CHAPTER 75 (1923—Continued) CHAPTER 75 (1923—continued) Visit Lima, Cusco in Peru—Pass through Bolivia to Chile—Experience in Valparaiso— Important Meetings in Santiago—Cross the Andes Mountains—Sojourn in Argentina. Wed., Mar. 7. We met a Mr. Lind, a fellow-passenger on the “Santa Luisa,” and took breakfast together. We then visited the great cathedral on the beautiful Plaza de Armas, in Lima, where we saw the bones or mummified remains of Pizarro, the conqueror of Peru. We next took an automobile ride to places of interest and then called on Dr. Alehandro Puente, who received us very kindly and immediately set to work to obtain audience for us with His Excellency Augusto B. Leguia, president of the Republic of Peru. He saw the president who in the midst of some special meeting with representatives of Central American republics could not receive us until the next day, which of course would be too late for our itinerary; but he dictated letters of introduction to the prefects of Cusco and Arequipa, which Dr. Puente gave us as we called on him again at noon. We also called to see Hon. Alberto Salamon, Peruvian Minister of Foreign Affairs, but failed to make connections with him. But this gentleman afterwards sent a special messenger on board the “Santa Luisa” with letters of introduction to the prefects of Cusco and Arequipa and another officer at Molindo. This messenger came on board just before the ship sailed. While in Lima we visited the office of “The West Coast Leader,” the only English newspaper published at that time in South America between Panama and Valparaiso. Finally we visited the Museum and then returned to Callao. There we took a walk and then went back to the ship, which lifted anchor at 6.00 p.m. After sailing past the barren island of San Lorenzo we were once more on the broad face of the Pacific. We had enjoyed our short visit in Lima, which is one of the oldest cities in America, being founded by Pizarro in 1535 and at the time we were there had a population of nearly 250,000. Callao, the seaport of Lima, had about 50,000 inhabitants in 1923. Thurs., Mar. 8. We cast anchor for a short time off the seaport town of Pisco and after that found ourselves sailing between the mainland on our left and some barren yet pic- turesque island on our right. The weather was cool and pleasant. A heavy mist hung over the land looking east so that the Andes Mountains were hardly visible, although not so very far away. The coast was still barren, and looked like a continuous desert. Only where a river puts into the ocean, or where irrigation had been resorted to, was there anything green in sight. In the evening Captain Dexter invited Bro. Page and me into his cabin and chart room and took great pains to give us information about navigation, showing us the different CHAPTER 75 559 uses to which the nautical or astronomical instruments on board were put in steering and managing the ship’s machinery. Capt. Dexter was a native of Nova Scotia, about 40 years old. He was sociable and well posted in regard to affairs generally. Without entering into a religious discussion, we explained briefly some of the fundamentals of “Mormonism.” Fri., Mar. 9. About sunrise we were sailing a few miles from the Peruvian shore, which at this point was skirted with lofty but barren desert hills. The sky was clear, but every day the weather seemed to get colder as we got further away from the equator and reached the point where the cold Humboldt current strikes the coast nearer the Antarctic south. About 11 o’clock a.m. the ship cast anchor off Mollenda, and about an hour later we bade farewell to the “Santa Luisa” and landed, being hoisted from the launch (which took us ashore from the ship) in a chair to the top of the wall. After attending to mail matters and taking a walk through the town which contained about 10,000 inhabitants, we boarded a Southern Peru Railway train and started for the inland town of Arequipa, 107 miles away. This railway journey was very interesting as we climbed the mountains to an elevation of 7,750 feet above sea level, most of the way through a genuine desert where the only green spots were a few cultivated acres by the various railway stations, and these spots were irrigated from a pipe line built in connection with the railway from Arequipa to Mollenda. The building of the railway exhibits great engineering skill indeed, the climbing being made over a somewhat easy grade all the way. We arrived at Arequipa at 8 o’clock p.m. and hired an automobile to take us to the “Quinta Bates Home” at 604 Jerusalem St., where we engaged lodging and board for four days as it was considered best to stop in Arequipa a few days in order to become used to the high altitude, instead of going still higher at once. After taking a walk to the “Plaza,” and back, we returned to the “Home” but the high altitude would not grant us sound slumber. Arequipa has about 60,000 inhabitants and is in point of population the second city in Peru. It lies near the foot of Mount Mista, whose snow-capped summit is 18,960 feet above sea level. We found the atmosphere cold and invigorating at Arequipa and our heavier clothing comfortable. Sat., Mar. 10. Elder Page and I spent the forenoon visiting cathedrals, churches, gov- ernment buildings, and other places of interest at Arequipa. In the afternoon we took street car rides to Tingo Miroflores. We also waited on Dr. Juan Manuel de la Torre, the prefecto of the Department of Arequipa, to whom the president of Peru had given me a letter of introduction. As the prefect could not speak English and we could not speak Spanish, we had to converse through an English-speaking Peruvian. Sun., Mar. 11. Together with four other persons (two men and their wives) Bro. Page and I walked about four miles across the Chili River and through the village of Yanaguara to the Harvard University Observatory which is situated on elevated ground overlooking Arequipa and the whole basin in which it is situated. Here we were kindly received by Prof. Bailey, who had charge of the observatory. He made explanations to us concerning the telescopes and other instruments, and permitted us to look through one of the power- ful telescopes at Mount Mista, 11 miles distant, on which an iron cross, 30 feet high, had been erected by the observatory men. Two other mountains, namely, Chachani, 20,000 feet high, and Pechu Pichu, 18,967 feet high, raise their snowy summits heavenward near Arequipa as parts of the Andes range. In the afternoon we took an automobile ride to the so-called Jesus Springs (mineral water) and thus had another splendid view of the Arequipa Basin from a point high up on the mountain side. These springs are about eight miles from Arequipa. On this trip we saw the first llamas which we had seen in South America. 560 AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ANDREW JENSON Mon., Mar. 12. We purchased railway tickets for La Paz, via Cusco, and changed some of our American currency for Peruvian money. Tues., Mar. 13. We left Arequipa and started on our long railway journey further inland. As we proceeded up a heavy grade, we saw beautiful fields and gardens as long as irrigation was continued, but after that there was nothing but badlands with an occasional plot of irrigated spots, at the base of the foot hills of the Andes Mountains. After traveling 44 miles we had reached an altitude of 12,000 feet above sea level and crossed the summit of the Andes at an elevation of 14,688 feet. The descent on the east slope was quite steep, and we soon passed between two large mountain lakes, and after crossing another divide we found ourselves following a river, and thence across a broad pampas or plain, until we reached Juliaca, a small railroad town. Here we lodged at the Ratti Hotel for the night. Both the room we occupied and the food served us were miserable. We also felt the alti- tude quite oppressive, that of Juliaca being 12,550 feet above the level of the sea. The least exertion made us pant for breath and in order to sleep we had to place a very high pillow under our heads. Our hearts beat unusually fast and we began to feel concerned about our physical condition, but while we did not sleep soundly during the night, we breathed more freely after relaxing from all physical exertions. During the day, as we traveled along, we saw numerous herds of llamas and alpacas and a number of Indian villages and ranches, where the habits and industries of the inhabitants were most interesting to us. Some of the country through which we passed reminded us of our mountain country in Utah. Juliaca is 189 miles by rail from Arequipa. Wed., Mar. 14. After partaking of a very poor breakfast we boarded the semi-weekly train for Cuzco and rolled out of Juliaca. Our course was northward up the Rio Pucaro and its tributaries until we reached the summit of the mountains, 14,153 feet above sea level, at Santa Raya, 99 miles from Juliaca. This summit divides the waters draining into Lake Titicaca from those falling into the Atlantic Ocean through the great Amazon River system.

  • Tracing a Major Crustal Domain Boundary Based on the Geochemistry of Minor Volcanic Centres in Southern Peru
    7th International Symposium on Andean Geodynamics (ISAG 2008, Nice), Extended Abstracts: 298-301 Tracing a major crustal domain boundary based on the geochemistry of minor volcanic centres in southern Peru Mirian Mamani1, Gerhard Wörner2, & Jean-Claude Thouret3 1 Georg-August University, Goldschmidstr. 1, 37077 Göttingen, Germany ([email protected], [email protected]) 2 Université Blaise Pascal, Clermont Ferrand, France ([email protected]) KEYWORDS : minor volcanic centres, crust, tectonic erosion, Central Andes, isotopes Introduction Geochemical studies of Tertiary to Recent magmatism in the Central Volcanic Zone have mainly focused on large stratovolcanoes. This is because mafic minor volcanic centres and related flows that formed during a single eruption are relatively rare and occur in locally clusters (e.g. Andagua/Humbo fields in S. Peru, Delacour et al., 2007; Negrillar field in N. Chile, Deruelle 1982) or in the back arc region (Davidson and de Silva, 1992). These studies showed that the "monogenetic" lavas are high-K calc-alkaline and their major, trace, and rare elements, as well as Sr-, Nd- and Pb- isotopes data display a range comparable to those of the Central Volcanic Zone composite volcanoes (Delacour et al., 2007). It has been argued that the eruptive products of these minor centers bypass the large magma chamber systems below Andean stratovolcanoes and thus may represent magmas that were derived from a deeper level in the crust (Davidson and de Silva, 1992; Ruprecht and Wörner, 2007). This study represents a continuation of our work to understand the regional variation in erupted magma composition in the Central Andes (Mamani et al., 2008; Wörner et al., 1992).

Nerlich Copyright © 2015 Maria Constanza Ceruti. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. This study will focus on frozen mummies of sacrificial victims from mounts Llullaillaco (6739 m), Quehuar (6130 m), ElToro (6160 m), and the Aconcagua massif. These finds provide bioarchaeological data from mountaintop sites that has been recovered in scientifically controlled excavations in the northwest of Argentina, which was once part of the southern province of the Inca Empire. Numerous interdisciplinary studies have been conducted on the Llullaillaco mummies, including radiological evaluations by conventional X-rays and CT scans, which provided information about condition and pathology of the bones and internal organ, as well as dental studies oriented to the estimation of the ages of the three children at the time of death. Ancient DNA studies and hair analysis were also performed in cooperation with the George Mason University, the University of Bradford, and the Laboratory of Biological Anthropology at the University of Copenhagen. Ethnohistorical sources reveal interesting aspects related to the commemorative, expiatory, propitiatory, and dedicatory aspects of human sacrifice performed under Inca rule.

  • Magmatic Processes by U-Th Disequilibria Method
    Magmatic processes by U-Th disequilibria method. Comparison of two Andean systems: El Misti Volcano (S. Peru) and Taapaca Volcanic Center (N. Chile). Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultäten der Georg-August-Universität zu Göttingen vorgelegt von Aneta Kiebala aus Rzeszów (Polen) Göttingen 2008 D 7 Referent: Prof. Dr. G. Wörner Korreferent: Prof. Dr. B. Hansen Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 03.04.2008 2 Abstract El MistiVolcano (South Peru) and Taapaca Volcanic Complex (North Chile) both located in the Central Andean Volcanic Zone in South America have been studied in order to place constrains on the evolution of their distinct magmatic systems. Althought both volcanic ceneters are located in similar general geological settings (CVZ) they show very contrasting magmatic evolution. El Misti volcano is a single stratocone (<112ka, Thouret et al., 2001), which erupted magmas ranging between 58 and 68wt% SiO2. By contrast Taapaca is a long- lived dome cluster (1.27 Ma to Holocene, Wörner et al., 2004a; Clavero et al., 2004), which erupted magmas ranging between 60 and 71wt% SiO2. However the majority (69%) of samples fall into the narrow range of 63 to 67wt% SiO2. The radiogenic Sr-isotopic compositions are slightly higher for El Misti (0.7075-7078) than for Taapaca (0.7063-7067). Pb isotopic compositions are different, most likely reflecting the composition of assimilated continental crust (e.g. 206Pb/204Pb=17.68-17.84 for El Misti and 18.10 for Taapaca (Mamani et al., 2004)). The two studied volcanic systems are very different in their U-Th disequilibria measured by TIMS.

[email protected] Una red de sensores de las temperaturas del aire y el suelo instalados en 2004-2014 ha permitido encontrar permafrost en los volcanes Coropuna (6377 m) y Chachani (6057 m). Sin embargo en el volcán Misti (5820 m) no hay permafrost, circunstancia que se ha atribuido al calor geotérmico (Andrés et al, 2011). Misti y Chachani están muy próximos entre sí, junto a la ciudad de Arequipa (sur de Perú). El Coropuna está 150 km hacia el oeste. En Misti y Coropuna han ocurrido varias erupciones volcánicas en los últimos 10 ka (Thouret et al, 2002; Úbeda et al, 2012). En Chachani la actividad volcánica parece mucho más vieja, aunque no ha sido investigada todavía. Coropuna está cubierto por un sistema glaciar de ~40 km2 (23-11-2013) y alrededor del complejo volcánico hay morrenas que indican una superficie >500 km2 hace >10 ka (Úbeda, 2011). En Chachani la evidencia también sugiere gran extensión en el pasado, aunque en ese caso no se conservan glaciares hoy en día.

    CUSCO Location Cusco, the gateway to Machu Picchu, is located in the valley of the Huatanay River in the southeast of the Andes at 3400 meters above sea level. Cusco is 1153 Kms. southwest from Lima. History Cusco is the former capital of Tahuantinsuyo, the center of the Empire of the Four Regions and the "Navel of the world”. From this city unfurled one of the most remarkable empires in the history of mankind. The Incas expanded their frontiers in less than one hundred years from the north of Quito in Ecuador to Santiago de Chile far south. In the eastern direction they reached Argentina. Although the Incas are not well known in the western world, they were bigger than many ancient cultures intensively studied. CUSCO, MACHU PICCHU AND SACRED VALLEY 4 DAYS / 3 NIGHTS (Expedition Train) Day 1: Lima – Cusco Departure from Lima city to Cusco. Upon arrival, reception, assistance and transfer to the hotel. Visitors should take a short rest in order to adjust to altitude. 13:00h Afternoon tour of the city visiting the Koricancha Temple and the Cathedral. Continue to the surrounding ruins: the fortress Sacsayhuamán overlooking the city, Kenko, Puca-Pucara and Tambomachay ruins. 18:00h Afternoon return to Cusco and hotel. Day 2: Cusco - Machu Picchu - Cusco Breakfast in the hotel. 05:40h Transfer from the hotel to the train station. 06:05h Take the morning train for a full day tour of Machu Picchu, the "Lost City of the Incas" one of the most renowned examples of Inca architecture.
