There can’t be a better occasion to show your dad how much you love him than Father’s Day. Peru celebrates Fathers Day on the third Sunday of June. Here is how you can celebrate Father’s day in Peru.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Pisco/Chicha/Beer
  • Greeting Card
  • Scrapbook
  • Food including ingredients and recipes
  • Gift

Step1
Start by making your father’s morning special with his favorite breakfast. Serve some of the local classics, like tamales (boiled corn with meat or cheese and wrapped in a banana leaf) or Tacu Tacu (a dish made of beans and rice). You can also pick something from any other cuisine that your dad likes.
Step2
Consider taking your father out for a brunch or lunch if breakfast is not his thing.
Step3
Take him to his favorite restaurant or a new restaurant which serves his favorite cuisine.
Step4
Plan a homemade meal, which can be lunch for your father. Peruvian cuisine offers you a variety of recipes like sancochado (beef and vegetable stew), arroz con pollo (chicken served with rice), lima butter bean salad and ceviche (a type of marinated seafood salad). Decide the menu depending on your father’s taste.
Step5
Remember to serve your dad’s favorite drink with food. You can choose from traditional Peruvian drinks like Pisco and Chicha or any wine or beer instead if your father likes that more.
Step6
Finish off with his favorite dessert. Consider making a Peruvian one yourself. Choose from alfajores (sugar dusted cookies), turrones (a nougat based confection), helados (ice cream) or mazamorra morada (fruit compote).
Step7
Surprise him with a handmade card. Write a message in the card for your dad and tell him how special he is.
Step8
Reserve your whole day for dad. Time is the most precious thing you can give him. Do some of his favorite things together--fishing, watching a sports game on TV, going for movies and so on.
Step9
Gift him a thoughtful present. Select a gift that complements his hobbies. For instance, golf club membership or golf paraphernalia for the golfing father, gym membership to the fitness freak dad and so on. You can search for and order a gift (see Resources below).
Step10
Throw a party for your father. Invite your friends, relatives and dear ones. Prepare a few words for your father in advance to be spoken in the party. Speak out your heart at the party showing all the gratitude towards him.
Step11
Prepare a scrapbook for him in advance. Paste some of the best pictures of you and your dad. Label its cover page with a nice phrase such as "For the Best Father in the World." Place the scrapbook on his bed at night before he goes off to bed.

Tips & Warnings

  • Start preparing for the day in advance. This will save your time on Father’s Day and you can allocate enough time for your father.
  • Remember your grandfathers, elder brothers, uncles and even your teachers who helped you grow as a person. Make sure you give them a call and wish them a happy Father's Day.
