Touring the Mantaro Valley

Ray (Jon's dad) and Judy were taken on a tour to see some of the sights that the "Mantaro Valley" has to offer. We were able to visit some of the villages and experience some of their trades.



 The lake provided some beautiful scenery as well as some interesting historical stories.


Jon offered to do some of the rowing on the boat since motors were prohibited on the lake.
The valley has quite a few fishery's. We were able to visit a big "Trout" fishery and eat some fresh fish at one of the touristic restaurants in the area.


 My dad is always showing how big the fish was with his hands. It brought back some fond memories of how I would always catch the big ones on our trips (lol).

 Each Peruvian village takes pride in their decorative plazas with statues and fountains.
 "Ocopa" is a convent with quite a history. I was impressed with the high volume of historical books in the library as well as a museum explaining the history of the area.
