Peru

CuzcoToday a proud symbol of the Conquistadores, the historic Spanish conquerors, towers over the town of Cuzco in Peru�s mountains.Prior to the arrival of the Spanish, Cuzco lay at the centre of the Inca world and was the capital and religious centre of an immense kingdom.The unique combination of Spanish and Inca culture is apparent in the attractive architecture of the town.Typical characteristics of the houses are the overhanging tiled roofs and beautiful old balconies.One of the town�s most extravagant colonial buildings, the Compa�De Jes�urch in the Plaza De Armas Square, was built on mighty Inca foundations.Some of Cuzco�s streets still display the impressive and sturdy architecture of the Inca people.Attractive houses line the former procession roads of the Inca that led from the main square, today�s Plaza De Armas, to the Sun Temple.Although historic, Cuzco is full of mystery and speculation with regard to its famous Inca predecessors.

In Pucarumi, a small community in the foothills of the snow-capped Peruvian Andes, Felipe mulls the fate of the life-giving Ausangate glacier. Year after year, the great white glacier of his boyhood has receded and slowly turned black.

“We are feeling the effects of climate change,” says Felipe, an alpaca herder whose animals graze on pastures irrigated by Ausangate’s waters. “This loss of snow means we receive less water. This climatic factor is causing us great danger.”

Less water has meant less pasture and more difficulty raising livestock. Animals such as alpaca and sheep aren’t eating enough, “so their wool doesn’t grow as well,” forcing people to turn to synthetic wool to weave hats, sweaters, and scarves.
