Cusco

Gloriously built on Inca soil, with an air of greatness, one encounters the city of Cusco.
Pretty, flirtatious and a little smug, it is well known for it holds one of the most famous ruins-Machu Pichu and the Sacred Valley.




In its streets the shoeshine figure is still used.
A profession exercised by adults and increasingly by children.




In its facades a history is marked. Developing and publishing an empire and the decay of another.

It was lucky and they celebrated the Saiswahuaman traditional games through which children become adults. this is a test of courage and worth.




In which the skill of the youth are evaluated like future militants.




Where they are tempered, not only with balance but with character of the boys themselves.




In which they mediate in force between various communtities.




Always the fall of history and culture occurs in all its glory like long ago, where it is visible.
In the richness of its streets,




As well as the city and the people that inhabit it.




This easily makes one forget, those who humbly seek to make a few 'Soles' with which to survive in one of the richest cities in Peru.






In the agrarian life of mediocrity, there remains the maintainence of the traditional crops.




In a desperate cry to conserve its traditions.




While many customs are preserved, the Yamas, Alpacas and Vicunas are still queens of the Empire.




Its tasty food.




The old ways of farming, creating microclimates for a variety of products all year round. the greenhouse effect from the same plants as well as the different elevations of altitude.




Intelligent not only in agriculture and astronomy. They have always been grateful for the Pachamama who provides for them, for everything they need, is in the natural salt mines of this sacred valley.






For the pacah is known.
So we need to give her respect and honour her. it is interesting to see how beliefs are mixed. In a culture and a society where Catholicism is alsmost totalitarian. This has to live with the oldest beliefs of these people.
The Pacha.
Wisdom and knowledge are hidden in its people.




Transmitted from the oldest to the youngest, a unique knowledge.




Respect for the land that lives us the life.
