Otuzsco, Peru is a city in the highlands of La Libertad, nearly 9000 feet above sea level. This is a rural, agricultural city whose economy is based on wheat, potatoes and livestock. In this city of steep, mountainous terrain, it's most well known for the Festival of the Virgin of La Puerta, a celebration for the patron saint of Otuzco, every December. While I happened to visit in December 2014 when I took this photo, I was not there during this festival.
