Caballito de Totora

 

Incrusted in the sand erect crafts rest of totora. Per centuries this one was the symbol, the demonstration, the palpable evidence of the respect of the population of the Peruvian coast for the subtle threads that weave the ecological balance. Bordering on the beach, in the distance a green almost imperceptible line. Of there there continues being extracted the material used during three to five milleniums [1] for the production of the rustic ships. They are the totorales, the wetlands, the marshy grounds. In the former language of the zone there are called they "wachakes", word that can be translated as " water eye " and that they say gives his name to this magic place: Huanchaco, one of the last redoubts of the caballitos of totora.
