Then we moved to the second house, which was the Peruvian House "Casa Peruana". The idea of mixing Peruvian with Contemporary Ideas was very interesting. We were checking every room. They even had one for the Peruvian Dog, haha. I think Gunther would love it, since it has a bath tub, a small table for his friends and even a closet, haha. We saw a bar there. They had some Cuzquenas (beer), but I thought they were on sale... until a girl came and asked the guy if the beers were just on sale. The guy said they were for free. What?! Ok, we were thirsty and got 2 beers, haha. They weren't cold, but the wheater was a bit cool, so they were cold enough, haha. With our beer we kept on walking and ended the tour.
It was still early, didn't want to go back home and since we were in Barranco we went to the Angel's place just to chill out.

Ok, time to go back home. It was getting late. Plans for tomorrow? Well, with Mal we don't usually make plans. Just give a call 2 hours ahead, haha.

Casa cor Peru
Peruvian cultural is growing, not just in the gastronomy or fabric industry, but also in interior design. Casa Cor Peru is a yearly exposition, and this time its eighth exhibition was held in Barranco, where two houses were redesigned by three designers to visually present how Peru can tap into the interior design industry, with 82 expositors and over 53 spaces to enjoy. The 2 houses are focused on the modern and Peruvian style each.
Nevertheless this event is meant to be for architects and interior designers; everyone who likes the design and looks for ideas for the house’s rooms (private, social, lofts, business and exteriors) will enjoy it. The prestige of this exposition is growing yearly and not only because of the quality and esthetic of the exhibited spaces, but also for the spirit of solidarity. Founds are donated to a Children’s institution. So you will be able to help the children while you enjoy the creativity from the Peruvian Architects and Designers.
The first house is the “Casa Dasso”. Its modern and international style is showed in the 22 rooms. One of the rooms I liked the most was the “Estudio de la trotamundos” (“Globetrekker’s studio) which was an interesting idea. According to the decorator it was more than merely a decoration, it was about traveler’s nostalgia. There you can find somebody’s memories and experiences hanging on the walls, like a permanent way to remember them. Each object refers to a place and time.
The second house is the "La Casa Peruana", with a contemporary Peruvian style showed in 31 rooms. This project wants to show a place dedicated to the colors, textures, combinations and fabrics that represent the Peruvian Culture nowadays; which you can see in all the rooms of the house.
Besides the architectural exhibition, you will also be able to enjoy the Peruvian Gastronomy. One of the best cheffs of the country has a café at Casa Dasso; and at Casa Peruana you’d be able to find the “La Memoria del Sabor”, where you can taste Peruvian dishes. Also famous Peruvian artists donated pieces of arts to be exhibited and then sold to raise founds for the children.
If you are in town during October and are interested in see what’s going on with the Peruvian designers, visit Casacor. Just check their website before in order to know where it takes place. Every year they change locations and remodelate different buildings, private and public ones. When you visit Casacor, wear confy shoes, so you can enjoy a wonderful walking.
