The Salasaca people live in the center of the Andes in Ecuador. They work principally in agriculture and indigenous art, which they begin learning at a very young age. One identifiable characteristic of Salasaca culture is their tapestries with hand-woven designs and motifs as well as the bags and traditional purses.
