Vitis District : ウィキペディア英語版 | Vitis District
Vitis District is one of thirty-three districts of the Yauyos Province in Peru. It is located in the Nor Yauyos-Cochas Landscape Reserve.〔 Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática. ''(Banco de Información Distrital )''. Retrieved April 11, 2008.〕 Vitis has a small annex 42 kilometers from the center of town, named Chunuraran, which is inaccessible by road and is used by the townsfolk for their cows, llamas, and alpacas. Few people really live in Chunuraran throughout the entire calendar year. From Chunuraran as well as the path to the annex views of a small mini-chain of snow-covered mountains can be seen. As is the case with the rest of the Sierra mountains in Peru, much of the snow of these mountains has receded a significant amount in the past decades, and the last of the permanent snow-covered mountains in the Yauyos Province will have disappeared completely within the next few decades. == Origins== The origins of the people of the town of Vitis lie in its archaeological sites, Quchawasi ''(Cochashuasi, Cochaswasi)'' and ''Huallugina'' (or ''Huayllugina''). With claims to existence before the times of the Incan Empire, Quchawasi and ''Huallugina'' (or ''Huayllugina'') are about an hour's walk from the town of Vitis and are composed of fallen houses as well as the remains of an old irrigation system. From Quchawasi (Quechua ''qucha'' lake, ''wasi'' house, "lake house") one has a view of two rivers, the Cañete River and Puente River, as well as of the lake Pikiqucha down below. The people of Vitis call Quchawasi "Mini Machu Picchu" because it is on top of a flat part of the mountain and two rivers can be seen from it, as is the case with Machu Picchu. Higher up the mountain is ''Huallugina'' (or ''Huayllugina''). From both sites views of dozens of mountain tops, sometimes snow-covered, can be seen.
