  • The Amazon River Without Secrets
    Geographic Society of Lima Jr. Puno 450, Lima; post office box 100-1176 Lima, Peru; phone (511) 4273723; (511) 4269930 e-mail: [email protected]; http://socgeolima.org Press Release THE AMAZON RIVER WITHOUT SECRETS Geographic Society of Lima resolves controversial hypotheses concerning the source of the Queen of all Rivers The mystery concerning the sources of the Amazon River, similar to the one concerning those of the Nile, has long been subject to never-ending speculations and academic disputes. The identification of the main river’s source section poses many difficulties for researchers, as all the hydrological criteria are rarely met at the same time. In the case of such a vast hydrographical system and such an important water artery as the Amazon River, the complications increase even more. Hydrologists believe that the stream which runs the most water, which is the longest, and who’s source lies highest above the sea level should be considered the main river. Equally important are criteria concerning the riverbed gradient, the basin activity or the morphology of the terrain. Also, the importance of culture is unquestionable. Sometimes the traditions preserved through history and the culture of a region are arguments influencing the choice of the main river. Since the time of Humboldt, the Marañón has been considered the source tributary of the Amazon River. In 1934 the geodesist Colonel Gerardo Dianderas formulated the insight that it would rather be the Ucayali as it is longer, of higher importance to the history of the region, navigable to a greater extend, and as it plays a more important economic role.

    Peru & Bolivia Tour PERU & BOLIVIA TOUR: DAY BY DAY ITINERARY Day Activities ActivitiesMeals Welcome To Lima- The "City of Kings": Upon arrival you will be met at the 1 airport and privately escorted to your hotel - Lima to Paracas: In the morning (or afternoon) your sightseeing tour explores Miraflores and San Isidro, the modern districts of Lima and its historic center, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The tour 2 includes a visit of San Francisco, the city's most visited church (1674). Its underground tunnels lead to catacombs that served as a cemetery until B 1808 and still contain bones and skulls. Our next stop is at the Larco Herrera Museum. The collection allows the understanding of 3,000 years of the Peruvian pre-Columbian history in an ituitive way. Its masterpieces are considered worldwide icons of pre-Inca art and have been displayed in the world´s most renowed museums. Lima . Paracas ( 260 km - Approx 4 hours): Transfer to the bus station for the regular tourist bus service from Lima to Paracas (unescorted). On B 3 arrival to the bus station in Paracas you will be met and transferred to the hotel. Afternoon at leisure Paracas/Ica/Nasca: Morning transfer to the Ballestas Islands, aboard a speedboat. Once you arrive you will enjoy close-up observations of dozens of sea lions as they swim near the boat or sun themselves on shore.

Its source has therefore intrigued scholars and explorers for centuries. A river’s source is often defined as the most distant upstream point in the drainage basin. For the past several decades, the longest upstream extension of the Amazon River has been held to be the Nevado Mismi area of the Río Apurímac drainage. We overturn this longstanding view by employing topographic maps, satellite imagery, digital hydrographic datasets and GPS tracking data to show that the Cordillera Rumi Cruz (10.7320°S, 76.6480°W; elevation ∼5220 m) in the Río Mantaro drainage lies 75–92 km further upstream than Nevado Mismi.

  • INDIGENOUS LIFE PROJECTS and EXTRACTIVISM Ethnographies from South America Edited by CECILIE VINDAL ØDEGAARD and JUAN JAVIER RIVERA ANDÍA
    INDIGENOUS LIFE PROJECTS AND EXTRACTIVISM Ethnographies from South America Edited by CECILIE VINDAL ØDEGAARD and JUAN JAVIER RIVERA ANDÍA APPROACHES TO SOCIAL INEQUALITY AND DIFFERENCE Approaches to Social Inequality and Difference Series Editors Edvard Hviding University of Bergen Bergen, Norway Synnøve Bendixsen University of Bergen Bergen, Norway The book series contributes a wealth of new perspectives aiming to denaturalize ongoing social, economic and cultural trends such as the processes of ‘crimigration’ and racialization, fast-growing social-economic inequalities, depoliticization or technologization of policy, and simultaneously a politicization of difference. By treating naturalization simultaneously as a phenomenon in the world, and as a rudimentary analytical concept for further development and theoretical diversification, we identify a shared point of departure for all volumes in this series, in a search to analyze how difference is produced, governed and reconfigured in a rapidly changing world. By theorizing rich, globally comparative ethnographic materials on how racial/cultural/civilization differences are currently specified and naturalized, the series will throw new light on crucial links between differences, whether biologized and culturalized, and various forms of ‘social inequality’ that are produced in contemporary global social and political formations.

Today, erosion of the eastern Andean cordillera and sub-Andean foothills supplies over 99% of the sediment load passing through the Amazon Basin. Denudation rates in the upper Ucayali basin are rapid, favoured by a marked seasonality in this region and extreme precipitation cells above sedimentary strata, uplifted during Neogene times by a still active sub-Andean tectonic thrust. Around 40% of those sediments are trapped in the Ucayali retro-foreland basin system.

La agricultura es su principal actividad social debido a la importancia colectiva no sólo de sus manifestaciones económicas y políticas, sino también religiosas. Por eso, este artículo se enfoca en las expresiones religiosas más visibles: el sincretismo católico-quechua y la fiesta laboral ritualizada del Yarqa Aspiy. Palabras clave: andes, agricultura, religión, Perú Abstract This paper analyzes agriculture in the Andean world through the case of the community of Yanque, district of Caylloma province, department of Arequipa (Perú). Agriculture comes to have an organizing force in this community not only for its economic and political effects, but also for its religious dimensions. For this reason, this paper focuses on one of the community’s most visible religious expressions: the Yarqa Aspiy, describing the ways in which this festival ritualizes labor in performances of Catholic-Quechua syncretism.

These temperature variations can Accepted 13 June 2014 be additionally linked with the changes in precipitation patterns by analysing C% and C/N ratio in the Available online core. Relatively warm and moist conditions prevailed from 4280 to 3040 cal. yrs BP (BC 2330e1090) with a short colder dry episode around 3850 cal. yrs BP (BC 1900). The most prominent climate changes Keywords: recorded in the peat occurred between 3040 and 2750 cal.
