Vista Andina : A Photographic Perspective on Contemporary Life in the Andes (English and Spanish Edition)

Vista Andina is a personal look at Cusco behind the tourist or the postcard version. It is an edgy, atmospheric and authentic illustration of the region's people and their character. This book accomplishes that in a sometimes irreverent and humorous way.
Vista Andina could be translated as Andean View or Andean Perspective, the Cusqueñan community's point of view. It is a photographic journey bringing you from the Incan terraces and bountiful fields of the Sacred Valley to the thriving streets and markets of Cusco. It delves deeply into traditional festivals and popular cock fights, bringing 11 years of perspective.
Vista Andina was created to complement our understanding of the region of Cuzco; to help reinforce that Cuzco is not just about Machu Picchu and the ruins around the Sacred Valley. It is an energetic and charismatic place with a proud and diverse people.
While the book tells a larger story of a region, you can find unique insight and beauty in the individual images, the people they portray and the places they present.
