Boy Chewing Coca Leaves
I saw this young lad aged about 16 years on my way to Machu Picchu high in the Andes. He was very colourful and selling traditions cloth and garments. In this high altitude area he chews Coca Leaves which alleviates altitude sickness and has also become customary as a habit.
