OJO: brujas y chismosos son prohibidos

"LOOK: Entry is forbidden to this house for - thieves, gossips, witches and envious types.
DANGER: if you want to die ... just try it."

A doorway on the road back from Huancas. Peruvians believe quite strongly in the existence and widespread presence of brujas, so it's not quite (about 1mm less) as crazy as it sounds.

Well, from my limited Spanish, "ladrones" is thief and "si quieres morir intenta" is something like "wanting death try"

So, thieves not allowed in the house unless you want to die.

What goes on behind that door I wonder?

Hiya! You got there before I could tag anything. Translation given above in the photo summary. You're pretty close, but you missed the witches and gossips.

I'm sorry if I maligned anyone. I live in the north, and on the coast and in the sierra, I've never ever met anyone who didn't believe. It's probably different in Lima, though, I expect.
