The Long Way back Home by

Pisaq 2007, Peru’ !

I visited the ruin of Pisaq, near Cusco just a few days ago.. it’s a long way up at an altitude of about 3600 mt, it takes about 3 hours if you are not use to it and that’s my case.. the ruin is divided in different sections, so it is like discovering things during the walk. I was on my way to the Temple of the Sun when I met Isidora with her son on their way back home… !
I love this picture because in my opinion show perfectly the idea I´ve always had of Peru’, his native people and the wonderful landscape !!!
