Peru
Living Culture. |

5,000
years of Andean culture are present in the temples,
astronomic observatories, agrarian terraces, irrigation
systems, ceramics, textiles, and above all in the values
that persist to this day, and gave fruits as magnificent
as Machu Picchu. These achievements are alive in the
indigenous communities of the Quechua people who
continue to practice reciprocity: ayni, and collective
work: minka.
In the Andes the ancestral encounters and coexists with
the contemporary. As the inheritors of a philosophy that
respects and celebrates diversity, 12 million indigenous
use thousands of different traditional dress, food,
music, dance, rituals etc today.
Each day we will explore the wealth of Quechua music,
dance, arts, customs, philosophies, cosmology, history
and typical foods. A visit to the community of Amaru
encourages participation in their communal workday
called faena. This cultural exchange combined with
visiting the ancient observatories and agrarian terraces
deepens the appreciation of Quechua history and social
life. This is an opportunity to experience the essence
of Andean culture, its meaning and its magic
From the coast to the jungle and through the highlands,
Peruvian people live the same way as their ancestors did
a thousand years ago; maintaining their dances,
handcrafts, textiles, customs and keeping their spirit
alive.
At Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, a
whole village floats on the water. Hundreds of the years
ago the Uro people created these floating islands - made
of Totora reed - by stacking one reed on top of another
until a stable platform was built. They lived on these
islands as they sailed around the lake to fish or hunt
for their food. You can still see the Uros today, living
as if they had floated through time.
"Qoyllur Rit'i "- the feast of the Shining Snow - is one
of Peru's most incredible expressions of faith and
tradition. Starting on Trinity Sunday, more than 70,000
people come together at the Sinakara Valley in the
province of Quispicanchis, Cuzco, to embark on a
pilgrimage of hope to the top of a snow covered
mountain, 15,090 feet above sea level. After a 5 mile
walk, thousands of dancers, hundreds of bands and
countless believers finish their journey toward the "Apus"
-the mountain gods- asking for money, love, luck, or
whatever else they feel they are lacking.
Most of these people will speak Quechua -the
mother-tongue of more than 3 million Peruvians- or any
of the 91 other indigenous languages that are still in
use. Aguaruna, Machiguenga and Huitoto are just some of
the native tongues that survive in the jungle, keeping
the voices of our forefathers intact, along with their
customs.
Almost all of the native handcrafts you'll see are made
of natural elements like bones, feathers and seeds that
are collected to create beautiful pieces of art.
