My only advice is when you buy land in Peru as in any other country MAKE sure you get a title or deed to that property. If the land can't be deeded DO NOT buy it. Land grabbing is the same ALL over the world. You are relativity safe in buying land if you go to a very reputable Notary. I went to one ...
Are you in Lima? Go to wong or any other major supermarket in the dairy section you will find creama de leche (most likely spelled wrong) I use it all the time it makes great whipped cream. Bobby

Writing anything on the internet is a bad idea. Remember anything you put in writing will always be there for someone to use against you. Just my thoughts. Bobby
