Clouds roll over the historical town of the Q'eros people, high in the Cordillera de Paucartambo, Andes Mountains, Peru on September 15, 2005. Most Q'eros live at higher elevations during the dry season to herd alpaca, but potatoes and other staples are grown in this village, at a lower altitude of 11,000 feet. The Q'eros, a Quecha people living in the Peruvian Andes, are considered the last direct descendants of the Incas and proudly maintain many of the ancient traditions.
