Dos chicos toman fotos a quien desee con una réplica de madera de este famoso edificio para luego venderla. Los niños son los más entusiastas.

Lamps on tree

I saw a nice detail on a Christmas Tree, my favorite theme: lamps :)

Main Square Trujillo is the place of the " Christmas Lights Festival", some local enterprises participate with an original tree. I'll show you some of these trees on the next post.

Faith walking

On 15th December, many devotees of the "Virgin from the door" (Virgen de la Puerta) visit the city of Otuzco by the feasts of the Virgin Mary, some of them prefer to walk 75 km as a sign of devotion.

When I went back to Trujillo, I found some of these pilgrims on the road.

Cada 15 de diciembre, muchos devotos de la Virgen de la Puerta, visitan la ciudad de Otuzco por las fiestas de la Virgen María, algunos prefieren caminar 75 Km como muestra de devoción.

De regreso a Trujillo, encontré a algunos de estos peregrinos en el camino.

Toys with moche design

I visited to artisans in wood from Magdalena de Cao, they made toys with design moche, a simple way to show the historic and old people from that place.

Visité a algunos artesanos en madera de Magdalena de Cao, quienes han hecho juguetes con diseños moche, esta es una simple manera de mostrar a los antiguos e históricos habitantes de ese lugar.

a touch of blue

At Trujillo downtown you can see similar old houses, some of them rent a part of the house and the new tenants paint only their part... this no so good, but is a curious note from downtown.

Another view

I was walking at Trujillo downtown and I saw the Cathedral of a different way, behind a metal net.

estuve caminando por el centro de Trujillo y vi la Catedral en un ángulo diferente, detrás de una malla metálica.

Little town

This is a model of old Trujillo, surrounded by walls with four portals of entry, two of them still exist, including one keeps trees that give their welcome.

Esta es una maqueta del Trujillo antiguo, rodeado de parede, con cuatro portales de ingreso, dos de ellos aún existen, uno de los cuales aùn mantiene a sus arboles que dan la bienvenida.

Theme day: Bridge

If you want to go to Poroto, you have to cross this little bridge... it's very noisy. Bloggers from Daily City Photo Blog chose this theme today: Bridges. Enjoy these posts :)
