PHotoEspaña

There is still time to visit this impressive Photo Festival.

PHotoEspaña is a major international festival of photography and visual arts featuring exhibitions, debates and masterclasses. Budding photographers from far and wide enter the competition Descubrimientos PHE ('Discoveries'), with the hope of their photographic talents being spotted.

In 2009 there are three strands: one in Madrid that is open to applicants from all backgrounds, and one in both Lima and Mexico DF, which are for Latin America residents only.

The top entries are exhibited at PHotoEspaña 2009 and the best candidate overall wins the Descubrimientos PHE Epson Award and a solo exhibition slot at PHotoEspaña 2010.

Aside from the competitive aspect of the festival, there is also a section devoted to great masters of photography and another called Invited Projects, with spaces dedicated to awards and special collections.

CHE LAGARTO LIMA (http://www.chelagarto.com/) offers promotional rates for all passengers booking their stay through the website, with prices starting at US$10.

Keep Dreaming. Keep Traveling.
