Our guide was super friendly. Tour is relaxed; a chance to see how people live outside of the city. Carolina’s weaving workshop is first rate and very interesting. Lovely weaving to purchase. Not a big museum but gives you enough of an idea. Otherwise, some walking which we enjoyed. Carolina , our guide answered all of our questions very well and with good humour. Fun day. Thanks!

It was nice to hear some of the history. Bring extra money if you want to purchase textiles.
