The Andes - Chejepampa's market
Chejepampa. Until the sunrise the concern that displaced all the rest to the insignificance was the tremendous cold that filtered emotions and shades. With the first light the frozen images fade, colors and activity of the fair bursts in. The native gold salesmen assuring its purity, horses, leather, food. The smuggling that beats as the heart of the event, the mists over the enormous pots, which surround everything with an aroma of the succulent broth, the routine presence of the military that welcome us at the peruvian side, the cars that load the merchandise to set out the return journey. We travel towards the Lake Titicaca to go back to Bolivia through Copacabana.

The Chejepampa's market is, mainly, a meeting. Here the women from Charazani with their splendid hats.
