A bit of water against the evening light.
The city of Imata, collected around the road and railway leading from Arequipa towards Puno and Cusco.
After the sunset, the contrast changes
Ruthie and sand
Footsteps

Branch
A random branch to add perspective
Frozen sea of sand
We decided to go barefoot
The view away from Ica after a couple of hours of walking
Light coming over the dune is blowing up sand to give the edge a golden glow

Sand, shaped and reshaped many times over by the wind
The wind kept blowing sand everywhere. It's a miracle the dunes are still standing.

Plenty of onions and a hiding lady who didn't want to appear in my photo.
More cheese, plus the cheese-lady.

Pollo por todos lados
This is from inside the market, where the juice stands are packet tight with delicious options such as an 'especial', consisting of all the different fruits plus honey, beer and raw egg. When you order, they ask you if you want the egg shell in there too.

Local insectoid
Down below all the villagers are working hard at making the site more pleasant. Many people in the nearby villages came by in the weekend to relax near the cool water. Foreigners on the other hand was not a common sight, and we were the first gringos to visit in months.
We went for a two day hike to a local place where 5 big waterfalls greeted us as we slowly climbed upwards with our backpacks. This was one of them.

This little guy was a bit lost as he tried to follow along as well as he was able.
