More market, fruit and veg amazing here, this is the weekly Sunday market that serves the surrounding 'villages' that have nothing. the locals travel once a week to here to buy and sell their produce and get all they need for the next week.
This straw like house is the one bedroom house where all the family live, 4 children and about 3 or 4 adults including the guinea pigs that they breed for food. its just one room and the house lasts about 6 years then they have to rebuild it form the local grasses which takes about 4 days.
Buggies and prams are not to be found anywhere in Peru or Equador and all women and children as you can see from this pic carry the young around on their backs using giant scarfs. the children here all have a very mature look about them. I suppose they are put to work quite young and help raise their siblings. They dont have hte innocence about them that you see in children of this age at home.
