navidad peruana

since peru is a "modern country" many of the traditions have been lost  in the coast, however coast isn't all Peru, most of the immingrants in Lima still preserve their highlands' traditions and some of them are popular here

probably you might know some of this customs, if you dont, luckily there are photos :)



this pic was  taken in the shopping, is a big tree...

it was December 24th, Plaza Mayor de Lima. as you can see, there are many people waiting for the last stroke of the clock

Santas' House is a tradition here, children waiting  in long queues to see him. this place is full

well..i tooke those photos on the streets, departaments, houses, avenues...

 This is the best photo for me. i was walking down the street when two little children came to me and the girl 
asked me "can you hold my 'chispita mariposa' for a moment? i was like ... ok? 
she wants to show her brother how to light his 'chispita mariposa'  :D

Daniela and Junior

Searching a hide part of me and my history

Well, maybe my english is not the best but someone told me he wanted to know more about my culture, my country, costumes...

so i decided to start this project, because thanks to him, i feel more committed to what i want to show...

from Peru to the world

 this is when i traveled to Huancayo last vacations

is not beautiful? :)

in a small town of Huancayo, in a church, i found a small cemetery, i was surprised when i saw the date of death...

this is "laguna de la Huacachina" - Ica

like i said, my friend, Lima is very different of highlands...

This is Salineras, salt ponds. the salt mines traditionally have been available to any person wishing to harvest salt. The owners of the salt ponds must be members of the community.
