A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of taking a trip to a tourist town about 45 minutes away from where I live. What's special about this place is that all the houses have a preserved colonial facade.

That day, I took a lot of photos, but in this post, I want to focus on the street photos I captured there. In most of these photos, people are the main subjects, which gives them a greater visual weight.

This was the first photo I took. I liked it because of the guys' outfits in the shot:

Further on, I saw a small, very humble shop where they sell natural honey. I tried to make the photo as symmetrical as possible:

I saw an elderly man selling fried food and took a photo of him from a distance:

Then I approached him and asked if I could take a photo. This was the result:

At that very moment, I saw a sport motorcycle pass by:

And a little while later, I found the same motorcycle already parked:

I also saw this very cool car:

The next man was selling sugar balloons:

This man is always in the same spot, making bubbles to sell toys to children:

As I walked through the town, I saw this man playing guitar to earn some tips:

I saw this girl with a very cool outfit:

Every small town has a central plaza, and there I was able to take this photo of an adorable little dog:

I took this photo because the woman had been sitting there alone for a while. She seemed to be waiting for her family, but the whole time I observed her, she was by herself:

This boy saw me with the camera and greeted me, as if asking for a photo:

A photo of a dome:

And I saved my favorite photos for last. As I was walking, I saw a traditional candy shop, and the employees were wearing clothing characteristic of the Andean people. I asked them if I could take a photo, and I captured this:

I took all the photos with my Canon R8 camera and a 24-105mm f/4 lens.

I hope you liked these photos as much as I did!

Really love how you captured the flow of life there—simple moments, yet full of personality. The honey stall, the balloon seller, even the motorcycle passing by—all small stories in one frame. It feels genuine and alive. Thanks for sharing!
