Yavari — Blog — ANNA FAWCUS

I've spent the last couple of weeks living onboard the Yavari, a 150 year old British gunship, on Lake Titicaca, in Puno, Peru. I've been staying on the boat as a guest of the Peruvian Times, whilst shooting part of a cookbook in the local area, which will be a fundraising project to help with the future plans for the Yavari. Here's a few photos of the Yavari from the past couple of weeks:

For more information on the Yavari project, B&B, or history of the boat, have a look at their website.

I've recently been doing a few small assignments for the Peruvian Times, whilst I've been in Peru. I've visited with a couple of small non-profit organizations, one in Lima, and one in Sacred Valley, Cusco. I've also been working in the region around Puno on a collection of photographs for an upcoming cooking book for the Peruvian Times, which will be used to raise funding for the Yavari Project. The cooking book is from a slightly different angle, showing the farmers, factories, growers and markets, as well as the final meals on plates, so it has been a great few weeks traveling through the countryside, through coffee factories, quinoa plants, local markets, a trout fishing farm, as well as some of Puno's finest restaurants, and hidden gems. I look forward to sharing more when the book is released, but in the meantime, here are a few photos:
