RE: 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - South American Saturday week #37 - the absolute winner takes 200 SBD!
I shot this photo when trekking in the breathtaking Cordillera Vilcanota in the Peruvian Andes. I got up at 3am and hiked a whole day in the thin air to the peak of 5200 metres. As one of the few remaining pastoralist societies in the world, the herders here use the high mountain trails to trade with agricultural communities at lower elevations.
Yet another mind-blowing image!
Beautiful photo, it has always seemed to me that the Peruvian indigenous people live with an inner peace that is very difficult to describe.
Thanks Jose! :) You mean the highlanders right? Perhaps because of the deep mountains... The people from the jungle or the seaside of the country seem to be different.
