Baby from Huarochiri in an Andean cradle Huarochirí, a Peruvian Culture in Time
Huarochirí is an Andean province near Lima, Peru. This site offers an ethnographic and historical tour of some of its communities. It samples the Huarochirí Quechua Manuscript, which alone among colonial documents explains a pre-Christian tradition in an Andean language, and visits modern highlanders who inhabit and interpret the mythic landscape.
