The "Coricancha temple"

Hello, today I'm going to talk about a place I visited in october of 2011. I'll talk about Cusco City. In 2011 I participated in a flolkloric music group called "Takhi" (in Aymara it means "road"), it was a student group. For this reason the Tarapaca university invited us to participate in a congress about identity and mullticultural education. 

I was very excited because it was my first time traveling alone, without my parents. In the city, I saw a lot of interesting things. For example I visited the "Coricancha temple" (the Temple of Sun), which was unbelievably big. The arquitecture and the context of the Temple were the most surprising aspects to me. It was a half Quechua's temple and half a Catholic church. The temple represented all I knew about the religion syncretism. I visited other places, but Coricancha was the best. 

In my opinion, Cusco city is a beautiful and curious place. In any street you walk you can find a piece of history.

My Biography

Hi. my name is Ana Supanta, I study social Antrophology in Chile's university and this is my english blog for pre-intermediate class. For today I'm going to talk about my biography.

I'm 22 years old, I was born in Arica city, in the north of Chile. I lived all my life in this city but in 2011 I decided to move to Santiago to study Antrophology. It was not an easy decision for me, but it was necesary for my life, I needed to start taking my own decisions. 

When I was younger I began to get more interested in my culture of origin. I have aymara ancestry and this is one of the reasons I study antrophology. In addition, I really like folcklore music and after I graduate, I would like to continue my studies in etnomusicology. Ok. This is all for today.
