Cholita

The cholitas are a strong symbol of Bolivia. The iconic bowler hat,the long black braids, the adjusted corset and the brightly colored puffed skirt: their out t is well known all around the world. Discriminated against for a long time, they are now very much a driving force in Bolivia. They are in scenes that were unimaginable 100 years ago, nowadays they have real clout in the economic, political and even fashion worlds of Bolivia. The cholitas have managed to earn their place in modern society without denying their collective past. They are an expression of the dignity of indian populations. They are a symbol of Bolivian womanhood.

In 2014, a group of 11 cholitas decided to climb the Huayna Potosi. They are so brave.
