apthapi // picnic

Upon our arrival on Isla del Sol. the community greeted us with an apthapi, an Aymara custom. Each family brings one or two foods to share, and everyone gathers to enjoy the potluck-style meal. Traditional foods include fresh fish, cheese, salsa, potatoes, chuño (another kind of tuber), and choclo (large-grained corn).
