While collaborating with the Andean Condor Conservation Program, photographer Hernán Pepe meets a wise Quechua elder: Tayta Ullpu. For more than 20 years, they traveled through South America and Australia, among mountains, rivers, seas, condors, and whales. They shared conversations, medicines, and ceremonies, and he received his new name: Pacha Jap'iq, the one who captures time and space. Upon turning 49, a turning point in his relationship with Tayta led him to rethink his life, seeking to return home and rediscover himself.
