Mountains and Valleys

Members of the family enjoy walking long distances and appreciate the beauty of their surroundings, the snow-capped mountains, deep valleys, rivers, streams, cloud formations, hidden springs and dramatic weather changes.

Like their ancestors, modern Inca families still hold a reverence for nature and natural formations. People call the tall mountains Apus (pronounced Aah poos) and consider the snow mountains as holy.
