The Shepherd of Humahuaca

Tourist Information 'office' Humahuaca, Argentina.This is Julio. From the age of seven he worked as a shepherd, but when his daughter was born he wanted to do better for himself, and for her.When she was a child they used to stand together at the roadside, and wave at the passing tourist coaches. 




















Often they encountered groups of tourists, and he was always interested to hear all the different languages that were spoken.

He came to Humahuaca and worked hard at various jobs to support his family.

He also went to evening classes and learnt to speak English.

He now runs the tourist information centre in Humahuaca.
