It is very moving how in Latin America we treasure our ancestral past while mixing it with inherited European and immigrant culture.

In Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela you can see great Inca monuments and burials of aboriginal heroes. As well as beautiful Catholic churches with burials of colonizers.
