Departed Lamay for Huacahuasi, in the Lares valley.
Our first stop
was in Calcas, whose plaza prominently features a bust of… a
geometrician!
Dr. Eusebio Corazao Quintanilla
has no Wikipedia entry, alas, but he is remembered in his hometown and
now in Los Alamos. How many small Andean towns have a mathematician
for a hero? How many towns
anywhere? This was a delightful and
memorable surprise.
