KANIWA
Over the high Andean plateau where few crops develop between snowfalls and droughts, the cañihua grows in all its glory, painting the pampas of the highland like an impressionism fresco, with warm colors like scarlet, lilac, emerald, and indigo which contrast with the frozen spell of the puna weather.
