Chiguata

Chiguata is my homepatch one again (last time back in 1995/96), there is nothing more relaxing than a walk in this area. The people are gentle and the scenery extraordinary. There are also a lot of interesting birds in the area, just around Chiguata itself there are 70+ species to be seen, but if you add the polilepis wood and "Salinas" we talk about 140+ species.
Harvestime

White-throated Earthcreeper is one of the specialities in the area.
The church in Chiguata.

A colourful Black-hooded Sierra-Finch is hiding between the branches.

    Cool! I wish I had a good camera when I went to chiguata. I took notes on some of the trails around there going to cachamarca and cariri. http://dalstonian.blogspot.com/peru-in-two-weeks.html
