Riding to the Rodeo, Montubio Style



Ecuador. Salitre (Guayas). Day of the Montubios, as local people call Columbus Day and the rest of Latin America calls Dia de la Raza. Montubio is how the mestizo people of Ecuador's lowlands call themselves. Before the rodeo, the participating teams ride through town, their high-spirited female leaders first.
