We were visiting the Pumapongo Museum and came upon these dancers. We know they are from an Ecuadorian mountain tribe, but we do not know much more. The song and narration were in Quechua, the native language of these indigenous people. They may be descendants of the Canari with their distinctive alpaca chaps, brilliant embroidery and curving hide hats. We hope through seeing these images you can experience the dance as we did, a sweep of color and culture on a sunny morning in Cuenca.
