    you as a writer should know that the Inca Empire extented from southern panana all the way down to argentina. Now you have only listed a few countries here! BOLIVIA has machu picchi and you dont even bother to mention it on your blog?! thats shameful! take a look at this tittle:

    Climate Change Affecting Andes Mountain Villages in Peru

    and when you clicked on it it’s a report about a village in Bolivia. Are you saying Bolivia is a village of Peru?

    i would like you to study a little more about the culture of the Incas.

    Hi,

    I’m not sure where you got your information about the Inca Empire extending into southern Panama. All of the evidence gathered thus far supports the Inca Empire extending into southern Colombia. If you have new information, please feel free to post it.

    I’m also not sure what you are referring to when you write “machu picchi.” Are you referring to Machu Picchu? If so, that is in Peru.

    Regarding the post about climate change affecting mountain villages in Peru, the article IS about climate change in Peru. You obviously looked at the picture and didn’t read the article. However, as I mention in the note preceding the article, unfortunately climate change is melting the glaciers along the entire chain of the Andes Mountains in addition to elsewhere in the world. We’re all being affected–Peruvians, Bolivians, and the rest of the world.

    Finally, as to why I don’t have a category of “Bolivia” yet on my blog, the categories gradually increase and appear as I continue posting.

    Personally, I am a great fan of Bolivia, have traveled there, and will be posting on it in the future. I’ll be traveling through Bolivia later this year.
