The people of the Andes Mountains continue to live traditions of Inca culture. History and nature are connected in every paving stone of ancient cities, in every monument, in every sacred mountain, in every ray of sun that illuminates the country. The harshness of the deserts, the Amazon jungle, the far above average ultraviolet radiation and the low oxygen in the high mountains shape these people in their resistance. Ancient cultural connections are the pride and joy they convey in every smile. Ancient knowledge and love for mother earth allow them to obtain everything they need to live.
