Baños is a resort town in the Yungas region, mainly catering for local tourists who come to bathe in the hot pools and buy trinkets. Like many places in South America, the markets had long rows of stalls selling exactly the same products, which in the case of Baños was candy made of sugar cane and sugar cane juice. In the market we tried Cuye (Guinea Pig), which is a popular dish in Ecuador and neighbouring countries. The waitress laughed when Maureen asked for a fork, as it is almost impossible to stick one into a Cuye as they have the consistency of a rubber tyre.
