Beauties of the Andes


For travelers in South America, the Andes offer at the same time a physical phenomena and a cultural marvel. Travelers are sure to be awed by the beauty of landscapes, as well as by the rich culture and traditions of the Andean people. Colors, music, and believings of the populations contribute to the character of the Andes as much as the majestic mountains, the lakes of height and the deserts of salt.
The images presented in this gallery result from journeys in Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru, made from 2000 till 2007.
I used the argentic camera in 2000 and 2001 and the digital technology after.
I hope that this some images will make you feel a little of the magic and powerful magnetism of the Andes...

Pour les voyageurs en Amérique du Sud, les Andes offrent à la fois un phénomène physique et une merveille culturelle. Les voyageurs sont sûrs d'être admiratifs des paysages, aussi bien que de la riche culture et des traditions des peuples des Andes. Les couleurs, la musique, et les croyances des populations contribuent au caractère des Andes autant que les montagnes majestueuses, les lacs d'altitude et les déserts de sel.
Les photos présentées dans cette galerie proviennent de voyages en Bolivie, au Chili, Equateur et Pérou effectués de 2000 à 2007.
J'ai utilisé l'appareil argentique jusqu'en 2001 et le numérique ensuite.
J'espère que ces quelques images vous feront ressentir un peu de la magie et du puissant magnétisme des Andes...
