Worth mentioning:
The abandoned mining towns on the edge of the lakes....
The people planting potatoes in image 3, the dark brown tilled fields.
 And the llamas in image 7... minuscule in an inmense landscape.
 
A herd of llamas and a small settlement by the lake
That is the true colour of this lake, possibly due to the mineral content in the water

Gran Poder: the musicians
Inevitably it is necessary to give a historical perspective of this yearly festival that takes place in the city of La Paz, Bolivia. The celebration transforms and stimulates the social life of La Paz every year, emanating from a particular way of understanding and living Andean Catholicism. The Parade begins with a procession through the western part of the city. This procession is central to the event, involving 40,000 devotees who dance and sing in an offering to the patron saint. The dance has a sacred significance for the sixty-nine fraternities involved, which are greeted in the streets in a euphoric atmosphere where the music of 7,000 musicians resonates. It is so owe inspiring that it is rightfully a UNESCO Wold Heritage event (Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity). The image venerated with dance and music is believed to have arrived in the city at the founding of the convent of the Mothers of the Sacred Conception on the 8th of December 1663.

Angel’s Trumpet (Brugmansia arborea)
The flower of the Floripondio, Devil’s Trumpet or Angel’s Trumpet (Brugmansia arborea), has hallucinogenic properties like all plants of the Datura family. Its shapes and colors, its branches, along with the effects it produces on the mind and consciousness, are part of the cultural imaginaries we weave with the natural world. Since ancient times and across all civilizations, human beings have experienced an intuition of “totality,” sought through rituals considered sacred due to their extraordinary essence. Thus, each culture seeks answers to its ancestral concerns. Mystery, enigma and secret, shadow, hiddenness and silence are words that come to mind when we think of the Floripondio.
