Peru

Shapes and Surprises

Pt4 The land in Peru held all kinds of surprises, from incredibly delicious passion fruits, to crazy unique landscapes and ingenious methods of agriculture – some ancient, some still running as family businesses… oh and some pretty cool animals!

This little guy is a baby spectacled bear! Never thought I’d see a wild bear with my own eyes, it really was an awesome moment, and not just because we’d reached the top of a mountain!

Lands of potential

Pt3 One of the things that amazed me so much about Peru was the diversity in the environment.
In a matter of hours we went from snow capped mountains to sweaty jungle.
Along with the change in temperature the people change, and the way they use the land around them.

When faced with these environments I worry I wouldn’t know where to start, where to let my pigs and Llamas roam!? Where to put up a pylon for my electricity?
The Peruvian people we met on our trip and those who’s lives we hiked past really are so resourceful and hardworking.

Interrupting Pachamama

Pt1
My friends and I were lucky enough to have the opportunity to go to Peru this September and I took several hundred photographs. I did my best to cut these images down and it was tough but i’ve done what I hope is a good edit, and will be sharing in a series of blog posts over the next few weeks.

I really hope you like them, and most importantly I hope they give a sense of the beautiful yet ramshackle, perfectly engineered yet crumbling country that is Peru.
