Quechua Colors

Ayacucho, Peru !

Quechua and Aymara were the main languages spoken by the native people of the central highland of South America before the arrival of the spanish !
In the rural areas of Ayacucho, in central Peru, like in the areas around Cusco the majority of native people still speaks Quechua and some of them barely spanish !
I didn´t meet many tourists during the time spent in this part of Peru and i really felt immerse in a different reality !

It is wonderful that there were not many tourists around. When I was in different countries I liked it best when I was not with other tourists. it gives you a better feel for the place. Wonderful work, Ale. I do so love this one.
Alessandro Pinto replied

Thanks Maureen.. but I can tell you that getting to this place was really hard ! I discovered later there is a small airport ! But in this trip I really had a better idea of the place !
