By airplane, train, automobile, boat and bus,
Bruno J. Navarro traversed the Andean nation
of Peru for the first time since 1983.

From Lima, Navarro headed to the colonial
city of Iquitos, near the headwaters
of the Amazon. A major port during rubber
boom of the late 19th century and early
20th century, Iquitos remains inaccessible
to this day by road or rail.

Next was the ancient Incan capital
of Cuzco, a short distance from the
hidden city of Machu Picchu.

Puno, several hours by bus, sits on the shore
of the largest, highest-elevation navigable
body of water in the world. Lake Titicaca
resides at some 12,000 feet above sea level.

Modern-day Uros are descendants of the native
people who escaped conquest by constructing
Islas Flotantes — floating islands made of reeds —
and retreating to Isla Taquile and Isla Amantaní,
which lacks electricity or motors of any kind.

Finally, Navarro visited the fishing village
of Pucusana and mountain town of San Bartolomé.
