    Happy washing day I met these great ladies when I travelled through Ancash in Peru. They robbed my attention as I heard them singing while washing and interchanging gossips. A normal day in Huaraz :): by sense-explorer, Views[324]
         		 An actor portraying the Sapa Inca, Patchacutec, entreats the sun god, Inti, to return to end the long drought and for Pachamama (the Incan goddess of fertility and harvests) to allow the crops to grow anew.

         		 An actress dressed in the traditional garb of one of the realms of Tawantinsuyu (the Incan Empire) watches the High Priest perform a final, re-enacted ritual sacrifice of a white alpaca (basically a giant puppet with fake guts inside) and read the omens contained within its
         		 Hundreds of colorful onlookers watch the equally colorfully clad participants from the tops of the Saqsayhuaman fortress.

         		 Knitting boys on Taquile - mixture of traditional and modern. There are 3 rules on Taquile - don't steal, don't lie and don't be lazy. So women wave, but man knit (because it's easier than waving). Many tourists visiting the island are told about the traditional customs and offered to buy the knitwear although not all locals wear the traditional clothing. It's a stick with two ends - differences make travelling more interesting, but everyone on Earth must also have equal oportunities and comfort.: by laste, Views[483]

         		 While hiking up to the summit of Machu Picchu mountain, on a day with ill-tempered weather, one can lose track of the view and get lost in the smoky chill of the clouds. Soaring heights are diminished to just a few feet and temperatures plummet as the sun is blocked from the skin. Heart rates can rise, not just because of the elevation, but because of the isolation, displacing time for an otherworldly moment.: by jmillerjtm, Views[438]
         		 A tourist in Machu Picchu takes a photograph on their I-Phone, engrossed in the pixels illuminating their display. Flashes and smiles are temporarily abound in a monument that's seen many faces come and go.: by jmillerjtm, Views[444]
