Dusk

As the day progresses, the hands become entirely dedicated to doing nothing but picking the red cherries of the coffee shrubs. In spite of the intense heat, every individual has given up all of their energy to fill up every bag of fruit to its maximum. Walking in the distance, along the hills, are large groups of farmers. Tied to this man’s head is a strap supporting at least sixty kilos of coffee cherries on his back. The men and some women walk slowly and steadily back up the slope nothing must disrupt their paths, they are so concentrated on their exertion. The moment they release the burden, which is then weighed, they return down the slopes in search of another bag to fill up with the coffee cherries. The sun begins to set during the last trip of the day, and in turn, the men also settle. The families return to their shacks built by Ariel Palacios and his two sisters, who have inherited not only the plantation but a love for coffee and those who cultivate it.
