EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the stunning coast of Huanchaco in northern Peru. The golden sun sets on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the picturesque fishing village. Amidst this breathtaking sight, a skilled fisherman patiently waits atop his reed boat known as a caballito de totora. The caballitos de totora, or little horses of reeds, have been an age-old tradition for these coastal communities. Crafted from straw-like materials and propelled by a bamboo paddle, these unique boats serve as both transportation and tools for fishing. As we observe the scene unfold before us, it becomes clear that riding waves to shore is not just a means of transport but also an art form mastered by these fishermen. With expertise and precision, they navigate through the surf towards their destination. This coastal landscape serves as an irresistible attraction for visitors seeking to immerse themselves in Peruvian culture. The jetty stretches out into the Pacific Ocean while colorful rafts dotting the beach add charm to this scenic vista. Andrew Watson's lens captures not only the beauty of nature but also showcases the rich traditions embedded within Peruvian society. This print invites us to appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship of these fishermen and their deep connection with their surroundings - making it truly representative of South American heritage at its finest.
