'Dog Day Afternoon' Chapter 4. I walked up one of Cusco's most sloped streets to see the city from a high spot. Wait, not that high. I deliberately crouched to reach the eye level of this pintoresque dog, as if I were just another pooch, his pal, standing right there at the heart of the Imperial City of the Incas.

'Contact'.
Chapter 3. I move on. The road keeps doing zig zag. After passing 2 or 3 small villages hidden either by clouds or mountains, I stop. I take some time to study the inhabitants. This is no longer Machu Picchu and they're not that used to interact with strangers. This man turns back the exact moment I press the shutter - while his dog, well, was at the toilette.

'Scape the desert'.
Chapter 5.
I'm heading to the north of Perú, and my bus passes, as usual, so many tiny villages lost on the way, that I'm sure I will soon forget them all. But not this one. I cannot forget the hopeless-desperate look on this girl, even though I was invisible to her. She's staring at the dry and sandy sunset - I wonder if she does this every day - , while her mother works fixing a tire.
