#photo#Bolivia These are two guises of Estanislao Laime from Bolivia. Don Laime is a farmer who owns dozens of llamas. He is also a shaman, known as a Yatiri. Locals come to Estanislao for advice on making money or getting healthy. But as a Yatiri, Estanislao has more responsibilities, including bringing the rain. Water is of great value in this arid region, home to the world largest salt flat. Everyone at the Salar de Uyuni looks forward to the rainy season at the end of December and lasts till March. Yatiris ask local spirits to bring the rain. The ceremony that Estanislao performed worked - the rain started in the Salar de Uyuni the day after the RT Documentary crew filmed the Yatiri.
