Some South American Pictures

At peak altitude 4,335 metres. The air was so clear we had no problems here but then again we had just got out of the bus and were not engaged in any strenous walking or climbing. Below is myself with fellow Rotarian Maurico Torres at his great agri-tourist farm in Ecuador .
Bollywood filming at Macchu Picchu.
At the Charles Darwin Centre in the Galapogas.

The intrepid traveller somewhere in South America.
Macchu Picchu. Probably our best shot which gives some indication of the beauty and magnificence of the site. It is much better enlarged so just click on the picture.
Pictures from the religious festival that we saw in Cuzco, Peru. It was two hours of brilliant dancing and music from approximately 30 groups.























So my highlights were:
1. Cuzco Festival
2. Macchu Picchu
3. Iguazu ((Iguassu) Falls
