Dear Readers,
There will always be a fascination about myths. When the greeks created philosophy, it was because the myth could not explain the world as it was anymore. Reality overflowed the myth as water in a glass. But they kept their gods and they made the balance between common people. Historians have been, for hundreds of years, before the tracks of Incan myths, and although the fact they were, in a great part, lost because of the Conquistadors and the lack of a communication device such as writing, people still wonder with the tales of people coming from lakes and mountains that talk with the priests.
But even when we can not precisely say how that or another ritual took place, we can still see strong traces through the Christian ceremonies all over the country, where the syncretism is more latent, and we see the Virgin worshiped as the Mother Earth and the God of the Christians as Viracocha, the creator of the world.
Have a mystic glimpse over the gods and myths of the Incas, see how they still take part of the ritual on the actual Corpus Christi of Cusco, discover the Chachpoyas culture and the magnificent fortress of Kuelap, get in touch with an unique ecosystem such as the Lomas de Lachay and please yourself with an exquisite escabeche. Remember, Peru is beyond an ordinary country!
Regards,
José and Cynthia
