Remote village in the Andean highlands

Cusubamba is a remote village in the Andean highlands within the La Tacunga region. It's surrounded by fields, hills and mountains, and is a good place to walk around. If you take into account the height and the fact that every move higher is more difficult, it is best to leave some things in the village and go back for them a few days later. This means you need a return journey and perhaps it wastes time. The people are friendly, and there is little tourist infrastructure. You can stay in a house if you ask people where there is a free room. You can leave a bit of money, or even better, you can go shopping with your host and ask what they need in the store.

You shouldn't leave more than the price of a basic hotel that is 2 to $ 3 per night per person. Upon leaving, I found Yesica, cheeks full of dirt and messy hair, observing me timidly in front of her house. When I asked if she worked in the field, she proudly said "no I study"! Many children do not have her luck, but she also helps in the fields after school.

Cusumbamba is a small village lost in...

Cusumbamba est un petit village perdu...

Cusumbamba est un petit village perdu sur les plateaux andins dans la région de La Tacunga. Entouré de champs, de collines et de moyenne montagne, c´est un bonne endroit a choisir comme point de départ pour une rando dans la région. Si on tient compte de l´altitude, tout effort inutile coute beaucoup d´énergie, donc si on peut vider son sac au maximum et n´emporter que le stricte minimum, ce sera beaucoup plus pratique. Cependant, cela impose de faire une boucle et non un aller simple, on peut y perdre du temps. Les habitants sont sympathiques, et les infrastructures hôtelières limitées, j´ai campé dans un champs mais on peut aussi demander a dormir chez l´habitant. On laisse un peu d´argent, pas non plus le prix d´un hôtel, ou alors on fait les courses dans la petite coopérative agricole, en compagnie de notre hôte qui nous indique ses besoins. En partant, je rencontre la petite Jessica, les joues pleines de terre et le foulard sur la tête, elle m'observe timidement sur le pas de sa porte. Quand je lui demande si elle travaille au champ, elle bombe le torse et me répond fièrement "non, j'étudie !". Beaucoup dans le village n'ont pas sa chance, même si elle aide aussi aux travaux agricoles dès qu'elle sort de l'école.
Cusumbamba is a small village lost in the Andes in the region of La Tacunga. Surrounded by fields, hills and mountain, this is a good place to choose as a starting point for a hike in the area. Taking into account the altitude, all wasted effort costs a lot of energy, so if you can empty the bag up and carry only the bare minimum, it will be much more convenient. However, this requires looping and not a way you can lose time. The people are friendly, and the limited hotel facilities, I camped in a field but you can also ask to sleep with the locals. It leaves a bit of money, not the price of a hotel, and then go shopping in the small agricultural cooperative, along with our host tells us his needs. On leaving, I met little Jessica, the cheeks of land and head scarf, she looks at me shyly on his doorstep. When I ask her if she works in the field, it puffs out his chest and proudly replied, "No, I study". Many in the village did not have a chance, even if it also helps in farming when she leaves school.

Donde la gente es algo longeva muy interesante, existe una pequeña desviación para recorrer más destinos del Ecuador.
