In this part of her life far from her hometown, Emma Reyes tells quite meticulously about the daily rural life of the Cundiboyacense highlands; her the celebrations and popular religious festivals that she was able to witness, the relationships between the wealthiest families with the popular classes of the municipalities and the difficulties that she had to go through when traveling the bridle paths, the wooded landscapes and the natural geography of the region. Likewise, and while still a child of only five years old, she lived and shared with the peasants and indigenous people of the highlands, characters who would later be the main actors in her paintings.
