Extractions: Carabaya>> The Collasuyu Program promotes archaeological research in the Lake Titicaca Basin of Peru and Bolivia. AD Since that time, we have excavated a number of sites in the region and surveyed over 1500 km for archaeological sites. Our project has also collaborated in rescue efforts. In 1995, for example, at the request of Peruvian authorities, Edmundo de la Vega, Kirk Frye (a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Santa Barbara), and several other colleagues conducted a rescue project at a burial cave near the lake, in which the remains of over fifty mummies were recovered. In 1999, research began on the Ollachia River Valley on the eastern side of Lake Titicaca Basin. Dozens of archaeological sites dating to AD

You can wander around colonial cities that have preserved the legacy of the Spanish conquistadors, visit the ancient Inca capital of Cuzco, explore the lost city of Machu Picchu and ponder the enigma of the Nazca Lines. It also has some of the most spectacular and varied scenery in South America. The Peruvian Andes are arguably the most beautiful on the continent and the mountains are home to millions of highland Indians, who still speak the ancient tongue of Quechua and maintain a traditional way of life. Factoid Staying Afloat Lake Titicaca's floating islands are built using the buoyant totora reeds that grow abundantly in the lake shallows. The islands are constructed from many layers of totora, which are constantly replenished from the top as they rot from the bottom, so the ground is always soft and springy.

Descendants Of The Incas: Inca Weaving Traditions And Family Ties. By the Center For Traditional Textiles of Cusco, peru, promoting Inca weaving traditions. Contains images and stories, and descriptions of spinning, dyeing and weaving processes used. http://www.incas.org/
Extractions: Welcome to Descendants of the Incas. We hope the images and comments you explore will give you a flavor of the rich culture of Inca people living today near the city of Cusco, once the capital of the Inca empire. Descendants Of The Incas fulfills one of the major goals of the Center For Traditional Textiles of Cusco, Peru: to share information with you and others about the Native American culture of the Andes. The Center's overall purpose is to help preserve and celebrate Andean textiles and assist their makers in carrying on a tradition practiced for more than 2000 years. Nilda grew up in the high village of Chinchero, an important Inca center where, in the sixteenth century, the Emperor Tupa Inca built his country estate, a palace, temple, ceremonial spaces, terraces and royal storehouses. Chinchero also served as a Tambo or resting place on the Inca Royal Road. Machu Picchu, the so called "lost city of the Incas," not far from Chinchero, is thought to have served as the next Tambo on the Inca Road. We welcome any suggestions or feedback from you as you explore our site.
