ORO DE LOS ANDES

A journey through Peruvian history. On this route we discover little visited corners of Peru. The intrepid traveller will be impressed by the beauty of the landscape and the imposing ruïns of 3 ancient cultures : the thousand years old magic of Chavin de Huantar, the Inca city of Huanuco Pampa and the Kingdom of the mysterious Yarowilcas.

Another piece of the old catedral is all that remains of the devastated village A replica of the old catedral has been erected to commemorate the thousands of people that lie buried beneath the visitors feet A huge original kero has survived the earthquake and the avalanche The road from Carhuaz to Punta Olimpica is one of the most spectacular in Peru
The road takes you into the Quebrada Ulta gorge up to well above the snow border The Carhuaz-Punta Olimpica road passes the southface of Peru's highest mountain, the Huascaran (6768 mtrs) Flowers and the snow of Huascaran in perfect harmony The curving road counts more than 50 hairpins before it reaches Punta Olimpica
Contrahierbas Mountain Statue of the Holy Mary in the rocks close to the Punta Olimpica pass Passing by travellers make a gift to thank for a safe passage The Holy Mary of Punta Olimpica

It is a rich and beautiful collection of pictures I enjoyed very much. I will probably never visit Andes but what you posted here makes a splendid impression of that really miraculous place
