Young girl with her cow near the Andean community of Upis along the Interoceanic Highway (3,800 m in elevation) about three hours from Cusco. People from the villages, like this girl, are generally happy about the new highway because they are able to reach Cusco and other cities in significantly less time. An artisan project in Upis is supported by Interoceanica SUR (iSUR), an organization that seeks to promote conservation efforts around the new Interoceanic Highway that streteches across Peru and Brazil.
