If you're thinking about travel to Peru this summer 2022 ✅ and you still cannot decide, 25 pictures are worth more than a thousand words!!!
One of our favourite trips, with an excellent team of guides and unforgettable landscapes: crossing the Andes on roads and mountain tracks between Arequipa and Cuzco.
Often confused with the Arawak peoples, the indigenous Arhuaco communities inhabit the highlands of the Sierra de Santa Marta, in the valleys of the Chichicua, Piedras and Ariguaní rivers, among others. Their population is estimated at 25,000, and their lands are recognised by the State of Colombia as collectively owned protected area.
The Arhuaco are a people with recognized social and political consciousness, and although they live scattered across the Sierra de Santa Marta, meetings and ceremonies bringing all the communities together take place in the main villages. The most important of these is Nabusímake.
