Bolivia

Farm (>4200m) in Sajama National Park. Aymara families in this area have been making a living from llama and alpaca herding for many centuries. The mountain in the background is Cerro Quisi Quisini (5536m) on the border with Chile.

Take a wire and fix any old rags to it. To create a gate take two posts and a bicycle tyre. To be seen in varations all over the Bolivian Altiplano:-) HFF everybody! The photo was taken near Nogachi village at ca. 4000m. Along the mountains in the background is the border to Chile.

Progress has only recently arrived in Julo village. Inset a detail of the the town hall (which boasts of a public telephone) and a village street. The map erronously places Julo in Chile and gives a wrong name for the village, in fact it is in Oruro department in Bolivia. HFF!
