Choco
– The clouds break upon the mountains at Choco like wispy waves
upon the rocks – slowly, silently but just as majestic. The valley
here is terraced with small farms burnt into the mountainside. The remains
of Incan fields constructed in exactly the same manner can still be seen
in the silhouette of the ridges. The jungle-like forest only holds on
in the ravines. And even in the middle of summer the nights are brutally
cold. Nowhere is the paradox of Peru - staggering beauty hand in hand
with stark survival - more evident that here. |
