1967
LAKE TITICACA BOLIVIA Quechua women and their children on the Island of Amantani
in the northern part of the lake. Unusually the population of Amantani is Quechua
the original tribe, although the land surrounding the lake is the territory of
the Aymara. I
went to the island in 1967 with the Peruvian Navy on one of the regular visits
for a government health programme. The gathering was unusual and I felt fortunate
to see so many women in their traditional clothes in one place. Camera:
