Cuzco Food Market. Peru.

I am taking some risk by setting up this presentation. These pictures  and the actual meat/beef section at the Cuzco food market are very graphic. I will start by mentioning that I am a vegetarian. Somehow I didn’t feel disgusted by the scenery, I was amazed how clean the place is, there weren’t the mass clouds of flies as I anticipated to see. I saw an abundance of tasty goodies there. The market place was loud, colorful and vibrant. People were setting their goodies, negotiating, smiling. The small kids were running in the aisles from one vendor to another, probably seeing the relatives or the other children to play with. The whole atmosphere was bright and healthy. In the meat aisle I noticed a dog pilfered a juicy piece of meat off the counter while the girl was chatting with her friends.

My Favorite Peruvian Women

I couldn’t take my eyes off them… At the times I didn’t photograph them, I just stared trying to memorize their costumes, their postures, their faces. Peruvian women are our very hard-working sisters. And, yes they are beautiful, they are harmonious with nature, their outfits   and their belongings. Honestly, I fell in love with them.

Peru. Cuzco.

Cuzco became one of the most touristy places in Peru. This is a very nice town with a lot of historical sites, mixture of Incas and Spanish architecture, authentic food market places and gift shops. It has plenty of cute hotels and great restaurants with wonderful  Peruvian cuisine.

Peru. Lake Titicaca.

Lake Titicaca is one of the highest lake in the world. It locates in Andes Mountains on the border of Peru and Bolivia. Visiting town Puno and floating island Uros in Peruvian water of the lake was one of the greatest highlight of my trip to Peru. I was amazed by the fact that Uru people can live on the islands made out of reeds. Actually, the whole existence of Uro residents depends on reeds and water in the lake. Life is very tough  there, but I found locals full of life, smiles, and just mind-blowing colors. The high altitude( 3800 m) made me a little sick in Puno, but visiting the place worths a little struggle.

Peru. Landscapes on the Road to Sacred Valley

Peru in April is gorgeous. The landscapes can be compared with Alps mountains in Switzerland, but I think , they are even better, sort of pristine. The scenery in Switzerland are sort of obstructed with all those civilization inventions: wires, cables, towers of all kind. I know we all need them, and I can Photoshop them away of my picture, but being in Peru let me appreciate that unspoiled, absolutely clean and fresh landscapes. My original album is huge, and I really had a difficult time to keep myself restrained of placing here 200 landscapes: they all worth to be selected.
