Fig. lui. — Market day at Huancayo. In existence at the time oi tlie 

 Spanish Conquest, this market still attracts Indians from a wide area every 

 Sunday. The gay dress of the people and the bright handmade blankets on 

 sale give color to the scene. 



Fig. 102. — Mount Juntay, near Huancayo. The peaks of this snow-covered 

 mountain, over 17,000 feet above sea-level, can be seen from many points 

 in the Mantaro Valley. The hardy llama, with its dense coat of wool, alone of 

 beasts-of-burden can exist at these highest altitudes.
