Bolivia Coca Harvesting Picking Terraces
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, captured by photographers David Lomax and Robert Harding, we are transported to the lush landscapes of South Yungus in Bolivia, South America. The image showcases a group of hardworking individuals engaged in the age-old practice of harvesting coca leaves. The vibrant colors and horizontal composition draw our attention to the meticulous terraces that adorn the mountainside, creating an awe-inspiring backdrop for this laborious task. As we observe these dedicated workers meticulously picking each leaf with care and precision, we gain insight into their deep connection with nature and their reliance on agriculture for sustenance. This photograph not only highlights the physical demands of agricultural work but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Bolivia's indigenous communities. It serves as a reminder that travel is not just about visiting popular tourist destinations but also about immersing oneself in local customs and traditions. Through Lomax and Harding's lens, we are invited to appreciate both the beauty of South Yungus' natural surroundings and the resilience of its people who have mastered sustainable farming techniques over generations. This powerful image encapsulates a harmonious blend between humans and nature while shedding light on an essential aspect of Bolivian life – one that continues to shape its identity today.
