Hats from Peru

by hatrevivalist on January 22, 2009

Here are some pictures of women with hats taken when I was in Peru in 2005. The one at the top of the post was a market vendor who was willing to pose for what I believe was around 50 cents. I love her flowery hat isn’t she a character?

I previously posted this picture during the testing phase of the blog but here we go again for the official record.

I was on the train to Machu Picchu and this woman was selling her wares by the train track while it stopped to pick up more travellers.  She has a stack of traditional llama wool hats stacked on her head.

These women were in colourful dress in the Sacred Valley near Cuzco. They dress up and offer to be photographed for a fee.

The picture below is of two women market vendors in a market in the Sacred Valley again. A lot of women in Peru wear masculine types of head wear.

Perhaps you world travellers out there can share your memories with all our hatty friends?
