Description
Cusco in Peru.
These indigenous Quechua women were relaxing in Cuzco one day when I was there. I love their very distinctive dress style which has become part of their ethnic identification, their hats being a very important part.
Cuzco is a beautiful city with well preserved colonial architecture, evidence of a rich and complex history. The city itself represents the centre of indigenous Quechua culture in the Andes, and by merely walking the streets one sees the layers of history. Spanish colonial buildings erected directly atop Inca walls line the square, while the modern tourist nightlife flourishes in their midst.
