Legend has it that Mendívil saw llamas parading in the Corpus Christi procession as a child and later infused this image into his religious art, depicting all his figures with long, llama-like necks. In the small gallery are the maguey-wood and rice-plaster sculptures of the Virgin with the elongated necks that were the artist's trademark." - Fodors

  • 12-Angled Stone Inca Wall <br /> Hatunrumiyoc <br /> Cuzco<br /> <br /> "The Incas were master architects, masons, and stone cutters. They were known to fit carved stones so close together that the mortar was almost invisible. Blocks of stone had to be cut, ground, and polished until the outer surfaces locked perfectly. Today, it is still uncertain how the Incas cut stone. Most buildings required vasts amounts of labor, and the Inca had no wheels, cranes, or lifting devices."

  • The Uros: Pre-Incan people that live on the self-made Floating Uros Islands on Lake Titicaca. The islands are fashioned from totora reeds, and the people believe they are the true owners of the lake. The purpose of the island settlements was originally defensive, and if a threat arose from the Inca and Colla cultures, the Uros' island homes could easily be moved.

  • The Uros Islands are literally layers and layers of totora reeds that are weaved together. As they rot from the bottom in the water new layers are added. The reeds are also used to build their houses and boats as well as the many crafts that they sell throughout the islands. The reeds are truly at the centre of the Uros peoples' lives.

  • The Uros call themselves Kotsuña, “the lake people”, and their origins go back to eras before the Incas.
