A spiritual heir & true descendant of the Inca civilization.

I think of my friend Pascuala Mescco Pumayalli frequently. I’ve been fortunate to have Pascuala stay with me two times, and me with her. It is so impressive how her daily rituals are tied to her ancient traditions. At dawn we went walking through the ruins in Chinchero. It hadn’t even crossed her mind to leave her drop spindle behind. No doubt the last 52 of her 56 years she leaves her adobe home with her yarn & spindle. The incredible Inca site in Chincerho was her playground as a child. She knows where her ancestors sat and spun yarn. She is a spiritual heir & true descendant of the Inca civilization.
