A Changing Culture

Though the trail we are hiking is full of mule trains (one of my favorite sights!!), the small villages of Collpapampa and Chaullay, with 10 and 4 families respectively, have set up campgrounds and basic facilities to serve the ever increasing number of tourists.

Now they merge agriculture, mule-driving, and tourism pursuits, yet easy to assume that tourism-related pursuits will be more profitable and easier.

Les, our Guide, says that two additional houses have been built in Chaullay since her trip 3 weeks ago.
