Looking to Peru from the air

Some aerial views of Peru

Perhaps soon will be pictures shots from the Peruvian TV Chasqui II, developed at the National University of Engineering, UNI.

The map of Peru from space. Humboldt sea, coast, mountains and jungle are appreciated. Lake Titicaca is always visible on any scale map of Peru. Amazing.

First, some views of the capital of Peru, Lima, a privileged city for being at sea. 

Miraflores, one of the districts to the sea. Great pictures.

Callao, Peru's first port coupled to the capital, Lima. Foul development and their capacity is limited by lack of political and firmness in decision authorities. La Punta, the gateway to the Italian immigrants who then brought their culture and ingenuity in Peru. Real Felipe Fortress, last stronghold of the Spanish before withdraw forever from Peru, a colony which had been plundered for 300 years is appreciated.

North, Caral is the third oldest in the world, contemporary with the pyramids of Egypt place, is located in the middle of mountains 190 km north of Lima. It is the oldest civilization in America and has approximately 5,000 years old.

South of Lima, Ica we find the Nazca Lines, preserved thanks to the selfless work of Dona Maria Reiche, a German I love Peru with intensity.

Huacahina lagoon, unique oasis in America.

Arequipa, rebellious and untamed city, called the White City building material, ashlar used profusely in the historic capital.

Chachani volcano 55 kilometers, 32 kilometers Pichu Pichu and the imposing Misti just 17.5 kilometers from the main square. There are more volcanoes, but these are the closest.

Cotahuasi Canyon, Arequipa, the fourth deepest in the world with a depth of 3.535 meters cannon; It is second only to Yarlung Tsangpo Canyon with 5.590 meters, Apurimac Canyon with 4.691 meters, Kali Gandaki Canyon with 4,375 deep.

Ayacucho, the city where the independence of Peru was consolidated. A magnificent aerial photography. The Cathedral and the Municipality is observed. It is a city that has 33 colonial churches, but it is a pity that not all are in good condition. But worth seeing and appreciating the original form of construction of altarpieces in the Cathedral. I do not know if these altarpieces, which seem to overcome gravity, but there's nothing like seeing them up close are made elsewhere in the world. And be amazed.

Cusco, the capital of the Incas always mysterious, always magical. The imposing colonial church is observed.

Machu Pichu, from land or from the air is always interesting.

Puno, the highest lake in the world. It is navigable and belongs to two countries, Peru and Bolivia.

In Lambayeque, birthplace of important pre-Hispanic cultures, the Museum of Sipan can be seen, with an architecture that resembles a pre-Inca pyramid that houses important treasures of the Moche culture. There are more than 2000 pieces of gold, besides pottery and funerary objects. If there is as much by the depredations of tomb robbers who for decades almost wiped out the vestiges.

Los Andes in the Cordillera Blanca show the imposing mountains and beautiful lakes. Pity that the warming has setback in glaciers and loss of water masses.

The forest always beautiful, always mysterious.

The quarter note. In the south, the Madre de Dios there is something to show for now but with the depredations of illegal miners and protected in collusion with the authorities, indolent, is running out with every trace of beauty. What happened in Brazil Bento Rodriguez, is repeated with more force in Peru.

Small towns also have their charm. San Miguel, Cajamarca, in northern Peru, where I was born. The photographs were taken with a drone.

To appreciate all this must come to Peru. Some scenes  of the landing at the Jorge Chavez International Airport, located in the capital.

La Fiesta de la Candelaria in Puno

Fiesta de la Candelaria Puno, Peru

 

La Fiesta de la Candelaria in Puno
 

The Virgin of Candelaria or Our Lady of Candelaria is an invocation of the Virgin Mary originally from Tenerife (Spain). His feast is celebrated according to the liturgical calendar on 2 February to remember the presentation of Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem after his birth and the purification of Mary. He is patron of several cities and countries of America and other continents; Peru is notorious in its association with Puno.

In ref1 (s / f, para. 4) states that the party is known and celebrated as "the Presentation of the Lord, the Purification of Mary, the Feast of Light and the Feast of the Candles" where Christ is "Light of the world by his mother in the temple comes to enlighten everyone as the candle or candles, hence the title of Our Lady of Candelaria is derived” . In ref. 2 (s / f, P 1), is claimed to be one of the most important religious feast of South America, by the number of symbols and artistic and cultural expressions peculiar to the Quechua, Aymara and mestizo cultures of the Andean highlands and the number of persons involved, directly and indirectly .

In Puno, where the feast of the Virgen de la Candelaria trials lasting 18 days from 2 months prior to the party, dancing in native costumes are presented with more than 200 groups and more than 70,000 participants between "native dances" coming from the Puno communities and sets of dances of the neighborhoods in the city of Puno. They are called "dances with costumes," participating dancers, musicians and managers indirectly, alferados, embroiderers, craftsmen in the making of masks, boots and shoes, bells and other items.

 Men and women, old, young and children do not stop dancing to the Virgin in gratitude for the benefits and wonders that allow them to live. In this festival the whole city and enjoy the party in a sea of ​​color, cool dance, whose main witness the majestic Lake Titicaca.

In developing the feast appreciate different times: essays, novenas, dawns holiday, candles input, input k'apos eve, Feb. 2, eighth, veneration, cacharpari.

On 2 September 2003 the National Institute of Culture of Peru declared the Feast of the Virgin of Candelaria as Cultural Heritage of Peru, "because it originates in the ancient Andean invocations to the Pachamama (Mother Earth) Uncle supay (devil ) miners and the Virgen de la Candelaria and motivates one of the greatest events in American folk expression "(Ref. 2 s / f, para 5.) sites.

On the Feast of Candles, the essential part of the festival is the dance and musical expression in which the most representative dances takes place, the number and variety has increased gradually.

 
In the first half of the twentieth century, the dance of the Sikumorenos enjoyed predilection on the Feast of the Virgin of Candelaria. In the newspapers speak of "Three games and numerous indigenous brown, have walked the streets of the town with sad music and dancing to them" (The Journal of Eco Puno, 5/2/19112); "the groups of sicuris and brown" (Diario El Siglo de Puno, 03/02/1985); "walking the streets, the groups of brown" (Diario El Eco de Puno, 14/02/1996). Other dances, such as "Five Indian troupes dressed bullfighters, dark, angels, devils and llameritos, preceded the procession to execute its music and dance, whimsical and tiresome but pleasing" (Diario El Siglo de Puno, 10 also had / 2/1921).

 
In the spirit of competition already established, other dances to dispute the primacy to morenada. In the fifties it was the Llamerada; for it "in 1966, a total of 22 sets involved llameradas 9, 3 sikuris and other dances with fewer sets (Diario Los Andes in Puno, 02/08/66). Other featured groups are kullahuadas and diabladas.

In the late twentieth century, seeking supremacy sikuris sets (single and multiple drums) the morenadas (and its variants), the "carnival" (pujllay and anata), foremen and diabladas. In 1993, 26 participated sikuris (single and multiple drums), 18 morenadas (including variants), 9 carnivals 7 caporales 7 Kajelos, 6 & 5 kullahuadas diabladas, among others. In 2004 they took part: 38 sikuris (single and multiple drums), 21 morenadas (including variants), 19 carnivals 8 and 7 diabladas foremen, among others. When compared with the number of sets in 1966 (22) could observe a significant increase.

There are currently 30 sicuris (including variants), 20 morenadas 12 caporales 8 diabladas, 3 kullahuadas, 3 wacas waca and nearly fifty indigenous carnivals, which can be added to sets that are not natural dancers of Puno.

Personally, I enjoy  the part of the musical accompaniment. A band of musicians regularly has 15 to 20 instruments, including the bass drum. A great band can have something over thirty and a bass drum bands;  in the parades in Puno, a band could have more than 100 musicians, with six or more bass drums; so that in itself is already a fabulous show not only an accessory component. If you are in Puno during the party, stand near a band and understand my point of view. Enjoy the presentation of a band (YouTube link)

Currently, participation is not for only for puneños of origin, but also involves visitors from other cities in Peru including foreigners, who assume obligations and share an enthusiasm and dedication to be part of the parade. A growing number of participants, the number of dance groups and competitive spirit. Not only devotion, but the imagination and will to be the best is also demonstrated.

 

Now it is the devotion to the Virgen de la Candelaria, but also of personal prestige, also reflecting a change of mind, a sense of pride and belonging.
In Ref. 2 (s / f) states that "Before the authorities forbade the Indians dance and play collectively in cities and only allowed them on payment of fines" (Diario Los Andes in Puno, 03/01/1934) because "was tasteless interpret aboriginal music" .

Today, it is an activity whose cost depends on the dress and other obligations assumed, is stressful and exhausting, but who participates does so with determination and enthusiasm that makes you forget all the difficulties. I

n 2014, the contest now firmly established as a feature of the festival, won the Grand Incomparable Diablada Friends Of Del Peru National Police or PNP Diablada (link yotube)
