Ecoturism in Chimborazo
Nowadays the community tourism is becoming a new alternative to have a real experience of life. All around Ecuador there is established a network of community tourism to offer travellers the option of living more intimately together with the indigenous communities of each region and learn deeply about their lifestyle.
Last November 26, Tropic Journeys in Nature explored the Chimborazo province, in the central highlands of Ecuador. The visit to the Lama’s cultural museum; trekking in the Lama trail; experience their authentic weaving process and the amazing practice of the traditional “hieleros del Chimborazo” (how the people of the community get ice from the volcano manually to sell it in their markets) are some of the uncountable options that this region and this very committed and cosy people is encouraging.
After this journey we realized the commitment and willingness to strive and push their project and above all could experience the experience of their programs if they promise to be very valid for an international promotion. It is important our participation and we reinforce our support to this kind of projects; due to we strongly believe this type of tourism supports the survival of these communities and their culture. Each visit not only provides a real experience of life, but it will encourage to the evolution and maintenance of communities and their traditions.
