Entering the Andes Region

Our sweet little engine that could climbed into the vast and beautiful mountains dividing Ecuador. We were all amazed at how populated and productive the region appeared.

There were plenty of animals and crops along the day's journey. We rolled through small villages and large cities.

Several stops afforded opportunities to walk through markets and fields and learn about the indigenous people, costumes, blue agave, quinoa, alpaca and llama. It is a fascinating tour of the Andes.
