The Children of Cusco
Adventure Travel, Backpacking & Trekking, Lost Girls RTW Adventure, Peru, Photography & Video — By Lost Girls on June 26, 2006 at 11:05 pmThe Lost Girls find themselves 11,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains in Cusco, Peru. This center of ancient Inca culture boasts bustling squares, historic cathedrals and rainbow-colored flags. But what the Lost Girls find most enchanting about this city are all of the beautiful children. As we wander the cobblestone streets, what captures our attention the most are the kids who are coming home from school, playing in doorways and selling local crafts. The best part is watching their little faces light up when we show them the images of themselves on our digital camera screens. Since most of these children have never seen photos of themselves, the Lost Girls are happy to provide this service. Take a look!

awesome, ladies! you girls are seriously my heros! you have no idea how excited i am to follow this trip – and this slide show of the children is amazing – are these all pics you took?
Hi Jen! Okay, I totally missed your going-away and neglected to call/email. Luckily I still had your invite and a search on Google with your names brought me to your blog. 🙂 Congrats on the beginning of your adventure! I will be following you online and will let you know if my mom and her boat are, at any point, near you!
Absolutely incredible. They are gorgeous and you all are fabulous – totally jealous but completely happy to be living vicariously thru your adventures!
Can I just say that this is one of the sweetest things I’ve ever read? Not to mention those adorable images. OK, OK … I can go back to being all macho and manly now :0)
Aww…we love all of these pictures,too! We´re now staying in a great place called “Hotel NiÑo” where all of the profits go to children in need. Look for a future post on this!

Oh I love Cusco! I hope I can go back there again someday. I’m sure you’re having a wonderful time, and the kids really are special there.
