The small rarely visited town of Canar, outside of Ingapirca, is home to the original indigenous people of the region. Hats are important to the people of the highlands. The color and shape represents your village.
Below is a photo of a people gathered to buy natural herbal medicines on the street.
Another is of a mother and daughter. Notice the Pom-Poms on the hats? When the Pom Pom is in front that means she is married. If in the back, she is still single. A nice concept, but sounds too easy to just flip the pom-pom around...but then again the marriage rings are easy to remove....
