Houses reflecting in the water after a storm in the village of Santa Ana de Chipaya in Bolivia.
The Uru-Chipaya people are an ethnic group of about 2,500 people, descendants of primitive Andean cultures. Their isolation (they live at an altitude of 4,000 metres in southern Bolivia), their non-written language (Chipaya-Puquina) and their traditional way of life, clothing and customs, which are similar to those used for thousands of years, make this an unusual village d’Indiens de Santa Ana de Chipaya, compose? de huttes de terre, de?nomme?es khuyas ou putschs surgissent du de?sert, juste au nord du Salar de Coi?pasa. Certains spe?cialistes estiment que les Chipayas sont les premiers habitants de l’Altiplano et probablement les premiers descendants de la civilisation disparue de Tiahuanaco
