    A typical village of the andean Peru... To be visited when you are about to go trekking to Choquequirao, or even when you're coming back... You will learn what is life in a poor village, so close and at the same time so far from Cusco...

    Un village typique des andes peruviennes. A visiter avant de partir ou en revenant de Choquequirao... Vous apprendrez beaucoup sur la vie d'un village pauvre si proche et en meme temps si loin de Cusco...

    The "boleto turistico" allows you to visit the church, but it's Chinchero's market that you have to come to visit, actually. A very typical one...

    Le "boleto turistico" vous permet de visiter l'eglise, mais c'est le marche que vous etes en realite venu voir... Il est des plus typiques...

    Aguas Calientes, as you have to know it, is the closest city to the Machu Picchu site. You can go to the site by walking (you will hate the stairs, after that) or by bus (but you will arrive later than those making the Inca Trail as the first bus to leave is at 6.30 AM). Ask your way before going there...

    Aguas Calientes, vous devez le savoir, est la ville la plus proche du site du Machu Picchu. Vous pouvez le rejoindre en marchant (vous detesterez les escaliers, par la suite) ou par bus (mais vous arriverez plus tard que ceux qui font l'Inca Trail, le premier bus partant a 6.30 du mat'). N'oubliez pas de demander votre chemin avant de partir.

    Basically... Unbelievable. I hope you will have a good weather there, and that you will enjoy the landscapes. If it's not the case when you arrive, don't hesitate to stay one more day as the weather is changing quickly here...

    En fait... Incroyables. J'espere que vous aurez beau temps pour en profiter. Si c'est pas le cas, n'hesitez pas a rester une journee de plus, le temps change rapidement par la-bas...

    For the guides, it is less commercial and harder than the Inka Trail. For the visitors, it is an unforgettable adventure. We did it : go to Choquequirao !!!

    Pour les guides, c'est moins commercial et plus dur que l'Inka Trail. Pour les visiteurs, c'est une aventure inoubliable. On l'a fait : allez a Choquequirao !!!

    Electricity Day In Manazo
    by catalysta
    The band marched and played and drank and marched and played all night long, as a part of the traditional way of celebrating whatever there is to celebrate.

    Then the next day, they cratered!

    Meanwhile, everyone not too hung over to show up was in the town square the next day for the big ceremony to light the town for the first time ever, with the power from a gas generator.

    It was quite an honor to be there for what to the locals was a momentous day in their history!

    El Nino At Wedding Feast
    by catalysta
    "It is fascinating and somehow very satisfying to me to learn that for all their Christianization, Pacha Mama the earth goddess has survived intact. Other gods were dropped along the way, or the Jesuit missionaries transformed them one by one into equivalent Catholic saints. But Pacha Mama wasn't subverted into a feeble virginal travesty; she IS HERSELF, and she must still have her due!
