Dia del Kallawaya

The traditional healers of the Charazani region who have practiced medicine for over a thousand years. Recognized by UNESCO, the Kallawaya walk through the mountains collecting herbs that modern science cannot identify. They treat what hospitals cannot and every rural Bolivian has a Kallawaya story.
