It is the tribe of tribes, where women make braided skirts from palm trees and men go naked through the jungle, with a kind of nutshell, attached to the penis... and that's it. In West Papua, The Korowai represent the reward of the explorer who seeks cultural antipodes to complete the fabulous puzzle of the human race.. They build wooden and bamboo houses in the treetops, They hunt marsupials and eat beetle larvae. But everything eccentric and wild suddenly turns into friendly chat with interpreters through, in laughter and empathy. next to a fire, if there is an intention to meet, the world becomes much smaller.
Lhatse: a violinist in the trash
In travel, as in life, you can see the glass half full or half empty. Landscapes abominable redeemed by a look, idyllic sunsets besieged by mosquitoes, exciting adventures that end in a gazebo with poolside snack bar ... Is in our hands, almost always, select and reset other memories. Lhatse, poblachón a Tibetan, greets us with heaps of rubbish. But, from that huge amount of filth, comes an unforgettable violinist. By Ricardo COARASA.
