Perú Photography
Selected shots from my travels to Perú over the course of 2016 - 2020.
Collectively these photos define my time living, working, and traveling throughout this beautiful country. They also capture the essence of a country that is blessed with such a diverse and complex culture, people, history, climate, and geography.
Like the flow of an Amazonian river, change is happening rapidly and unpredictably in this developing country. Despite all it's faults and flaws, Te Amo Perú!
