CHILE - NATURE

Payachatas volcanoes

The Payachatas volcanoes are located in the northmost region of Chile called Arica y Parinacota. These volcanoes are Parinacota and Pomerape. There is a legend of the Aymare people, in which Pomerape (a prince) fell in love with Parinacota (a princess from a rival family). They were about to marry secretly but were killed. Then these lovers became the two volcanoes and could be together forever. On the postcard you can see llamas grazing in a marsh located 4500 metres above sea level, at the feet of the Pomerape and Parinacota volcanoes, whose snow-capped peaks rise above 6000m.

Beautiful stamps.
