Some people, places and things can not be properly described - a photo seems to be a lacking solution to properly reflect the true nature... Puerto Inca is such a place.

The Inca, a direct decendant of the Sun - would be carried by from Cusco to Puerto Inca, some 400KM away for him to enjoy the beach, sit at his gold plated seat, and discuss whatever it is god´s discuss amongst themselves.

With a complete sense of isolation from the world outside, this Inca city, built in 1300 AD for the purpose of gathering, preparing, storing and transporting seafood, cotton, peppers and other staples to the remainder of the Inca´s empire - if the Inca wanted fresh seafood, his chasqui´s would run relays from Puerto Inca to Cusco and have it on his plate in less than 18 hours.

Pristine beaches, magnificent sunsets, lack TV - phone - internet and newspapers, excellent food, great people all made this perhaps the most exquisite place out of the five continents and thirty some odd coutries -

Peace of mind is the hardest place to get to - yet Puerto Inca intensified my respect for tis great civilization, furthered my relationship with my Creator, helped me to understand why I should pray for people I do not like, allowed me to understand why I love Michelle so completely and admire my daughter, and gave me a sense of thankfullness for my parents and the other people which have shaped my life - I almost had the cure to cancer and solution to world hunger, but i had to leave to go to my next destination-

Peace & Love from Arequipa - Perú
