The young hunters of the Andes

Since his origen, man has dedicated himself to obtaining his food through the capture of other species. For centuries, that rush of adrenalin generated by one-to-one combat, full of cunning, has excited people of many different cultures. 
 
In time, technology ruptured the balance of the fight and, with very few exceptions, it was no longer necessary to obtain food that way. However, those primitive emotions survived the barriers of time and the fight, transformed into a sport, still retained a place in the upper classes of certain societies.   
 
In the central region of Chile, at barely 80 kilometres from Santiago, this family from the capital city transmits its passion to the young hunters who will go out in search of rabbits and hares, abundant in the region.
 
Dressed in camouflage and gritting their teeth, these young adventurers breathe unevenly in the rugged geography of the mountain range of the Andes, at an altitude of more than 2,700 metres while they enjoy this strange way of infantile entertainment.
