give testimony for the wisdom of the Ampej. Here is no magic nor sorcery but pure and simple
Ancient Wisdom that dinasties of Diaguitas Ampejs have conserved and transmited from father
to sons. Today the sons of Ampej Palacios are graduate Medics at the University of Salta and
specialized in: Traumatology! Following thus the familiar tradition and practicing with success
