We stopped at a weaving studio. This was a western organization that was formed to help native weavers sell their products. Weavers from local villages would come here for 2 weeks at a time and spend their time weaving in the front yard. The organization had a very nice studio where the pieces were sold. The women were supposed to receive at least 50% of the price of each piece sold. However, it looked like a good portion of that went to pay the organization for food and lodging while they were there so they got more like 10% in cash. This little girl is spinning alpaca into yarn.
