    5.“Catch me If you can” - Karrawa –a 5-years-old wayúu girl- and her siblings were playing hide-and-seek around their house. The girl invites the spectators to get in a new and unknown place full of imagination, wonders and fun. by: dortiz Views[210] 4.“Like toy soldiers” - I had the chance to interact with the wayúu people and I could know the way that they live. With this wooden stick Jimaai plays the character of a soldier, while I was intending to be one of his enemies. by: dortiz Views[425] 3.“It’s laundry time” - Once I arrived to the wayúu settlement I could see the indians doing their daily tasks. Shankarit -a wayúu boy- moves a plastic bucket to help his mother to do the laundry. by: dortiz Views[329] 2.“Curious eyes” - With a curious gaze, Iiwa-Kashi (wayúu name that means “Spring-Moon”) observes suspiciously the group of young strangers getting closer to her ranchería. by: dortiz Views[526] 1. “Beyond the unexplored” - Beside a group of young people from all over the world, I break through a caribbean-colombian coastal lagoon looking for a ranchería, the settlement of the wayúu people. The wayúu is the largest ethnic group of the La Guajira Peninsula in northern Colombia and northwest Venezuela. by: dortiz Views[499]
