Books we love:

“The Popol Vuh is considered one of the most important texts about the Mayans and the ancient history of the Americas. Although scholars acknowledge its significance and other versions of the book have been published, it's not commonly known.”

in Puno, , people celebrate the Fiesta Jubilar every year. It commemorates the Spanish foundation on 5th Nov. But people also pay homage to Manco Capac and his wife (Mama Huaco or Mama Uqllu, depending on the version of the story).

Check out Intrepid Dudettes of the Inca Empire for more on these amazing Inca rulers!
