Song of the Andes Peru - Flipbook - Page 19
Travel information
Peru sits where three worlds meet: the Andes rise like a stone spine from the Pacific
desert to the Amazon headwaters, creating extreme altitudes, microclimates, and
extraordinary biodiversity.
This dramatic geography underpins an equally vivid sacred map. In Andean cosmovision,
snow peaks are apus (mountain spirits), valleys are the body of Pachamama (Mother
Earth), and rivers like the Willkamayu (Urubamba) are living serpents of power.
