Vivid with cultural memory and mountain light, this multi-view postcard captures the spirit of Inca Peru in one breathtaking ensemble. From the high stone terraces of Machu Picchu to the baroque grandeur of Cusco’s Cathedral, each scene invites the viewer into the enduring dialogue between pre-Columbian civilisation and colonial transformation. Framing it all is the iconic peak of Huayna Picchu, towering like a sentinel over the valley below.

Printed by Producciones Wirus, this postcard combines photography and line-map illustration to honour Cusco’s central landmarks — Sacsayhuamán, Hanan Hurin, and the ceremonial heart of Huacaypata. The map back references sacred locations, including Catedral, Machu Picchu, and Huaynapicchu, making it not just a souvenir but a miniature guide to the region’s deep spiritual and architectural geography. The card bears a handwritten date: 28 October 2001.

More than a travel token, this postcard embodies a reverence for place, history, and identity. Whether you collect South American ephemera or seek pieces rooted in cultural heritage, this card is an invitation to preserve the story of a civilisation that continues to shape the soul of Peru.
