Taking advantage of a great day of sunshine in full do not miss these two wonderful and impeccable villages between valleys and mountains. For a dollar per person and when getting off the bus is worth the visit to the workshop of MACANAS or shawls or handmade fabrics (right in San Pedro de los Olivos).The guide of the place excellent and very friendly.
