More of Peru

Ok back to Peru.  Ia m up to day 6 of our journey.  Today we are leaving Urubamba and going to Machu Picchu....with a couple of stops along the way.

Our first stop is to witness a traditional healing ceremony preformed by a Shaman or Curandero, an Andean medicine man.  It is a healing and also a prayer for good health and well-being including offerings to Pachamama, a deity associated with fertility and Mother Earth.

It was very interesting and moving ceremony.  A few images below.  I have video as well but only doing stills right now as that seems to be the more popular choice, judging by reactions I am seeing.
