Peruvian Perros

As everyone has told us, no trip to Peru would be complete without seeing one of the new 7 wonders of the world. Machu Picchu was nice, but a mere hour after viewing the last city of the Incans, I had the pleasure of seeing this monstrosity:

That´s right, it´s the Peruvian Hairless (almost) Dog. As you can see, it possesses some hair which has taken the form as the too oftenly confused with a cool haircut: mowhawk. It´s skin is as black as oil, and tends to form excessive wrinkles when the dog reaches maturity. Unfortunately, this is not an aesthetically pleasing conbination.

Lauren and I had the pleasure of first seeing this creature at a restaurant in Aguas Calientes (just below Machu Picchu). And as we began to embrace our first trip back to civilization after our 4 day trek, this creature had to come along and transport us back to medievil times.

Enjoy (another Peruvian dog, more reminiscent of the cruelty witnessed in the states)
