Streets #Cusco
Calles de #Cusco

#Cusco surgido en un valle que tiene huellas de poblamiento desde mil años antes de Cristo, el #Cusco se transforma en una ciudad cuando se convierte en capital del #ImperioInca, ese #Cusco #Incaicaico era Sagrada, de templos y palacios que imitaban la forma de un puma, la cabeza se encuentra en #Sacsayhuaman y el cuerpo del mismo que se extiende entre los ríos El Saphy y el Tullumayo.

#CuestaSanBlas,

Cuesta de San Blas.

Siete Angelitos #SanBlas,

Los Templos y palacios en la ciudad Puma (#Cusco), eran edificaciones de un solo piso, cubiertos con techos de paja a dos aguas o circulares con una inclinación muy acentuada para facilitar el escurrimiento del agua de las lluvias. la singularidad de la arquitectura #Inca era la calidad del pulido de la piedra mas el ensamblaje perfecto de un bloque con otro. En una cultura que no conocio el hierro.

In Cusco there are many circuit, between they the circuit of Churches.

Cathedral: In Inka times, the mian square in Cusco was surrounded by the kings' palaces, built to house their "Panaka", or royal extended families. One of those palaces, located North-East of the main square, was the Kiswarkancha, belonging to Inka Wiracocha.
Cusco cathedral is without any doubt, one of the most noticeable colonial buildings in America. Its structure belongs to the renaissance time and its layout is shaped after a latin cross, with crossing paths liking its two side Churches, the Churche of the Triumph to the east and the Church ofthe holy Family, to the west. It has three ailes, the central one, the Epistle one to east and the Gospel one to the west.
On the Cathedral central columns there are paintings representing Saint Luke, Saint Matthew, Saint Gregory Magnus, Saint Jerome and Saint Augustine, all them by Antonio Sinchi Roca, who was a descendant from the Inca Nobility, and native from Maras village, current disctrict in Urubamba province. who besides has other paintings in the Church of the Holy Family in this very Cathedral.
Three years after the spanish invaders arrival, Manco Inca waged a war to get back the Inca state. The Cusco siege by Incas took place getting the conquerors almost completely defeated, all of them joined inside the Suntur Wasi,. The Catholic tradition tells that right by that time, the Virgin of the Descent came down from heavenand made the miracle to give spandiars strength and intelligence to become victorious. Even more, the catholic tradition also tells that by those circumstances, Saint James the Greater appeared riding his horse and killed the Incas, so Saint James the greater is known as Indians killer. Thus with the help of these two divinity ambassadors the invaders were able to get victorious,. That is why it is named as the Church of the Triumph. The spaniards triumph over the Incas. Outside on its facade, on both sides of its entrance ther are writings carved in stone dated 1664 telling about those miracles. The Cathedral has one nave and two aisles, six altarpices carved on cedar wood and gilded in gold flakes. The firts altar, Baroque style and very big, stands on the right hand holding a crucified Jesus Christ statue. It has besides, two neoclasical style altar pieces made of gypsum. In the central part of the Church, the high altar completely carved in granite, embellished and gilded in some areas is located. That altar houses a Virgin of the Descent effigy in its upper part. In its lower part there is a wooden croos know as the conquest cross which was originally brought by Father Vicente Valverde from Spain, so being it the first Christian croos showed in the Incas Land.

Ollantaytambo

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:25:00 -0800

El origen del nombre tiene varios enfoques. De acuerdo a la lengua aymara, Ollantaytambo deriva del vocablo ulla-nta-wi, que quiere decir "lugar para ver hacia abajo"; el término tambo, es añadido posteriormente. Para la lengua quechua, el nombre proviene de la palabra Ollanta (que es el nombre de un capitán Inca, cuya historia se guardó como una tradición oral, y escrita como un drama de Antonio Valdez, sacerdote de Urubamba, a mediados del siglo XVIII) y del término, tambo, una derivación española del vocablo quechua tampu; que quiere decir, "ciudad que ofrece alojamiento, comida y consuelo a los viajeros" Ollantaytambo es otro parque arqueológico nacional al cual se le atribuyen diferentes funciones. Por su ubicación estratégica. Ollantaytambo fue una construcción militar levantada para proteger la capital del imperio incaico de las posibles invasiones de los Antis. También se dice que fue construida para habilitar caminos hacia el Antisuyo. Es una de las pocas ciudades que aún mantiene la planificación urbana incaica. El pueblo se dividía en bloques rectangulares con un esquema geométrico bien planeado que da la impresión de ser un pueblo diseñado por arquitectos modernos. Sus calles delgadas se abren en dirección al río Urubamba. Cada manzana o cancha está compuesta por un conjunto de viviendas que comparten una misma puerta hacia el patio central. #peruviansacred

El Santuario Nacional del Ampay, esta ubicado en el departamento de Apurimac, provincia de Abancay. Es un área pequeña 3635 Ha, destinada a la protección de la cuenca del río Pachachaca y de uno de los últimos bosques de intimpa o romerillo (Podocarpus glometatus). Los elementos más conspicuos de este Parque Nacional son el nevado de Ampay, cuya cúspide alcanza los 5252 m.s.n.m., los bosques naturales de tipo "húmedo montano bajo" en los que predomina la conífera conocida como "Intimpa" (Podocarpus glomeratus) o "Arbol del sol", y dos hermosas lagunas de cuenca cerrada, Las lagunas de Uspacocha y Asnascocha .

Ubicación

El Santuario Nacional de Ampay se encuentra ubicado geográficamente en el flanco sur del nevado del mismo nombre en la cordillera de Vilcabamba de los Andes Orientales del Sur del Perú. Políticamente, pertenece al Distrito de Tamburco, Provincia de Abancay, capital del Departamento de Apurímac.

Objetivos

Conservar con carácter de intangible especies de flora y fauna endémicas y en especial los bosques de "Intimpa" (Podocarpus glomeratus, Don), el más extenso rodal de esta conífera en el sur del Perú.

-Proteger los recursos suelo y agua en la cuenca del río Pachachaca, garantizando la estabilidad de los suelos y el normal aprovisionamiento de agua en los asentamientos humanos y el desarrollo agrario.

-Conservar las especies de flora y fauna silvestres que constituyen un valioso potencial biótico, que favorecerá al progreso económico de la región.

-Proteger, conservar y restaurar la belleza paisajística de la zona. Conservar las formaciones geológicas, geomorfológicas e hidrográficas del área.

-Promover el desarrollo de acciones de educación ambiental e impulsar el turismo ecológico.

Importancia (Biodiversidad)
Por su ubicación, la formación boscosa de Ampay que incluye un rodal importante de "Intimpa", es de trascendental importancia para el mantenimiento del entorno ecológico del ámbito urbano de Abancay, dado que el bosque funciona como una barrera de protección contra posibles desastres naturales que podrían poner en peligro a las comunidades y sectores populosos de la ciudad. Además, el bosque influye en la regulación productiva de las principales fuentes del recurso agua y el clima benigno del entorno de la sub-cuenca del río Mariño, además de servir de hábitat a la flora y fauna propia del Santuario.

Historia

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 2 Nov 2015 14:34:00 -0800

PISAC

Si bien resulta muy difícil conocer los nombres autóctonos de las ciudades antiguas, Písac, es uno de los pocos ejemplos de nombres originales conocidos. Este deriva de vocablo quechua pisaq o p'isaqa, que quiere decir perdiz (un tipo de gallinácea muy abundante en esta zona). Como todas las ciudades pertenecientes al Cusco, Písac es un importante centro arqueológico que conjuga místicas construcciones incas y la riqueza natural del Valle de Urubamba. Como era costumbre en la arquitectura inca, las ciudades fueron construidas sobre la base de trazos figurativos de animales. Písac, tenía la forma de una perdiz, como lo indica su nombre.

Ubicación

Písac, es un distrito de la provincia de Calca, situado a 32 Kms. al noroeste del Cuzco. Su altitud comprende los 2,950 msnm.

Mitología

Písac no escapa a las famosas leyendas incas. La ciudad presenta una estatua que tiene una muy particular: se dice que el cacique Huayllapuma tenía una hija, llamada Inquill, a la que tenía que casar con el hombre que pudiese construir, en sólo una noche, el puente sobre el río Vilacmayo (un puente de mucha importancia para la defensa del lugar). Pese a la dura tarea, Asto Rímac -un apuesto príncipe- decidió aceptar el reto, y pedir la mano de la princesa. Las autoridades del lugar dispusieron todo para que Asto Rímac iniciara las labores, mientras la princesa debía subir un cerro sin voltear; porque, de lo contrario, ella y su prometido se convertirían en piedra. Casi al amanecer, el príncipe había culminado con la obra, pero Inquill, no pudiendo soportar más, volteó y quedó convertida en piedra hasta el día de hoy. #peruviansacred

Carnaval Abanquino

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:10:00 -0700

No se sabe con exactitud la fusión del Carnaval Abanquino con la influencia española e italiana, aunque su origen data desde tiempos remotos, más precisamente desde la ocupación Quichua en el valle de Amancaes. La fiesta del Carnaval se inicia con la llegada del día de los Compadres, comúnmente el día jueves. Ellos abren la celebración con juegos con agua, talco, serpentinas, picapica y el infaltable aguardiente de Pachachaca y de la Hacienda “San Gabriel”, la chicha de jora y suculentos platos, como: el puchero o huma timpu el “levanta muertos”, chicharrones, asado de res (huactacanca), acompañados de choclo, papas la uchucuta, seguido del “paseo” hasta el amanecer. #peruviansacred

INCA TRAIL HISTORY

INCA TRAIL HISTORY

Inca Trail History

In Febuary 1909, Hiram Bingham, an adventurer and professor of South American history INITIALLY Traversed the Peruvian Andean mountains. Being the rainiest month of the year His journey was arduous. His previous visit to the Choquequirao ruins His curiosity aroused in the Incas. In 1911 I Came Back With the Yale Peruvian Expedition With the aim of visiting the Urubamba River and Its surroundings to discover the last Capital City of the Incas. Bingham Examined the scripts of the conquests to find out Where They Should Go. I've Heard About a secret lost city in the jungle but no one in Cusco confirmed this. The journey started trailing the path of the Urubamba River, examining arrays of ruins on the way. On July 23, 1911 Bingham Have Reached Aguas Calientes farmer Melchor Arteaga met WHO Bingham Informed about the Presence of two Inca sites, Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu. Arteaga was taken on as a guide, When He Explained That They Had to go to the top of the mountain Binhams HAD associates different pretexts to refrain from joining him.

So, finally ascended Bingham With just Seargent Arteaga and Carrasco, WHO translated for the Quechuan farmer. They Traversed the rushing Urubamba Then crossing the dense jungle vegetation on the other side, at times on Their hands and knees, clinging on by the tips of Their fingers. About 600 meters above the river They found a hut and some more farm workers performing work on the agricultural terraces. After a rest Arteaga did not want to climb Further and sent a child to guide Bingham. As They Climbed the terraces Became increasingly larger. To Binghams Also Perfected astonishment I discovered Incan walls overlaid by heavy vegetation. Bingham was lead by the child-through shrubs and bamboo to a very large cave That Bingham proclaimed to be the Royal Tomb. Bingham meat back to the US with word of the city of Machu Picchu. This find aroused the interest of the world, Especially Yale University and the National Geographic Society. Both Organizations Wished to aid in Bingham ascertained His investigations of the ruins in 1912 and 1915. Stated Bingham 'a careful count of the skeletons and bones found in the different caves and tombs Appear to show the remains of 173 Individuals and of these, maybe 150 Correspond correspondence to women, an extraordinary percentage, at Least That was a sanctuary habitants Whose Were Chosen Women of the Sun. 'Other people connected to Machu Picchu Were servants, laborers and soldiers That Were buried out of the city. Bingham Claimed They did not find gold or silver materials but They did encounter items of bronze and other metals and wood, stone and bone. There are Disagreements About what Binghams Took team from Peru. In the official Peruvian Government report made in 1916, it was Stated That there was 74 boxes, with mummies, bones, ceramics, textiles and metal and wooden items. No products of gold or silver Were verified, though there are many skeptics, Considering the size and significance It had for the Incan rulers And Also the fact That it was not discovered by the Spanish. The Peruvian government and Yale University are in discussions about the return of the items for the Archaeological Museum of Machu Picchu.

Thank you very much, hope your early return

Review Sofia Rios

The company Peruvian Sacred and Adventure helped me realise my university long dream of producing a first class dissertation on cultural geography. In the summer of 2012 I headed out to Peru to research the cultural impact of tourists along the main Inca trails.

Peruvian Sacred and Adventure where more than accommodating and enthusiastic to help me as they too do their own research into their impacts on their environment, and do their best to lower it where possible. I completed 4 treks with them; Salkantay, Lares, Choquequirao and Inca jungle, as well as visiting historical sites around Cusco with the owner of the company Marco Jordan. I was never rushed through the work I had to do but was only helped to complete it all as thoroughly as possible, at this point in my trip I realised that it wasn’t just me who was invested in the project the whole of Peruvian Sacred and Adventure were too.

All the way through from deciding which treks were best for me, organising a team, to completing each trek where thoughtfully planned out and explained to me. There were many different ways to do each trek and Peruvian Sacred and Adventure customised them around me and what I wished to achieve. The company can take you to and from each trek’s starting point in private taxi, shared transfers or local buses and routes depending on how you would prefer to experience Peru.

The guides (Guias in Spanish) are all highly qualified (all guides must complete a 3 year university course before being hired by the company) and many speak more than two languages. During my time with these guides I learnt a range of fascinating facts ranging from the history of the area I was in to the local flora and fauna. I was delighted when so many species of orchid were pointed out to me! I always felt safe when travelling with Peruvian Sacred and Adventure due to the professionalism of the guides and a great office team backing them up in the city of Cusco where they are based.

I would recommend Peruvian Sacred and Adventure to anyone looking to visit Peru for recreational purposes or to gain knowledge of the rich culture and history of the country.
