The Northwest region and the Cuyo region
are zones of high peaks, high plateaus, ravines and deserts.
Under clear blue sky, small villages let the seasons pass
by quietly, only interrupted by the carnivals, Indian markets
and the worship of "Pachamama" or Mother Earth who
provides maize and pastures where the llamas, vicunas and
guanacos graze.
Deep gorges climb up to the Puna where dusty routes take you
to forgotten settlements and pre-Hispanic ruins in the land
of the Incas or "Sons of the Sun". It is here where
Southamerica touches the sky.
