shamanic reconstruction, chan chan museum
the highlight was the abandoned railroad-pier, though, where goods were unloaded straight from the boat to a railroad track run 2 or 3 km out into the sea. it was also, coincidentally, the site of the first landing of japanese immigrants to p-ú.
the pier’s seen better days. also, the “picturesque” toratora boats people still use are, on closer inspection, just styrofoam wrapped in sandbags sewn into a toratora shell. not to be a stickler, but the tourist video on the fancy bus lied to me.
lima pride 2008 shared a park with, of all things, a “feria agropecuaria” (country fair).
andahuaylas: seriously untouristic destination
andahuaylas marketday: basua/masua potatoes are AWESOME looking
mummytime!
crazy inti raymi floats
penetration scene
creepy whitefacedudes (pachuchis?) abounded that day… me among them (the baffled faces of locals were totally priceless, well worth the s./10 one of those masks costed!)
fierce inkan corporate sponsorship
how has this becomes the official pose of the trip? shutterdelay serendipity, that’s how.
