The climb to Mount Machu Picchu was exhausting, but luckily I had good weather. 💃My room mate had been there the day before and it had been raining. 🍀🌞
How do you like the view? 🙃

The bus rides were the greatest. But in my first description I was wrong. That's on my way from Ica to Cusco. Somewhere between Abancay and Cusco. I think, it was near to Curahuasi in the Apurímac region. Sorry for my mistake! ✌

You can see different symbols on the houses and on the mountains. In Peru, elections took place at the time. In rural areas, the literacy rate is lower. The symbols serve to advertise the candidates/ parties. The ballot papers also contain these symbols. At least that's how they explained it to me.

In the sacred valley of the Incas are these salt ponds. Traditionally, the salt mines have been available to any person of the community wishing to harvest salt. The size of the salt pond assigned to a family depends on the family's size.

I am very curious and impulsive. One day I will die because I licked the wrong stone. 🙃

On the beach of Paracas you have always seen this pelican. He's fed by the people so that he can serve as an attraction. It's not good for the environment to feed wild animals. Otherwise you can't blame the people. I think it was a brown pelican and not a Peruvian pelican.

Did you know about some moth,
that they get shelter by the sloth?
But also every butterfly,
is a welcome flutter-by!

Sloth fur harbors a diverse ecosystem of insects and algae including some species which are exclusively found in sloth fur. They are living in symbiosis, each species benefits from the other. The sloth moth eats the algae, the algae lives from the moth feces. The algae supplements the sloth's nutrient-poor diet of leaves.

Somewhere on Lanzarote. I love ochre!
The original name of this island was Tyterogaka, which means "one that is all ochre". Ground sloths dig a lot. Ground sloths dig deep. It's from 2007.

Actually, I shouldn't post this photo. It's from my last Mars vacation. 🚀☄
