WOMEN CO OP LAKE TITICACA

Puno on the border of Peru and Bolivia: I´m in Chuquito, about 30 minutes from Puno and on the lake side. It´s a very small and old town, very little life but peaceful. I’m staying at `Posada Santa Barbara’, very nice and lots of hard scape with natural stone. Santiago and Patricia, nice people that spend half the year in Chuquito and the other half in Italy. He is from this town, and have strong Andean roots. Interesting conversation to see if we can partner and work together.
We arrived tuesday at 6am, good trip with very big and confortable reclining bed sits. Play in Puno for half a day and came to chucuito. Today we talked to a co op of women artesans that Santiago promoted and buys alpaca wool an ponchos to export. Very engaging conversation with them. Will meet them at 4pm to see their products.
