Santiago Quispe

Santiago Quispe has spent nearly every day on the ferry landing of a bustling Lake Titicaca town, waking before dawn to bring fresh trout and steaming salteñas to the throngs of locals and travelers passing through. The ferry schedules are as familiar to him as his family's faces; he times his cook cycles like clockwork, ensuring no commuter leaves hungry. Despite having explored every corner of Bolivia, the distant shores of other countries remain a mystery, leaving only the shimmering mirage of foreign roads in his mind's eye.
