The Sky and the Orchids

Nothing like a beautifull sky and a gorgeous flower to cheer you up. Back in Brasil were both are abundant.

This one's cool

This wall is outside the "Museo de la Nación de Perú" dependent of the INC. It has no artistic merit, just atractive colours, and the puddle was reflecting the wall very artistically.
I gotta say that the INC was extremelly inefficient in providing me with a press pass and after 20 days failled to tell me that they had dennyed it. even after sending all types of letters and scanned press card etc. anywhrere in the civilized world they believe you when you show your press card, but not in Peru.

Spuds R-us - La cuna de las Papas

Peru is the cradle of potatoes , you can find more 100 variaties in many shapes and colours. I got in trouble for taking these shots at the super market, cause they have a no photo policy, even though it was'nt potsed anywhere. I was let off after I flashed my press card.

Perú es el lugar de origen de las papas. Pasando por un super no pude resistir la tentación de sacar unas fotos de las distintas variedades que allí tenían. Hay mas de 100 tipos de tubérculos a lo largo de los Andes.
Después de sacar las fotos vino un guardita de seguridad a imponer su autoridad, diciendo que no se podia sacar fotos en el super y exigiendo que borrace las imagenes, cuando le dije que era fotógrafo profesional, se puso mas terco, entonces pedì hablar con el gerente y le expliqué que si no ponían un cartel explicando que no se pueden tomar fotos, no tienen ningún derecho de amonestar a las personas a posteriori. Al final me salí con la mia, pero siempre me recordaré de la mirada de resentimiento del guardia de seguridad...

The Machu Pichu

Talk about far away places, Take a 20hr bus ride from Lima to Cusco, another 4hr very expensive train ride and a 15 min bus to get to this amazing site. I have to say that it's worth it. I was very lucky to hit some nice sunny days on my stay in Cusco, mostly cuz I went on the dry season. If you go during the summer (Dec to March) you might not be so fortunate. I´ve heard stories of people that did the Inca trail at thee longest length which takes 7 days, only to find the Machu Pichu immersed in thick clouds on a wet and gloomy day.
