Here are some of the places we went on our trip:

• Imbabura - The region in which Cotacachi and the surrounding villages lie, between the volcanoes Cotacachi (the mother) and Imbabura (the father).
• Chilcapamba - The indigenous village where we ate lunch, listened to music, and walked around the organic garden. Chilcapamba means land of the Chilca plant.
• Peguche - The village of the weavers, where we watched a weaving demonstration and learned the difference between acrylic fiber and real alpaca wool.
• Ilumán - Where we met the Yachaks and had our group cleansing.
• La Mirage - Five-star hotel and spa where we had our treatments and our last dinner in Cotacachi.
• San Antonio de Ibarra - Where we met the Fuentes Brothers, and explored the woodworking in their shop.
