Crator lake

It's hard to describe how cold it was - the wind is cruel, which is why the local people have rough, red cheeks and hands. But what a setting..

Sierra hut

These huts on the high sierra of the Quilotoa loop look like haystacks from behind - the door is on the side most sheltered from the relentless wind

Caldo

The niños get a bowl of 'caldo' or soup on leaving school at midday - they eat it on the way home - it can take them one to two hours to walk to and from school in rural areas

Oooh! Well I never!!

I wouldn´t have thought a camp llama possible, but isn´t there something very Kenneth Williams about this expression?
