Blood for gold
by Foad07-Jan-2008
I was recently fortunate enough to take an 11-day trip to Peru and Ecuador. My visit to Peru was highlighted by a visit to Machu Picchu where the old Inca population had a horrendously bloody past. A generation of natives Incas were massacred by Spanish conquistadors for their gold and silver under the pretext of introducing Christianity (does it sound a little bit familiar?) to the natives. The visit to Ecuador was highlighted with a trip to the Galapagos archipelago. It is the birth place of Darwin's theory of evolution and subsequent publication of "On the Origin of Species"; a theory that has withstaood 150 years of scientific scrutiny.
I hope you enjoy this photo essay (forgive me not a professional photographer) as much as I did taking the pictures.

by Nima Aflaki (not verified) on Mon Jan 07, 2008 06:21 PM PSTI wish I had American passport to be able to travel most of the world without getting into the hassle of visa application. I am traveling to South America at the end of January and still have problems with my Argentine visa. Believe me. It is not easy to get visas with Iranian passport. Anyways, I wish you had a great trip to South America....
