Socoroma is a village in the Arica and Parinacota Region, Chile.
It is an old Aymara settlement into which significant investment has been made to try to stop it from becoming a complete ghost town.
The traditional houses are now mostly covered with corrugated iron instead of grass and leather.
The church on the other hand was renovated in 2012 and the roof was constructed with the mentioned wood structure tightened by leather.
