    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.

With this wooden stick Jimaai plays the character of a soldier, while I was intending to be one of his enemies. Views[428] 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.

Views[529] 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. Views[500]
