Brightly adorned with woven motifs of animals, birds, flowers and anything of significance on their shawls, skirts, hat bands, etc., Quechua families head down from their villages higher up in the mountains into town during market day or whenever they come for supplies. The flowers on the women's hats indicate that they are not married and they are also hiding places for their money. Nowadays, Quechuans are very enterprising in charging tourists like us a sole per person for any photo taken!
