On the way to Quilotoa Lagoon we stopped at this museum shop. There is a huge selection of colorful paintings and frames and the famous wooden animal masks made by the famous artist Julio Toaquiza Tigasi. Excellent quality. Behind the shop there is a beautiful view of the mountains that are also painted in his paintings.
Of course we left with some purchases
On News Mongabay there is an interesting interview from 2019 with the artist "The man who made Ecuadors wooden Tigua masks famous"
