Bucharest, the capital and largest city of Romania, is located in the middle of the Danube River Plain in the southeast of the country and is a political, economic and cultural center. The historic city is a blend of Orthodox, Byzantine and French flavors, and was once known as "Little Paris". The old town has preserved medieval buildings and Orthodox churches, while the iconic Palace of the Parliament (now the Palais des Congrès), the world's second-largest administrative building, is an imposing sight. As the economic hub of Romania, Bucharest has a vibrant and diverse mix of industrial, technological and service companies, as well as universities and cultural institutions.
Acarí, Peru is located in the Arequipa region of southern Peru, in the coastal desert, a transitional area between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. With its arid climate and abundant sunshine, its unique natural environment has given rise to a rich traditional agricultural culture, and the local people make a living by growing cotton, grapes and tropical fruits, forming a unique desert oasis landscape. Acari retains the traditional handicrafts of southern Peru, especially textile and pottery making, reflecting the deep Indian cultural heritage of the region. Though small in size, the area is pristine and tranquil, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it an ideal place to experience rural life in southern Peru and an important stop to explore the ecological and cultural diversity of the Peruvian desert.
