Featured are the children of San Pedro de Casta, the folkloric Andean village through which one must pass before arriving in the Markawasi Stone Forest. The people of San Pedro make their communal living by farming the terraced land of the surrounding mountains, as their ancestors did for thousands of years before them. They are the spiritual guardians of the meseta of Markawasi. It is their responsibility to see that those who are welcomed to the meseta feel safe and cared for during their stay. In return, visitors often bring gifts of much needed school supplies and children's clothing and shoes, featured here during our most recent visit in 2010. For more visit us at www.markawasi.com.
