I believe that these are both guagua chumbis. By the way, “guagua” is pronounced wa-wa. Each measures around three meters. I have noticed a trend towards wearing doubke woven belts from Potosi in Otavalo. These belts are narrower and only wrap once around the waist. I wonder if they are as effective for holding up the two anakus. Look at the car motif on the red belt.
