Beautiful, Tanguera! The detail is exquisite.
(They sure have tidied the place up since I was there in the '80s) |

Been there! A-maze-ing!! That craggy mountain shooting up on the right hand side is immense and it reminds me of a giant tooth!

| Amazing detail. Something weird going on when you zoom in on the group of people lower left corner. Like seeing the guy on top of the smaller peak in the middle directly behind the ruins. Wonderful. |

There's a disembodied head on the stair treads close to the blue oxford shirt guy too :-) Look for it. Sacrifice? |

When I was there in circa 1984, you could climb that tall mountain peak in the b'ground, but you had to sign in before the climb. The sign-in station was a little open air shack manned by a little snaggletoothed guy who had a grimy bit of lined paper and the stub of a pencil. When you came back, you signed back in. Those of my group who went found it a treacherous trail but worth the climb. If you didn't come back, they went looking, but not very hard, as the trail was extremely difficult and if you fell, well.... "Another German, Englishman, American, etc." fell to his (they were always male) death. Bodies were then seldom reclaimed (so I understood) and only your nationality was preserved for posterity.
Obviously, since I'm still here, I went only as far as the sign-in station, and returned to explore less life-threatening adventures. Like sacrificial alters. And getting a chance, early in the morning, to pet the resident flearidden Llama named Pedro. |

I found him...beige cap, head looking picture right, sunglasses...perhaps if you mentioned the blue shirt guy's hat or the color of the top the woman directly in front of him it would narrow down the search even further. But there are others, discussed a bit here.

He he, I found it super fast :) They must have left it in for fun as the guy just above the head is giving the camera a thumbs up and must be involved with the photographer somehow. So surely they would have seen the "error"... |

Wow! It was much more commercial when I went in 96. There's a restaurant up at the top now!!! Sweet buffet! Lots of hamster skewers! Plenty of Alpacha hissing at you in the ruins!!
