Construcción inca en la ciudad de Cuzco - Perú.
Obsérvese los 12 ángulos que tiene la piedra central sujeta sin ningún tipo de argamasa.

Inca construction in the city of Cuzco - Peru.
Note the 12 angles that the central stone has attached without any type of mortar.
In Aguas Calientes the hillsides are steep and the railway line runs along the bottom of the valley, which also happens to be a commercial district. I was surprised (although I don't know why) to see a mixed train standing in the street while men swarmed around unloading the freight cars. Prepare to see the unexpected in colourful Peru, you'll not be disappointed.
The Pacific coast along the Pan-American Highway (southern Peru) 20221120
Peru Highway 1, most widely known as Carretera Panamericana, is the most important highway in Peru.
This road is the Peruvian portion of the Pan-American Highway. It runs north–south through the whole length of the country and connects all major cities in the country's coastal area.
The northern terminus of the highway is located in the Macará International Bridge (Piura Region) at the border with Ecuador. Starting in this point, the highway is known as Carretera Panamericana Norte ("North Pan-American Highway") until it reaches a point located in central Lima, the country's capital.
Going south from this point, the highway is called Carretera Panamericana Sur ("South Pan-American Highway"), until it reaches the southern terminus, located in the Santa Rosa Border Post, in the Tacna Region at the border with Chile.

Peruvian Pelican - Pelecanus thagus - Though closely related, the Peruvian Pelican is almost twice as large as its northern congener, the Brown Pelican. The species breeds along the Pacific Coast of South America in Peru and Chile. Though still common, with about half a million breeding adults, the population has been negatively affected by strong El Niño fluctuations and changes in food fish populations, particularly anchoveta. Peruvian Pelicans are easily observed from shore as they fly back and forth in nearshore waters by means of soaring interrupted by deep, methodical wingbeats.

Small, plump bird with stout bill. Male mostly lime green with contrasting yellow belly and thin blue collar on nape and blue rump; some populations entirely blue above. Female similar but duller, with greener belly. Usually seen in pairs or small flocks, often in association with a fruiting tree. Forages at all levels, most frequently in the canopy.
This one was photographed in Northern Peru led by Neotropic Photo Tours and our Peruvian local guide for this portion of the trip; Fisher Chávez of Perú Nature Photography.
This one has Christmas colours, red and green. I’m not a fan as they are very intrusive in the garden.
they look like fancy ribbons to me.

Peruvian Lily in the garden.
Alstroemeria, also known as Peruvian, parrot, or princess lily, as well as lily of the Incas, is an exceptional cutting garden flower in the Alstroemeriaceae family.
There are about 80 species native to South America, with the greatest diversity in Chile. Thanks to today’s hybrids and cultivars, there’s a rainbow of options available for the home gardener.
These are so pretty in the garden and even nicer in a vase. I have two colours in the garden, pink and red.

Islas Flotantes de los Uros - Lago Titicaca.
Puno - Perú.
Los Uros construyen sus islas a base de "Totora" (Especie de junco abundante en el Lago Titicaca o Titikaka). Aunque no es su idioma originario, en la actualidad hablan el idioma "Aymara", Quechua y Español. Viven de la pesca y el turismo.

The Peruvian Lilies from my Christmas flowers.
If you have any of the Lily family of flowers in your house and also have a cat(s) beware. They are highly toxic / lethal to cats and they only need to ingest a tiny amount to kill them.
Better viewed large, and thank you for your favourites. :)

Nasca fault (Peru) 20221120
The Nazca Plate or Nasca Plate, named after the Nazca region in southern Peru, is an oceanic tectonic plate in the eastern basin of the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of South America. The ongoing subduction, along the Peru-Chile Trench, of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate is largely responsible for the Andean orogeny. The Nazca Plate is bounded to the west by the Pacific Plate and to the south by the Antarctic Plate through the East Pacific Rise and Chile Rise, respectively.
