Hatun Q`eros (The living Inkas)
(6D/5N)
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Q’eros are still the
guardians of an extremely rich Inka cultural tradition.
The Q’eros are a Quechua-speaking people who live in five large
tribes (30 to 35
houses each) and several
small
clustered villages in the mountains of south-central
Perù at altitudes ranging up to 16,000 ft. Aided by
these high altitudes and the resulting protection from
the contact
with the
modern
civilization, the Q’eros
live in a relatively
pristine
isolation.
