A couple of ceramic Bulls stand on the middle of most rooftops in Cuzco where they stand as if on a hilltop looking out on the rolling, downward-sloping pastures of orange tiles. This powerful image is one of good fortune and protection for the house and the families that inhabit it.
People place two bulls in the middle of the highest part of the house. They face in the same direction as the houses and in between them rises a cross, both a Christian symbol and something related to Illapa, the thunder god, flags, and metal roosters. Generally they are placed when the houses are finished but before the people begin living in them.

Machu Picchu stands 2,430 m above sea-level, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. It was probably the most amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height; its giant walls, terraces and ramps seem as if they have been cut naturally in the continuous rock escarpments. The natural setting, on the eastern slopes of the Andes, encompasses the upper Amazon basin with its rich diversity of flora and fauna.
While visiting Machu Picchu in Peru, we saw small animals that resemble squirrels or rabbits around the ruins. While often confused as chinchillas, these animals are actually viscachas, a relative of the chinchilla. Viscachas are closely related to chinchillas but are slightly larger and more resemble rabbits with long squirrel tails.

This pre-Colombian Inca site in Peru, is a top tourist draw with its classic Inca temples and other buildings. Referred to as the "The Lost City of the Incas", these Inca villages and temples blending themselves with the seamlessly-green hillside, provide its visitors with a beautiful, magical experience.
With the primary meanings of Peruvian lilies being friendship and devotion, these precious flowers are sure to express your most playful sentiments. The vibrant and long-lasting Peruvian lily is native to South America, but its appeal has spread far beyond the land of its origin.
Quechua women's dress today is rooted in traditions from pre-conquest Peru (a fusion of Inca and Huari cultures), and Spanish Colonial peasant dress (often with some modern touches).
In the Peruvian High Andes, each village has a unique style of clothing that identifies the wearer as belonging to that region.
Indigenous women in the Andes dress in layers of bright, colorful traditional Andean clothing, including capes, shawls, embroidered skirts, and vibrantly colored hats.
However many women dress in modern clothing these days, and wear their traditional garb for special occasions. Increasingly, young women who live in Cusco and other urban centers choose to wear modern clothing, but may revert to traditional Andean clothing when back in their villages.*
I was looking for the Nazca lines today over Peru, and when I thought I had them, it turned out to be… irrigation fields. Still beautiful
Je cherchais les géoglyphes de Nazca et en fait j’ai pris en photo… des champs irrigués péruviens ! Ça fait quand même de belles images

Chinchero conocida como la ciudad del Arco Iris está ubicada a 28 km. al noroeste de la ciudad del Cusco, sobre los 3160 msnm., flanqueada por los nevados de Salkantay, Verónica y Soray. La vista desde aquí es impresionante. Chinchero pertenece a la provincia de Urubamba, departamento de Cusco
Chinchero, la población más típica del Valle Sagrado de los Incas, es una ciudad netamente incaica que los conquistadores quisieron "civilizar" para implantar su cultura, pero nunca lo lograron totalmente. Sus pobladores habitan las construcciones incaicas casi intactas, en el mismo lugar donde sus lejanos antepasados vivieron y formaron la civilización más grande y próspera de América.
En el Conjunto Arqueológico de Chinchero llama la atención inicialmente sus andenes, lo que permite entender que fue un centro de producción agrícola en la época inca, también se construyo un almacén y se doto a todo el complejo de un sistema de regadío muy eficiente. La historia cuenta que con la llegada de los españoles, Chinchero fue incendiada en 1536 por Manco Inca, en su huida hacia Vilcabamba, con el objetivo de no dejarles nada a los españoles.
Sobre el Palacio de Tupac Yupanqui los españoles levantaron la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Monserrat en 1607, con la finalidad de representar su sometimiento de forma simbólica. Su Altar mayor tallado en pan de oro y estilo barroco está dedicado a la Virgen de la Natividad. Sus paredes están decoradas con obras de Diego Quispe Tito el máximo representante de la escuela cusqueña. También hay trabajos de Francisco Chihuantito.
En Chinchero el pasado persiste obstinadamente, como si el espíritu de una cultura milenaria se aferrara en este lugar, negándose a desaparecer. Los pobladores nativos, ataviados con coloridos trajes típicos, bajan de sus comunidades los domingos y se aglomeran en la plaza principal para intercambiar sus productos. Ver a todo este grupo de gente de raíces culturales profundas, ajenos a todo signo de modernidad, resulta todo un espectáculo.
En la concurrida y colorida feria dominical de chinchero se puede encontrar objetos de uso domestico, algunos verdaderamente antiguos como los famosos textiles de chinchero. En este pueblo, con comunidades unidas se ha podido conservar un patrimonio vivo, inmaterial, de extraordinario valor, que se expresa tanto en la textilería como en las prácticas agrícolas y en una red de relaciones familiares y comunitarias. En los talleres de las asociaciones de artesanas se exponen diariamente todo el proceso del tejido, desde el lavado de la lana, hasta el producto final, se aprende de las técnicas de hilado, teñido y tejido.
Desde Chinchero se puede acceder a la bella Laguna de Huaypo y al pueblo de Piuray. Chinchero es reconocido también por ser un pueblo de talentosos artesanos textiles.

Lake Titicaca, straddling the border between Peru and Bolivia in the Andes Mountains, is one of South America's largest lakes and the world’s highest navigable body of water. Said to be the birthplace of the Incas, it’s home to numerous ruins. Its waters are famously still and brightly reflective. Around it is Titicaca National Reserve, sheltering rare aquatic wildlife such as giant frogs.

The Peruvian Meadowlark reminds me of a mix of a Red-winged Blackbird and an Eastern Meadowlark, especially the females and young males. This one was hanging out next to the beach a little south of Lima.

Isole Ballestas.
Le falesie e le grotte modellate da anni di erosione di mare e venti.
Sulla sommità, costruzioni utilizzante nella raccolta del guano.
Il guano, nel secolo scorso, è stato una notevole risorsa economica per il Perù.
Utilizzato come fertilizzante naturale è stato esportato in tutto il mondo.
Lo strato di guano, deposto dagli uccelli, raggiungeva anche i 10 metri, ora la raccolta è regolamentata da leggi statali.
Ballestas Islands.
The cliffs and caves shaped by years of sea and wind erosion.
On the summit, buildings used in the collection of guano.
The guano, in the last century, has been a remarkable economic resource for Peru.
Used as a natural fertilizer, it has been exported all over the world.
The guano layer, deposited by the birds, reached even 10 meters, now the collection is regulated by state laws.
