Carmelo Flores Laura


Carmelo Flores Laura, a native Aymara, stands near his home in the village of Frasquia, Bolivia, Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2013. If Bolivia’s public records are correct, Flores is the oldest living person ever documented. They say he turned 123 a month ago. To what does the cattle and sheepherder owe his longevity? “I walk a lot, that’s all. I go out with the animals,” he says. (AP Photo/Juan Karita)
