O Cristo Redentor, Rio de Janeiro

O Cristo Redentor, Rio de Janeiro

This solid statue of Christ the Redeemer sits well above the city of Rio, overlooking jungle, skyscrapers, and ocean from any given angle. Views from the top are endless...

Floating Islands, Lake Titicaca, Peru

Floating Islands, Lake Titicaca, Peru

A community of 2,000 people live on "La Isla de los Uros", the floating islands of Lake Titicaca near Puno, Peru. A self-governed, peaceful community, the Uros are decendents of one of the most ancient indigenous cultures of America. Separate floating masses are formed by using the abundant reed/totora material found in the shallow parts of the lake. During a visit to the islands we were served homemade bread from a miniature reed boat (a great souvenir to remember the experience!). The colorful hats, made from dyed Alpaca fur, also carry historical significance. A truly memorable day.
