Brave Atula finishes her program


As we headed down the mountain Atula conquers the Ox carrying the cart. The beautiful specimens turned out to be twin bulls and the Ox Cart Campesino let her try it out.

The Ox cart hearding with the "punzon" (sharp stick) is a lost art. Ox cart were used to transport goods like coffee. The Ox cart hearding how-to was transferred orally from one generation to the next by farmers.This art was pronounced Intangible World Heritage by Unesco in 2006.
