Captain Francisco Pizarro formed a partnership in Panama with Diego de Almagro and the priest Hernando de Luque in order to explore the Pacific coast‚ looking for a Biru tribe that became the name Peru.

enter the realm of an abandoned house left many years ago‚ and discover what secrets might be held inside. Before entering‚ I took a good observation of the outside. Vines had clung itself to the outer walls of the house‚ while the top floor window looked as if a baseball had been thrown through it.

We stayed in a little house and then a couple months later moved into the house I live in now. It is a large old house that sits adjacent to a farm‚ a forest and a street.

It has three floors and the entire house is built up above the ground level. All the rooms are designed and decorated in beach style with gleaming hardwood
