Latin American adventures with baby
Photographers Ana Paula Paiva and Fernando Martinho backpacked around Latin America with their baby son Joao for almost a year.
Pictures from their trip are part of PHotoEspana 2008, which opened in Madrid on Tuesday.
Joao celebrated his first birthday in Bolivia, started to walk in Colombia and took his first steps unaided on the streets of Buenos Aires.
“We hope that when he's 15 he can do this journey again and something of the memory will remain,” said Ana.
“It was very easy to travel with a baby. He was hardly ever sick and I think it's important parents realise that they don't need to stop their lives just because they've had a child.
"We did find it hard to leave our life at home but it turned out to be the best thing we've ever done.”
The exhibition, which this year has the theme Place, runs until July 27 (www.phedigital.com/festival).

well done and very lucky child!

I think it was selfish of the couple to take a small baby with them. if the child had got one of the many bugs that were going around the regions they travelled in they would be thinking differently believe me !!
They were just very lucky that their child did not get ill.

well done to the parents. i am a father and i know how challenging that must have been for them. what an incredible adventure! awesome!

Does Paul M really think we don't have babies in Perù? Babies survive and even thrive all across South America, particularly when their parents are wealthy faux-hippy tourists.
The photos remind me of backpackers who cart their teddy around half the world for a photo in each city, however.

Perhaps the article should have included details of infant mortality rates in the Peruvian Andes.
"He was hardly ever sick" would have been wails of anguish if the child had gotten e.coli or half a hundred other diseases.
I saw estoteric tourists lugging their offspring around Peru - not impressed.
