I think one thing I adore most about Ecuador (besides the abundance of Alpacas and Llamas - my favorite animals) are the culturally rich people who live here. They hold true to their indigenous roots in the way they dress, eat, act, live, work, etc. The blankets and tapestries you buy here weren't shipped in from China. You can rest assured you're getting hand crafted materials that may have taken them as long as 4 or 5 days for them to complete. $20 for an artistic fabric tapestry doesn't sound so bad at that working rate, now, does it? And, not to mention, the colors here are so vibrant and captivating! | Ecuador
