i-Cosmos (.PE .CL)
Pacific Ocean and Andes

The offer from i-Cosmos .PE .CL Information has been available with the E-Papers since 2025; we also call it the America offer because it goes beyond South America.
The Football World Cup reminds us that Ibero-America is also strongly connected, even in football.
The î-Cosmos project connects in information the biodiversity of the former Gondwana (among others, America (South America), Amazon river system, also northern Peru) with partial knowledge and knowledge from popular science, astronomical observatories, planetariums, and some space topics. These Spacetime moments continue to increase; one can be amazed at what is happening, also in Lima (Peru) and with the neighbors Chile (ESO observatories) or Argentina.
The Pacific has always attracted people, but the mountains have as well.
The Inca civilization (often called Inka) attracts tourists and goes beyond the current borders of Peru and Chile.

The most famous port in Peru is located in Callao, but the largest port is currently being developed further north of Lima; one can be curious about the upcoming developments in the Lima region.

Travel providers like to come to South America and want to further expand discovery trips, adventure trips, and study trips.
Large, longer trips attract people to South America, usually covering several countries, also from English-speaking countries. One more reason within the framework of this subpage to present Chile and Peru, on the west coast of South America, together. For example, students from both countries, Chile and Peru, studied in Europe, sometimes together.


The excursion steamers in the ports (for example Callao) on the west coast of South America can also expect that the fish comes from another area.
The fish species on the South American Pacific coast experience cold water, which is, however, nutrient-rich.
Did you know that the Peruvian anchovy swims here, an important fish on the west coast?
The Chilean hake (also Merluza) is considered a popular and frequent table fish on restaurant menus.
Fishermen on the west coast also catch yellowfin tuna in the Pacific.
Mackerel swim in large schools through the Pacific Ocean.
The sunfish (also Mola mola) is a peculiarity and a giant bony fish in the deep waters of the eastern Pacific. In the north of Peru, tourists can observe whales and their fins off the coast.

Earthquake and Tsunami Note: The fiery oceans of the Americas on the West Coast also know the earthquake problem, a reason why the Incas probably preferred the Andes. Information can therefore be important on the West Coast of the Americas not only in North America and California or Mexico.
Come and marvel at what you still do not know about the elongated Chile and the somewhat larger Peru. Not a few people travel to America multiple times, and often one of these two countries is included.
Have you been there?

The famous Pan-American Highway in Peru is already ca. 4,100 kilometers long. It crosses the entire Peruvian country from the Ecuadorian border (Equator and Amazon in the east of Peru) to the Chilean and Bolivian border in the south of the country.
The Pan-American Highway (Route 5) is again ca. 3,300 kilometers long in Chile and goes up to Quellón on the island of Chiloé in the south.
Chile itself is much longer. Depending on the view, around 4,300 kilometers, and when crossing the distance to the Antarctic region, one counts well over 8,000 kilometers of geological landmass.
Of course, Peru and Chile have Antarctic stations (Research stations).

Welcome to America, welcome to the myth of the Andes, welcome to the very large open sea of the Pacific Ocean!

What should one know about the west coast of South America and its people?
First of all, that even today, alongside the common language Spanish, variants of Ketschua (also Qichwa, Kichwa, Qhichwa, Quechua) are spoken almost everywhere, sometimes also other older languages.
Locally, 'in America' can be very relative; starting from the 1970s, parts of South America adopted the color television standard from North America.

The 1978 FIFA World Cup (™) in Argentina was broadcast in color according to the American television standard.
Even today, some programs are available from Florida down to Chile, and of course, here they are mostly transmitted in Spanish.
Today, the west coast of South America uses a modernized version (ISDB-T) of the digital television standard from Japan, which one might want to consider when preparing for a trip.

For the radio, it looks better for globetrotters, because FM (FM) 88.0 MHz to 108.0 MHz is also in use here and there is more going on than in the European atmosphere. In the cities, there is quite a bit of variety to listen to. Since this frequency range coincides, among others, with Australia, the United Kingdom, or Central Europe, the radio is probably travel luggage?

Frequent tourism tours in the area of Western South America are Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, or two of these countries in combination with another country, for example Argentina (sometimes also the Inca Empire (also Incareich)) or Brazil.

Peru is developing parts of the north into tourist destinations.

For a longer time, the current leader of the Catholics in the Vatican near Rome (Italy) was also here, who of course can speak, among other things, Spanish.

In addition, the countries of South America have been immigration countries for centuries, so there are also originally English-speaking people here in Generation X, they did not always come from Central Europe.
There is an English anecdote about the so-called Inca-Cola, and another about the original cola, as Coca was originally a plant that grows in South America and is processed into tea ('Mate de Coca'), among other things.

Even with a potato-based menu, they only need to make minor adjustments, as potatoes originate from South America.
