... At least for me ! / This picture was taken in Pisaq near Cusco, Peru’ in 2006 ! / The ruins of Pisaq is about 20 miles from Cusco and like the more famous Machu Picchu was an important city during the Inca empire. / It sprawled across three mountains at the altitude of about 3600 mts, offering visitors spectacular views.

Cusco, Peru ! During one of my daily walk in Cusco, I just sat and rest a little.. no other option at 3200 mt than take it easy..! the two women on the left made feel it was just the right moment to take this picture..!!!! /
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 !!!
Cusco, Peru’ ! / While walking in Cusco a few days ago I met this little girl, Flor, and her sister Yolanda ! I had already taken a picture of them last year ” Flor y Yolanda ” and when I showed them a copy of the photo.. they were so impressed that they asked me to take more pictures. This is just one of the many I took ! She is so confident and loves to be photographed !!! I love this picture for the way she poses here, the way she smiles, her spontaneity.. and the beautiful contrast of colors !!!

Cusco, Perú !!! / This is one of the first shot I took in Cusco this year !!! / I had just arrived and I was feeling a bit strange and not really in the mood to take pictures of people.. I was maybe thinking about life a bit too much ! / But when she passed by I said something funny to her and pressed the bottom !! / I´m glad i did !
Chinchero, Perú ! After chatting a bit with a few women in Chinchero and having a good laugh,.. I asked if I could take some pictures of them.. they were all very keen and looked relaxed and confident..!!! This is the one I probably like more !!!
Cusco, Perú ! / Yolanda is Flor’s sister.. ! They usual dress with traditional costumes trying to make some money asking tourist to take a picture of them or selling traditional items.. !!! What I like most of them is that they are always so happy and full of life. But in this case I caught Yolanda contemplative and a bit sad too.. !!! She liked the photo though..!!!
Pisaq, Perú ! / I had already walked up to the Temple of the Sun in Pisaq a few times.. but this time I noticed how beautiful the color of the green mountains was in a late afternoon..

Ollantaytambo is an Inca village which dates back to Inca times. Many of the houses were built by the Incas. Many of the local people who live there are descended form the Incas and still speak Quechua. / / / This photograph was taken while I was on a brief vacation while working with Hands on Disaster Response at the site of a major earthquake near Pisco, approximately four hours south of Peru’s capital city of Lima. / / /
