Walking through Miraflores streets


I took this picture when I was walking through miraflores with my brother. We were eating a delicious mcdonalds burger        it was amazing to see so many people gathered together Peruvians, Argentines and Brazilians. They were all eating in the restaurants but I saw something very particular the Brazilians were encouraged to their team and I heard they insulted the Argentines .I was surprised .

Huacachina

This is my trip when I traveled to Huacachina-Ica I feel really amazed because I've never visited this place I remembered that I visited to my uncle's house 
Also I liked this place because I was really interested in the legend of Huacachina. The guides told me that she was a princess who cried for a long time and after her tears turned into a large lagoon.
I went up to the tubular cars that go at speed I feel excited

Beautiful vacations in the jungle-Intermediate 5-Indira Belén Marin


My cousin took the picture when we were in the jungle, specifically in oxampampa, we were waiting for my dad's whole family because it was a family walk for the anniversary of a family cooperative, everything was very fun. On the trip we went to many places like oxapampa, pozuzo, merced. We hired a restaurant in each destination because we were too many. We on the trip looked at many animals because we walked to the waterfall of the tiger and in that place we could observe many animals like a cock of the rocks and many more birds. We took many photos during the trip, the most incredible thing was that I forgot that I had taken some photos because the trip was beautiful, and at the end of the trip I remembered the photos and passed it to my whole family ev ery photo we took during the trip.

Contrasting - Madeleine Lazaro



On my vacations of the last year, I went to Huancavelica, Peru to visit my mother's family. One day we had to go to the water collection center to clean it and give maintenance, but it was over 4000 meters above sea level so I thought it would be hard to get there, but I don't said nothing about it... we were walking for about one hour and I was tired but also excited because the landscapes were so beautiful and interesting, you could see the clouds so near. After we finish we had to go back, I saw the horizon and it was about to rain, the gray clouds were approaching slowly, I could see that so clearly and I found it kind of interesting because that's something you can't see easily specially in the city full of buildings, so I took of my smart phone I make a photo. Now when I see that photo, I think of persons who live in the field and the city, and how contrasting are their lives and their goals.

When I was a child, I remember that I traveled to Cuzco and other cities. For example this photo took a friend called Fiorella. Each time that I see the photo, I feel so excited because it remember me all the adventures that I lived in the place. I traveled with my friends of my classroom, we did a tour for different cities like Pisco, Ayacucho, Tacna, Cuzco, Arequipa and Puno. Of all the cities that I visited I think the most beautiful city was Arequipa. However the city where I enjoyed more was Cuzco(Machu Picchu). When we arrived there. First  we went to sleep to a hotel, there I broke a window  because i was jumping in the bed with my friends. Then we traveled by train to a city near "Machu Picchu". Finally when we arrived I could see the incredible "Ciudadela de Piedra", it's was exciting. Another  of the incredible cities I visit was Puno because we sailed by the "Lago Titicaca" to reach an Island called "Los Urus".

our family trip / Gianella Lopez Gallardo / I05

I took this photo in Cusco in Machu Picchu exactly. I traveled with my family with my mom, dad and my brother, we passed many things since we arrived.
We visited many places but the one I liked the most was Machu Picchu because we took many photos is amazing as everything is built of stones.
The last day we met a woman, she was from Huancayo, she was 20 years old her name was Sofia.
Sofia took a very cool photo that was my favorite, but I lost that photo returning to my city. I was very sad because that photo was my favorite.
Later, when I saw more photos on my cell phone I found this photo I also like very much, I took this photo of the landscape with my brother 

BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE: Krisbel Castro


 I took this photo in Huancaya, Yauyos. The lagoon that you can see is called the turquoise lagoon, the people who live there told me that it is called that because all the water is turquoise. My family and I only spent one day in this place, but it was really relaxing. We were walking to know the whole place when we saw  that lagoon that has small waterfalls and I thought that I should have a picture of that place to always remember, since the landscape was beautiful. It is definitely the best photo I could have taken to not forget this place.




PACA LAGOON: Nayely Cuicapuza


I took this photo in Paca lagoon, Jauja. It was the first time that I visited that place, I really was excited because I wanted to visit it, I went with my family. My parents were not excited like me because they had visited the place before and they told me that it was not really interesting. When we arrived we went to have lunch, then we played and we took some photos. Some minutes later I told my mom and dad that I wanted to get in a boat, At first my mom was not convinced but finally she accepted and my family and me got in a boat. Though my mom was scared I thought that It was relaxing and while I was in the boat I thought about how beautiful was the landscape.Then I just took this photo wiht my camera. I did not use a professional camera and It is obvious that it cannot be the best photo but I really like it because it helps me to remember how beautiful is the world and that the moments with the family are the best.    

So? - Navarro Palpa Alison (intermediate 05)


When I took this photo las year on vacation all my family and me wanted to visited Callao, because my parents like to see graffiti and also statues. So, my family dicided to visit Callao.I really like this photo for two reasons, first because I like this park of Callao, I think is the most beautiful park that I never saw before. And the other reason is because when I took this photo my father told that in Callao everybody could steal me, at the first time I thought that is false but  minutes later someone stole my wallet and my cellphone. Then my mother told me that was a very dangerous area for all the assaults that were there. So,¿Why she wanted to go there if she knows that is a dangerous area?
So, when I see this photo I always remeber that day and I ask me What happened with my cellphone?
