A couple waiting for the bus along the road close to Chimborazo National park. It was cold in the wind for these poor fellows.
Chimborazo volcano is an amazing sight as it reaches up to 6268 meters and due to that it is close to the equator its summit will place you furthest from the center of our planet, even further than Mount Everest.
Vicuna that here is protected and live wild
The Vicuna is relative to the camel
Along the road we came across some Catholic festivity with some dancing
I have no idea exactly what they selibrated but after the dancers there were a group of people carrying the statue of some saint from the church so clearly Catholic.
This man played El Condor Pasa for us at lunch. Great music and if you look it up you will recognize the song
Banos, where we slept last night, lays at the foothill of the volcano Tungurahua and after we left for Riobamba the volcano decided to erupt a bit so this was what I saw from my room in the afternoon and short afterwards I started to get ashes in my eyes. It was not a big eruption and just a little bit of lava but luckily we left early in the morning as the roads were closed of later on.
