Cusco to Pisac in the Scred Valley (cc) Shashi Bellamkonda Please feel free to use and credit www.shashi.name
Near the sacred valley and Machu Picchu. Here is a view of Cusco from our Hostel window. Taken by my brother.
Cusco was the site of the historic capital of the Inca Empire and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1983 by UNESCO. It is a major tourist destination and receives almost 2 million visitors a year.
Volunteers in Peru Cusco arriving day Brandi Sullivan and Keri Perkins Orphanage program.
Brandi: "There are two main reasons why I chose this program. One, I love children and want to help out with daily care for these underprivileged children. Children need hugs, kisses, and to be loved on. They need this in order to nourish. I chose Peru, because it is a country that I have always wanted to visit. Might as well follow my heart and help children in a country that is beautiful and needs the extra help"
Keri: "I have a passion for children and have also looked into international adoption. I cannot afford that right now so I found this program and am so excited to meet the local children and people, help out, and bring donations to them. I am picking a program with younger children mainly because I couldn't communicate effectively with any school aged kids".
A Broader View Volunteers at the Paucartambo Festivity Peru Cusco
The original Andean patrimonial festival takes place in a picturesque white-washed town with blue doors and windows. In mid-July of every year campesinos from all over the Sacred Valley trek to the small mountain town to dance in the festival of the Virgen Del Carmen. Though many Andean towns have patrimonial festivals with traditional dances that mix indigenous beliefs, local legend, and Catholic worship, Paucartambo's is the great-granddaddy of them all.

Uma celebração católica bem característica do Peru, com todo fervor religioso característico dos povos latinos, incluindo nisto alguns pontos folclóricos, como a influência dos mitos e lendas da região.
Neste dia grande parte da população se reune na Plaze de Armas, que fica no centro, para ver imagens de várias outras igrajas se reunirem na Catedral de Cusco. Uma festa de cores, fé e inteiração social.
