Life in the countryside of Ecuador
Ecuador's population is ethnically diverse. The largest ethnic group (as of 2010) is the Mestizos, who are mixed race people of Amerindian and European descent, typically from Spanish colonists.
The Photo was taken not far from Teleferico on the Pichincha Volcano.
Pichincha Volcano, TelefériQo Cruz Loma.
The two highest peaks of the mountain are Wawa Pichincha (4,784 metres) and Ruku Pichincha (4,698 metres). Both peaks are visible from the city of Quito and both are popular acclimatization climbs. Wawa Pichincha is usually accessed from the village of Lloa outside of Quito. Ruku is typically accessed from the TelefériQo on the western side of Quito.
