“Visiting Sabino”

Elistan doesn’t lead groups on the Lares Trek very often but when he does he likes to stop and introduce his visitors to Sabino and Katerina. Thin Incan couple are happy in their small home. They speak only Quechua, the traditional Incan language, and spend their days caring for their land and animals using traditional methods. As Elistan translated and showed us a large tapestry that the couple had handmade I caught Sabino modestly smiling at his handiwork.
