Athens

The Gauchos of Coronel Arias

We spent a great day today with the gauchos of Coronel Arias. Their unforgettable “asado de llama” will be remembered for a long, long time… @marcovernaschi

Twisted Ride

Feathers

Marcelo

…And finally came Marcelo, a solitary la herder who faces strong winds and burning sun, to take care of our new, curious friends. Marcelo played his horn and drum during the ritual of “la señalada”, which consists in adorning the animals with some wool to protect them from diseases. Photo by Marco Vernaschi @marcovernaschi

Abra Pampa

Another day working in Abra Pampa, in the heart of the Puna Jujeña, with some curious friends…. BIOPHILIA is developing some interesting projects with the Warmi Community. More soon! Photo Marco Vernaschi @marcovernaschi

White Light

White light and a windy spirit made the magic around this gaucho girl, at la Peña Blanca. BIOPHILIA is working on a development project with the Gaucho community of Coronel Arias, one of the oldest of Argentina that originally formed as a rebel guerrilla during the independence war (1810-16).
