Lake Titicaca, on 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 (12,507 ft). Said to be the birthplace of the Incas, it’s home to numerous ruins. Its waters are famously still and brightly reflective.
Taquile is a hilly island located 45km east of Puno. It was used as a prison during the Spanish Colony and into the 20th century. In 1970 it became property of the Taquile people, who have inhabited the island since then (current population around 2,200). From the hillsides of Taquile, the white snow tops of the Bolivian mountains are visible.
The Taquileños, southern Quechua speakers, wear traditional clothes. Taquile is especially known for its handicraft tradition which is regarded as among the highest quality handicrafts not only in Peru but in the world.

Had an opportunity to go to the Peru Circus Friday night with the Photo Venture Camera Club. I had a wonderful time and thought the kids just did a phenomenal job. The irony about the situation was that I grew up in Peru and had never been to the circus until now. Many of the top circus shows dating back to the 1800's would have their winter camp in Peru. Terrific family event and I encourage everyone to go out and support the event
Moray is an archaeological site in Peru approximately 50 km (31 mi) northwest of Cuzco on a high plateau at about 3500 m (11,500 ft) and just west of the village of Maras. The site contains unusual Inca ruins, mostly consisting of several enormous terraced circular depressions, the largest of which is about 30 m (98 ft) deep.

Cusco, a city in the Peruvian Andes, was once capital of the Inca Empire, and is now known for its archaeological remains and Spanish colonial architecture. Plaza de Armas is the central square in the old city, with arcades, carved wooden balconies and Incan wall ruins.
There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.
Taking an image, freezing a moment, reveals how rich reality truly is.
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.
Peru is a magical destination, abundant with ancient ruins dating back to the Incas.
Peru is the third largest country in South America, after Brazil and Argentina.

Took a break from landscapes and Snow mountains. This time in PERU. Streets, Colorful people, 3399meters altitude, less oxygen, llamas, cocoa tea..list continues. People come to Peru to see Machu Picchu. We are going there as well. But this time since I got bored with landscape, thought of spending some time clicking people and colors.
Day 1: Peru - Cusco - Still haven't got our luggage. Its stuck somewhere in Miami. We are roaming around wearing the same dress for the second day. Since llamas smell as bad as us, no one is noticing it. My innerwears are almost near to the Chernobyl radiation level. I hope we will get the luggage tomorrow. Very less people speak English here. We are managing with "Ola" and "Gracias". This is the third day am having sleep less nights. That plus mountain sickness is giving me high. These red colors are getting into my head. We went to Chinchero village in the evening and spend time with a weaving family. They were nice and polite. Cusco is dusty like LEH, but colorful like Morocco. Old streets, Inca ruins, lot of things pending here. Will update details soon.
Day 2. Went to Pisac market which is ~40kms from Cusco. Colorful market. Paradise for shopping.
Day 3: Machu Picchu, an Incan city of sparkling granite precariously perched between 2 towering Andean peaks, is thought by scholars to have been a sacred archaeological center for the nearby Incan capital of Cusco. Built at the peak of the Incan Empire in the mid-1400s, this mountain citadel was later abandoned by the Incas. The site remained unknown except to locals until 1911, when it was rediscovered by archaeologist Hiram Bingham. The site can only be reached by foot, train or helicopter; most visitors visit by train from nearby Cusco.
Photography is the story I fail to put into words.

Huanchaco in Peru is the perfect surfing location for backpackers. They share the shoreline with fishermen, seen in the background of the photo, who have been using these narrow, canoe-like, reed boats (called "caballitos" - little horses) to fish for centuries.
