Ecuador: Starting A Cold Day On Chimborazo's High Slopes


Hiking up a high slope of Ecuador’s snow-capped Chimborazo Volcano at dawn, I surprised this indigenous man as he was ready to herd sheep to pasture from the saddle of his horse. To protect himself against the biting Andean cold he had covered his legs with sheep-skin pants. His people, whose tribe name I failed to learn, live a harsh semi-nomadic life among their sheep, sleeping in small straw huts.
