Strap on your seatbelts for a crazy bus ride over cobblestones and around hairpin turns on the Quilotoa Loop high in the Andes. Oh yeah, that's right, there are no seatbelts. And as always, when in doubt, honk the horn.....
I could have bought a llama for $180, a very large pig for $150 and a small pig for $60 - prices variable depending on how serious (or stupid) the sellers thought I was, and before any haggleing
The Quilotoa Crater - over 14,ooo ft (gasp, pant) From here I hiked for 5 hours DOWN to my little guest house in Chugchilan
Saturday market in Zumbahua
and here's a walkthrough.....
Everyone wears thier Sunday best, including velvet skirts, stockings, sturdy high heels, and colorful ponchos to drag their pigs and sheep to market. Style points!
a funeral headed to the cemetery
a family plot - 3 down, 3 to go.......
sorry camels, but llamas are my new favorite beasts of burden
ever wonder how they get the sheep on the bus? (I know that was the burning question on everyone's mind) Why, they just hoist them up with a rope of course.....check out this short 14 second video
