Description
This colorfully bundled, adorable little South American girl in Ollantaytambo, Peru, is warily watching people go by her weathered blue doorway. Isn't she a shy and cute little toddler?!
Ollantaytambo (called by locals Ollanta) is a town in the Sacred Valley of the Incas near Cuzco in the Southern Sierra region of Peru. This is where the Incas retreated after the Spanish took Cuzco and most of the silver and wealth of the surrounding area. Much of the town is laid out in the same way as it was in Inca times. It is probably the oldest continually inhabited town in the Western hemisphere.

What a sweet little face. A little wary of the beautiful lady with the camera she offers a tiny smile...Her fingers are nervously playing with each other but she allows the photo. I love your description of her. Found this gem in the Children as the subject matter contest and voted for you. Good luck!
