I don't even know where to begin :) First of all I'm happy I could see such a wonderful and unique place thanks to you! It's amazing how small communities can be so united. That shows how they left the place clean after a fiesta like that. It's also lovely to see those newly built houses, totally different from the local environment.

Visiting the whole country was an unique experience. Usually indigenous community do not see much help from the local authorities and they have to rely on each other. That road was done without a having a dollar spent by the authorities. They have collected the rocks and by rotation all the men worked on it.
Unbelievable? Knowing this comes the question, what do authorities exactly do? What's their role? Anyway, it must be nice to be part of a community like that.
Like most of the indigenous communities in South America, these people are very poor and they can only rely on each other. The authorities usually allow corporations to steal their lands.
That's really sad! I hope things are going to change soon.
