Not Much In The Way Of Ruins In Ecuador, But...

It seems that the best museums are attached to banks. We went in search of one of these banks that was to have ruins in the back as well. We stumbled upon another ruin on the way. It had a museum with about 4 things in it too. It was amazing!


This was after we saw the big museum. It was huge but we couldn{t use our camera. One of it{s exibits was on indiginous history and culture and it even had shrunken heads on display! They can{t shrink them anymore without facing jail time, but for a while there was quite a thriving black market for the heads.
This was the sight of the biggest Ican ruins in Ecuador and at first it didn{t seem all that cool...


But then we discovered the second level. They actually grow all the crops that the Ican{s would have, which made it kinda neat. Above Gillian is a seceret Incan tunnel but we couldn{t go inside.



On the same spot, there was this cool cool-bird exibit. Some of the pictures didn{t turn out.Then there were these llamas too!
