Peru Trip
Travel to Peru in November to attend the Alpaca Fiesta held Arequipa.
It was a very full few days with judging, conference proceedings, trade stands, gala dinner fashion parade etc. One of the highligts was the day excursion to Toccra to observe and participate in the Chaccu.
After the Fiesta, I participated in a short tour which included flying from Arequipa to Cusco, visiting Macchu Picchu and returning to Lima.
Here are some photos taken whilst in Peru.
