Ecuador: Bringing Bananas Up The Andes Mountains




Bananas trucked up Ecuador’s Andean Mountains from warmer lands thousands of meters below are being loaded on the llamas of Quichua Indians near Zumbahua (Cotopaxi Province) for further travel to still higher villages.

A plus de 4000 mètres dans les Andes Equatoriennes près de Zumbahua, dans la province de Cotopaxi, des indiens Quichuas chargent leurs lamas de bananes arrivées de terres  chaudes en camion. Leur voyage terminera dans des villages encore plus élevés.
