Sitting in the square of the small town Cabanaconde, we waited for the start of our Colca Canyon trek. It was a quiet, hot day and we longed to get started so we could reach the much cooler bottom of the canyon.
Across the way a potato market was underway. Traditionally dressed women sold their potatoes and then loaded them into all manner of vehicles.
The woman on the right is carrying a baby in the red patterned bundle on her back. I have no idea how they tie the fabric so that the baby doesn’t fall!

Ah! Such a colorful shot. And the baby is tied in a similar manner to which I saw in the Himalayas in India!!! Beautiful. Have a happy week ahead:)

I’m just starting to get into our Cabanaconde and Colca Canyon photos and storytelling. We were in Cabanaconde for several days and yet somehow missed this potato market. Seriously, I spent 3 weeks in Peru and never felt like there was enough potato variety in my diet!
