Images of Nature by Kendall and Susanne Corbin



Quichuan Woman, Peru: Order Code Hn-03
Subject:  Quichuan Woman, Peru
Date: November 1983
Locale: Abra Malaga, Departamento de Cuzco, Peru at 13,400 feet above sea level.
Photographer:  Kendall W. Corbin
Comments: This native Quichuan woman, with her beautiful smile, lives a full mile in elevation above the village of Ollantaytambo. It is an extraordinarily rugged existence, tending sheep and llamas, washing in the glacial stream that runs through her small village, and living in a stone hut with an earthen floor. Her hat signals that she speaks only Quichuan.
