Dancing Girls, Puno, Peru – Friday Photo

We we’re lucky enough to be in Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca during a weekend celebration (what it was in aid of escapes me I’m afraid). This photo was taken during one of the best processions around the town made up of lots of different groups in traditional costumes, performing dances, lots of pan pipe action!

   Beautiful photo Ben, love the contrast of the bright red of the skirts with the bright blue of the wall

   Thanks Geoff, I’d really recommend Puno for that festival, it had a great feeling and I know I could have got some much better photos of the festivities!

   I went to Lima, Cusco, Machu Pichu among other places in Peru. I spent 20 days total down there.
   It is such a nice country, the food was amazing and the culture is intriguing. Hope to go back soon!!!
