Saturday Market

Zumbahua (zoom-bah-wah) has a wonderfully authentic Saturday market at which indigenous vendors from the mountains sell their wares. Check out the men on the south side of the market, who use old Singer sewing machines to tailor clothes, and the cuddly cuy (guinea pig) trade, which is fun to watch.
