First shot in Tacna, shortly after crossing into Peru from Chile and doing the "6 stamp shuffle"

There's a significant water source running under one of the city sidewalks on the main avenue of Tacna.
|
|
|
They use these doors to direct the water source left, right or straight - looks like it's going straight now.
|
|
|
|
Old steam locomotive. The sidewalk design makes you dizzy when you walk on it.
|
|
|
Locumba Cathedral. Lacumba is a 20 minute detour off the main road and I thought it would be more interesting.
|
|
|
|
Close to arriving to Moquegua the road descends into a more vegitation friendly valley.

Along the west side of the Plaza de Armas is the rustic looking Casa de Cultura.

Water is heated as it passes over the hot element inside; at first it's a bit scary, like showering with a hair dryer but you learn to ignore that.

Welcome to the Moquegua market. These are always fun.
