Summary
In the rural areas of Quebrada de Humahuaca, walking emerges as a foundational practice that fosters unique forms of sociability. This study reveals that pedestrian mobility in the region is not merely a means of transportation but a catalyst for social interactions, shaped by shared corporeal experiences and intersubjective relationships. The research employs an existential phenomenological approach to explore how movement and bodily techniques influence these interactions, highlighting norms and values that govern both walking and social life. The findings underscore the importance of spatial context in defining sociability, offering insights into the cultural significance of mobility in the Andes meridionales.
