Peguche

We are in Peguche,  a weaving town outside of Otavalo, a main market town in the Andes Northern Highlands. We are right near Las Cascadas Peguche, a waterfall that is the local center of carnival,  today. The people are indigenous Incan. We bused to Cotacachi,  a town known for its leather and went to Cuicochi,  a sunken crater lake with islands formed from later eruptions. It rains as much as not,  sometimes heavy. Wait it out in the covered market food stalls,  or the Pie Shop back in otavalo. Yesterday Passion fruit meringue,  today morro (blackberry), cafes con leches.  A full rainbow reward over the market. 
Tonight Quito.
