Above La Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Agua Santa in Baños, Ecuador

As a semi-vegetarian who tears up after seeing roadkill and would rather starve than hunt animals, I don’t know why I am posting these photos, but maybe it’s because I can’t believe such a place exists. Above La Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Agua Santa in Baños, Ecuador is a weird, little museum. Its collection consists of poorly kept taxidermy posed somewhat ridiculously, religious paintings, church vestments, military attire and toy trucks. Yes, you read that last part correctly. Toy trucks. This isn’t supposed to make any sense. Religion rarely does. Most of the items on display were donated by pilgrims visiting the church. So if weird animal dioramas covered in fake blood (PLUS TOY TRUCKS) is totally your thing, then I suggest you catch the next plane to South America. Send me a postcard!
