Paul and Dutch's Ecuador Adventure with Ecuadorian Music Part Four [14:53]
We hired Luis, a local grocery store owner as a guide to show us several local Indian Villages and how they live and work. We saw several artisans practice their craft and several craftsmen create their stores. If you are ever in Cotacachi, look Louis up and ask him to take you on a guided tour of the area. He gets five stars out of five.. Ecuador is truly worth a visit..
