Saraguro Market.


We love visiting local markets, so when we heard that the little hill town of Saraguro had an especially large and interesting one, we got on a local bus and made the 0ne-and-a-half-hour journey without hesitation.

It was a lovely trip through green, rolling hills.




The market was large and bustling. The produce was incredible.


There was a wide variety of delicious-looking foods.



 Most the customers were dressed in their traditional clothing.



Short pants for the men.


Even some people without shoes.


 But of course everyone had a cell phone.


We were especially taken by this mobile ice cream parlor.


In all, it was an interesting glimpse into the daily lives of traditional Ecuadoreans.
