Peru is a photographer's dream come true.
Not only are the landscapes stunning but the people have
captivating faces that are kind to the lens with their
colorful dress, hats and the occasional llama in tow.
Snow capped peaks seem to frame every shot and it's difficult
not to take a couple of snaps through the airplane window
as you fly in. As you traverse the countryside the terraced
farms with varied colors of crops are a tempting target
to the photographer.
The architecture of the Incans in Machu
Picchu and the Sacred Valley are famous, but equally
interesting are the pre-Incan temples, colonial churches,
and buildings sometimes built on Incan foundations as
evidenced in Cuzco.
On Lake Titicaca the deep blue water makes
a fantastic contrast to the floating islands of the Uros
and the rocky islands of Titicaca, Amantani
and Suasi.
The residents of each island have unique customs and proudly
wear and display their colorful handicrafts.
The only way for a camera to capture the
famous Nazca Lines is by air. The pilot gives the passengers
opportunities to shoot the lines in the sand that form
figures. Nearby is the Ballestas Islands where you'll
see bird and wildlife similar to the Galapagos Islands.
On the boat ride to the islands, you'll have full view
of the Candelabra etched in the sand overlooking the water.
Only minutes away from the Macaw Clay lick,
Tambopata
Research Center offers opportunities like no other.
Posada
Amazonas on an oxbow lake with Giant River Otters
and the elusive pink and grey River Dolphins. A short
cruise
on an Amazon Riverboat may be fruitful but to see the
convergence of the Amazon River in Brazil take the M/F
Marcelita from Iquitos on a 8 night journey with daily
explorations of the tributaries. Off of the standard tourist
route, the Chachapoyas
Adventure offers fantastic opportunities to shoot
ancient mummies and little known tribes that practice
the ways of the Amazon.
