Ráquira: Loaded village donkey and Bogotá horses
The mix of old fashinoned means of transportation and the modern variety of cars and aircrafts is striking in Colombia.
This one photo is from Ráquira, a very rural place. I’d guess that the young lady bought some potatoes at the Sunday market and is now on her way home with the cargo, loaded upon the donkey.
But even in Bogota’s better-off northern parts, you see the occasional horse carriage. In fact, I hear the horses walking by the house where I stay almost every day. In Bogota, horse-based transportation is being used for trash, moving and more.
But just as horses are getting out of fashion in Poland, the same thing is happening here - at least in Bogota and the other big cities.
