Each of these photographs tells it's own individual story of the beautiful country that is Peru. From the harsh sunlight of the high Andes to the lush rainforest at the headwaters of the Amazon, from the coastal beaches to the dry islands on Lake Titicaca, I found beautiful people and ancient traditions and walked through gorgeous landscapes and over proud peaks. Although tourism is growing exponentially in Peru, I sought to capture the genuine passion and pride that continues to exist despite the influx of globalization.
