Penultimate Peru Photo Post: Chinchero Village

[sabotabby]

In an effort to get back into some semblance of a routine and strike something off my to-do list, I'm going to finish posting the photos from Peru. Today's instalment is Chinchero Village, where families in a cooperative keep the traditional techniques of dyeing and weaving alpaca wool alive, to some degree for the entertainment of tourists, but also because it's the thing that keeps the economy alive.

All pictures of people were taken with their permission.


I think this is my favourite picture that I took in Peru and I'm probably unreasonably proud of it.










Okay, yes, this one is a bit sad. There was a cage of guinea pigs. Their fate is much harsher than that of the alpacas.
