Demonstration in the streets of Cusco

It just ain't a vacation in South America without at least one demonstration. We're not sure what this one was about, but there were lots of bullhorns, flag waving, and the ever-present representation of Evil Uncle Sam (look for the oversized stars and stripes-decorated top hat in the crowd.)

The rainbow flag has been used in Peru and surrounding countries since the time of the Incans, representing the unity of the different territories controlled by the Incan emperor. Today, it's used to symbolize native Quechuan pride.
