There was an old civilization here, in the coast near Ilo city in the Peruvian south. Those ancient people cared this specific place as a sacred soil. Usually our myths in Peru are similar so I can imagine the white island (I think it’s an island) as a visitor from distant worlds, or a woman cheated by a lord of power that in her despair was received by the sea and turned in that way to never been forgotten.
The civilization disappeared thousands of years ago but even now the place exerts a fascination, a charm, in me as well…

I love your stories Francis :)
Thanks, Sylvie. Your words encourage me to find interesting stories to tell ^_^ Take care.

The woman island … I like that, Francis !
Thank you, Gilles. It’s a common tradition in the Peruvian mythology. Also it could be related with the moon. I’m going to research more.
Hoping you have a great new week, Gilles.
What a spot! Lovely!
Thank you, Lucy. It’s one of my favorite places in Peru, Ilo’s coast ☺
I love ancient civilisation histories so will look forward to the results of your research. I like the cacti standing guard.
They are like eternal soldiers… Cheers kind lady.
She just clings to the arid coastline of Peru, perhaps hoping to be invited back into the country…
I like how the golden color of the sand accentuates the turquoise blue of the water.
Abrazos y besos :)
Those colors are in great part due to the window of the bus, it introduced color casts to the image but I liked it ☺
Abrazos, besos, y gracias :-)
Peru is one my favourite countries .. Steeped in history
I’m happy you see our country in that way, Julie ^_^ Our oldest city started five thousand of years ago. So we have a rich history, but we need to work to get a better present. Thanks for you visit, I wish you great holidays :-)
And great holidays to you too 😃
