Home in Quico Chico in Nacion Q''eros Peru. This is where we stay with the entire family who sleeps on the bed seen here. 4 people cram into the small bed in the freezing cold every night. Additionally they cook potatoes from the small kitchen and have no venting , so the charred and black smoke infiltrates your lungs. The stone walls have no mortar and the frigid winds easily fills the small room. The door is maybe 3 feet, and you have to be careful to not bump your head everytime you step out. No running water. No electricity. This is life. This is perspective.
Just a few hours old, this burro is figuring out how to stand up with the comfort of mom in Misminay, Peru.
The agrarian community of Chonta nestled in between some amazing mountain ranges. This area is becoming more and more known by outsiders due to the Condors that make their home in the nearby Apurimac canyon seen in the background.
