1961
LAKE TITICACA BOLIVIA at an altitude of 3,812 metres (12,507 feet) in the
Andes mountains. An Aymara fiesta on the north shore of the Strait of Tiquina
near the village of San Pablo. The scene is a typical festival of the time when
the women sit gathered in a circle with their children and talk, while the men
in the foreground spend the afternoon drinking and playing music. The man in bottom
left is carrying a moseño, a long bamboo flute. In the middle
distance is a typical community of thatched adobe houses surrounded by fields
of barley and other crops. Camera:
