.

    Ufff!, si, aqui a la chicha de maíz la llamamos chicha de Jora, aunque también tiene muchas variantes según la región en que se prepare....mi madre es del Norte así que se prepara una chicha de Jora que para que les cuento. La Jora es una variedad muy especial de maíz...creo que sólo se encuentra aqui , en Perú. también tenemos la chicha morada, que es preparada con otro tipo de maíz, morado, que se podría decir es "endémica" de mi país..jejejejje!.pero esta no es un licor, solo un refresco.

    Norman, sobre la orquidea...si, se la encontraba, entre otros lugares, en los valles de Lima, pero ya se la considera casi extinta. aunque hay laboratorios que están abocados en recuperarlas.

    Eriopsis biloba Lindley

    AKA: Eriopsis colombiana Schlechter, Eriopsis fuerstenbergii Kränzlin,
    Eriopsis grandibulbosa Ames and Schweinfurth, Eriopsis mesae Kränzlin,
    Eriopsis rhytidobulbon Lemaire, Eriopsis rotudibulbon Hooker, Eriopsis
    rutidobulbon Hooker, Eriopsis schomburgkii (Rchb. f.) Rchb. f., Eriopsis
    werckeleyi Schlechter, Pseuderiopsis schomburgkii Rchb. f.

    ORIGIN/HABITAT: Costa Rica to Brazil and Peru. In Costa Rica, plants grow
    in the mountains above 2600 ft. (800 m). In Panama, they are sometimes
    found in Chiriquí Province at about 6000 ft. (1830 m), but they are more
    often found in wet forests north of El Valle de Antón in Coclé Province.
    In Venezuela, this orchid is found at many locations in the cooler regions
    of Venezuelan Guayana in Bolívar State and the Federal Territory of
    Amazonas. Plants are found on Mt. Roraima as well as other mountains and
    mesas at elevations of 3500-8400 ft. (1070-2560 m). In Brazil, plants are
    found in the State of Amazonas, but specific habitat was not reported. In
    Peru, plants are found near Moyobamba in the Department of San Martín,
    where they grow on trees in mountain forests at 3600 ft. (1100 m).
    Schweinfurth (1958-1961) reports that Eriopsis colombiana Schlechter,
    which is now considered a synonym of Eriopsis biloba, has been found near
    Pataz in the Department of La Libertad at 5900-6550 ft. (1800-2000 m).

    CLIMATE: Station #80462, Santa Elena, Venezuela, Lat. 4.6N, Long. 61.1W,
    at 2976 ft. (907 m). Temperatures are calculated for an elevation of 6000
    ft. (1830 m), resulting in probable extremes of 85F (29C) and 38F (3C).

    Cultural Recommendations:

    LIGHT: 2000-3000 fc. Fairly shady conditions with filtered or diffused
    light are required. Eriopsis biloba should not be placed in direct, midday
    sun. Strong air movement should be provided at all times.

    TEMPERATURES: Throughout the year, days average 71-74F (22-23C), and
    nights average 49-54F (10-12C), with a diurnal range of 18-23F (10-13C).
    Because of the large area of distribution and the wide range of habitat
    elevation, Eriopsis biloba should adapt to conditions 6-8F (3-4C) cooler
    or warmer than indicated in the preceding climate table. If an evaporative
    cooler is used to cool the growing area, Eriopsis biloba thrives if placed
    in the cool, moist airflow near the outlet, particularly on very hot, dry
    days.

    HUMIDITY: 85-90% from late spring into autumn, dropping to 75-80% in
    winter and early spring.

    WATER: Rainfall is moderate to heavy most of the year with slightly drier
    conditions in winter and early spring. The winter dry season is somewhat
    more severe in other parts of the habitat, however. Plants should be
    watered heavily while actively growing, but conditions around the roots
    should never become stale or soggy. Water should be reduced somewhat after
    new growths have matured in autumn.

    FERTILIZER: 1/4-1/2 recommended strength, applied weekly when plants are
    actively growing. Many growers use a balanced fertilizer throughout the
    year, but others prefer to use a high-nitrogen fertilizer from spring to
    midsummer, then switch to a high-phosphate formula in late summer and
    autumn.

    REST PERIOD: Growing conditions should be maintained all year. Plants need
    less water in winter, particularly if they grown in the dark, short-day
    conditions common in temperate latitudes. However, plants should never dry
    out completely. Fertilizer should be reduced or eliminated until new
    growth starts and heavier watering is resumed in spring.

    GROWING MEDIA: Pridgeon (1993) recommends that terrestrial species such as
    Eriopsis biloba be grown in well-drained clay pots with potting mixes used
    for Cyrtopodium species. Hawkes (1965) reported that these plants require
    constant moisture at the roots although soggy compost must be studiously
    avoided. He further suggested a mix of chopped sphagnum moss added to
    shredded tree-fern fiber or chopped osmunda. Chunky perlite added to the
    mix will help keep the medium open and also retain some moisture.
    Including charcoal in the mix also helps hold the medium open and keeps it
    from becoming sour. Plants should be repotted immediately if the medium
    starts to break down or whenever the plant outgrows its container.
    Repotting done just as new roots start to grow enables the plant to become
    reestablished in the shortest possible time.

    MISCELLANEOUS NOTES: The bloom season shown in the climate table is based
    on cultivation records.

    Plant and Flower Information:

    PLANT SIZE AND TYPE: A large, 17-37 in. (44-95 cm) sympodial epiphyte or
    terrestrial.

    PSEUDOBULB: 6-18 in. (15-45 cm) long by 1.2-3.1 in. (3-8 cm) wide. The
    extremely variable subterete to egg-shaped pseudobulbs are clustered on
    the rhizome. Pseudobulbs, which may be dark purple-brown or greenish
    brown, are smooth when young but develop many connecting wrinkles when
    mature.

    LEAVES: 12-20 in. (30-50 cm) long by 0.8-3.1 in. (2-8 cm) wide. Each
    growth normally carries a pair of thin, rigid, narrowly lanceolate to
    egg-shaped leaves, but as many as 4 can develop. The leathery leaves are
    shiny green on the upper surface, sharply pointed at the apex, and taper
    to a narrow, rather short, petiolelike base.

    INFLORESCENCE: Up to 43 in. (110 cm) long. Each erect to arching flower
    spike emerges at the base of a recently matured pseudobulb. Flowers are
    carried in an almost cylindrical raceme that may be up to 2.5 in. (6.4 cm)
    in diameter.

    FLOWERS: Up to 35. The waxy, fragrant blossoms usually open at the same
    time. Flowers widely spread, approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm) across, and vary
    in color as indicated by the large number of synonyms. Sepals and petals
    are most often golden yellow or brownish yellow with a variable degree of
    maroon or red-brown flush, particularly along the margins. However, this
    flush may be almost absent in some varieties. The lip has a small white
    midlobe that is spotted with red, and the much larger lateral lobes at the
    base of the lip are yellow to yellow-brown with darker veins with a
    variable amount of maroon. Frequently, the base of the lip has a very dark
    maroon to almost black spot. The column is white at the base but becomes
    pale green toward the apex. Sepals and petals are oblong-elliptic to
    elliptic, rounded at the tip, and somewhat concave. They are 0.8-1.0 in.
    (2.0-2.5 cm) long by 0.3-0.4 in. (0.7-1.0 cm) wide. Compared to the dorsal
    sepal, the slightly oblique lateral sepals are a little shorter but wider,
    and the petals are a little shorter but narrower. The broadly egg-shaped,
    concave lip is 3-lobed with very large, spreading, elliptic lateral lobes
    and a much smaller, spreading, 2-lobed midlobe. The lip is up to 0.9 in.
    (2.3 cm) long by 0.8 in. (2.1 cm) wide near the base. The callus has a
    pair of broad wavy or finely toothed flat plates which have a pair of
    separate teeth in front. The slender, terete, arching column is up to 0.4
    in. (1 cm) long.

    HYBRIDIZING NOTES: Chromosome count is 2n = 40.
