Time to pay yearly house taxes at the Otavalo municipal office. The process takes about 2 hours. It looks like mass confusion in these photos but everyone gets a number when they arrive. Taxes for the year being only $29.13 is a consolation offsetting the wait.
And then there's paying the water bill in a Kichwa village. It takes about 1 hour but the bill for 1 month was only one-dollar. The water is metered at every residence too.
Photos of their water filtration / pumping plant construction last year. This plant brings fresh, potable drinking water via new plastic pipe to our area in the countryside as well as the Kichwa villages.
