The perception of water awakens sensations that go beyond the reckoning that it is a vital element for life, that it gives us important food resources, or that we can navigate across it. Its indomitable beauty as part of the landscape evokes spaces filled with mystery, deepness and fertility, which in turn recall an ancestral dimension and special images. This book describes the different relationships the societies of the coastal, Andean and Amazonian regions of Peru have had with the water bodies of their respective areas, and how they have interpreted the super-natural character that derives from the movement of the waters and the beings that populate rivers, lakes and the ocean.
