Drummer in a group for the Inti Raymi celebration.
Festivities begin for Inti Raymi, the "Festival of the Sun," in Cusco during the week of solstice.
Plaza de Armas, Cusco
Ceremony complete. Now we are men.
Poor-man's bridge.  (To make the obstacle stay up boys had to support it on each side.)
Playing with fire.  (Many boys caught the hoop and even yanked it from the others' grip. Fortunately their costumes were flame retardant I guess.)
Jumping through hoops.  (After sprinting to other villages carrying logs, you never know when flaming hoops will bar the way home.)
Coming of age isn't complete without fire.
