Full of bright beautiful handcrafts like textiles
Alpaca scarves
Carved chess sets pitting the Indians against the Spanish
All kinds of street food carts featuring things like fried potato cakes they call Llapingachos
And churros stuffed with chocolate and dulce de leche
And then a rainbow through the bus window on the ride home
Gypsy Queen 
Great pics! Looks like you are having a blast!
Hey I was researching Otavalo market today. Starting a vacation in Puerto Cayo this weekend. Can’t wait to see the market. Any advice or tips for a gringo?
So on that chess set- guess if you pick the Incas, you automatically lose? Maybe if the game lasts long enough, the Spanish lose too. Hmm…..
it just adds to the mental drama already inherent in chess :)
