Atop the Virgen of Concepción

All of you, get your minds out of the gutter.

The quiet town of Concepción is located somewhere between Huancayo and Jauja some 6 or so hours by bus east of Lima.  Adjacent to it is the hill and statue of the Virgin.  This 82 foot statue not only overlooks the city, valley, and country side (providing ridiculously spectacular views), but you can also climb to the top of the head.   Of course, plenty of documentation was taken.

Here’s an idea of what the Virgin looks like:
