RAINYSEASON on Lake Titicaca

RAINYSEASON IS COMMING NEXT IN THE ANDEAN WORLD

In October it has rained a little, folks were so glad to see the first precipitations, but it just for some days in the mid of month.Now it´s November all families are planting potatoes, quinoa, barley, maize and so through the Andes with the hope this year 2017 the rains will be better than last time.
Here in Puno region more that 60% of people are farmers. At 12500 feet high surrounding the Sacred Lake Titicaca we grow not just Andean tubers and quinoa but many vegetables as carrots, lettuce and cauliflower in the basins of the lake.

There is a microclimate that maintains the cultivations humid. The tempters fluctuate between 40 and 65 Fahrenheit in summer time from November till April.
Thousands of families in the Andean communities from Colombia, Ecuador, and here in Peru are farmers also.
Many Aymara communities in the southern Andes including Bolivia, some areas of Chile and Argentina depend on agriculture.
We just depend in the forces of the nature -Pachamama- from Ancients times. Much of products are organic.

 Small communities being self-sufficient based on agriculture even when the global climate change´s beating millions of peasants not much in the Andean zone but several areas of the world.
