Caballitos de totora


Thursday 10 April 2008
Finally - back at sea level!! It feels so nice to walk up stairs, pick up my backpack, wash my hair, and not get out of breath! Ryan and I are now on the north coast of Peru, in a small town called Huanchaco. These are the caballitos de totora, or little reed horses, which are the traditional boat from the region. Fishermen ride on them with one leg on each side (hence the name), and handle them with great skill in the surf.
