The Faces of Peru

| Comments (4)
Peru.JPGOur current issue has a fantastic story about trekking "The High Road to Machu Picchu" by Scott Wallace, and I'm already tired just looking at photographer Aaron Huey's shots of the craggy Peruvian mountains. But I'm just smitten with this gallery of Peruvian faces we just put up on our site. So many smiling faces, and the gorgeous colors of their fabrics remind me of our friend Lolly's knitting quest. Check out the entire set here.

This photo is wonderful!, When I traveled to Cuzco, I had the opportunity to do the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and I was impressed by the beauty of the area, is amazing. I also saw people wearing clothing that is presented in this photo and we shared with them a little. That way I learned most of their customs and traditions. For me, this trip would have been possible without the help of the travel agency I hired, TurPeru who organized all my activities in Cuzco and made my stay more pleasant. I recommend you, if you want more information the web is www.turperu.com.pe

The Inca in Peru are so different from the Maya in Guatemala. However, the sadness and their tough lives are in all eyes. I was in Cuzco and the beauty of the place and hardships of these people is truly interesting to feel and observe.
This picture captures that feeling.
