Ecuador - Latacunga

We stayed in Latacunga for three nights using this place as a home base to take day trips. We went to crater lake, Banos, and a local market.

A wonderful meal in Quito before leaving for Latacunga about two and a half hours south.


By afternoon we are at crater lake located above 9000 feet and it is cold.


A local child.


This man is making local taffy.


This man is just about to jump from a bridge. After he jumps he will swing like a pendulum over the rushing river below.


Big pots of market food.


Anyone for a pig head?


Too cute.


Knitting with the sheep.


Guinea pigs for sale. The next day I tried one. They are part of the diet in this region.


Mandarins and bananas are every where.


On the last day the volcano showed itself.
