Photograph of Highland Folks from the
Pitumarca District decked out in their Sunday best on Market
Day in Pitumarca. Their dress and apparel is of distinction.
The men wear short waist-long Ponchos (refer to portrait of
Inca couple - image # 3 of this gallery), dark blue bayeta
overpants on top of white homespun innerpants. Felt slouch
hats with warp weave hatbands on top of knitted wool hats
(Chuyo). Ladies wear same dress as in portrait # 17 of this
gallery. Chicha (fermented maize beer) is drank from 20th
century plastic plant watering pitchers. Australian
Eucalyptus trees imported in the 1880's dot the hillsides.
