The Maranga people believed that the moon was their god. Here are twelve glyphs of the moon.
Some adobe covering the stony construction has broken away here, allowing a vision of what the Maranga people did to facilitate their glyphic communication and calendars.
Bird glyphs, perhaps that of the condor.
See? I was actually there!
The winding, single-lane rocky and dusty, cliff-hugging highway that takes you from Cieneguilla to Huarochirí offers magnificent views of the entrance to the Andean highlands.
Much farmland and apple orchards line the valley.
The Río Lurín gently carves through the valley that leads up to where the town of Antioquía is found.
The tiny pueblo of Antioquía is nestled in the Andes some 1500 meters above sea level (4,900 feet).
The sky was a blue of the sierra, deep and radiant, and the sun shone with a brilliance and a force that made me realize how far up I had traveled from sea level.
One of the cutest babies I had ever seen. It was hard to get him to look over his mama's shoulder at me.
I loved the baño with the big blue tulip painted on the wall.
The ruins of Choquehuanca in Lima are beautifully illuminated at night.

ResponderEliminarWhat a treat to have the words to capture the stories and people and then the pictures - sort of delayed gratification. You look beautiful! And I LOVE the painted buildings. They look so right - but if we tried to paint our house like that, we would be sneered at ... what a shame. :)
Thanks for the treat.
Beautiful Country.... love the sign LOL. It does sum it all up.
