Peruvian Parades and Festivals
Since we arrived in Peru, at times and in various towns, we have been fortunate to experience fantastic parades. The costumes are delightful and colourful, and the people definitely in a friendly and festival mood. What a different cultural aspect in comparison to Heathers´Canadian and my southern African backgrounds. The day we left Cusco, and as we made our way back to the hostel to collect our backpacks for the overnight trip to Arequipa, we lingered at the main plaza to watch another parade. The photos speak for themselves! The weather turned rainy for the first time in maybe 15 days. We have been fortunate to have had clear weather for both of our treks out of Cusco.
