At Occobamba, or the pampa where oca grows, we found fields of that useful tuber, just now ripening. |
While Argentina lives on the Pampa, the Pampa lives on export. |
The attraction of the Pampa was felt as far as the frontiers. |
It was towards evening, and we were journeying across the Pampa. |
But the towns of the Pampa which have grown most rapidly are the ports. |
A few guanaco and ostriches, a sprinkling of cavy, and many pampa foxes seemed to eke out an existence there. |
