Esta anciana vende muchas de las hierbas empleadas en medicina tradicional peruana. Es muy anciana, sorda de un oído y habla más quechua que español, pero siempre está allí, vendiendo.

This old woman sells most of the herbs for Peruvian traditional medicine. She is very very old, deaf of one ear, and speaks more Quechua than Spanish, but she's always there, selling her herbs.
