Peguche Waterfall

5/15/2016

After an exhausting walk through the animal market and amazing shopping in La plaza del Pocho in Otavalo, we decided to do a quick visit one of the awesome waterfalls in the area: “Peguche waterfall”. Kevin and Cedric had a bet to see which taxi arrived first to the place. Unfortunately for Cedric, he lost so Kevin didn’t have to cook at night. However, Kevin did the dishes. After 10 min walking and seeing different Andean vegetation, we saw the nice waterfall of 20 meter (65 feet) tall. Cedric was so excited and started to walk with the Cougar flag close to the waterfall. When we went back to Cotacachi, we had the opportunity to travel on a popular bus in the city.

About this blog:

2016 is the first year for Kevin Murphy’s Neotropical Agroecology class in Ecuador. Students will spend two weeks in Ecuador meeting with, learning from and working alongside farmers, artisans, naturalists and/or ecologists in two distinct ecosystems. During the first week, we will focus on the agroecology and social ecology of northern Ecuador. This will include visits to Puembo, Cotacachi, Otavalo and Peguche in the Andean highlands, followed by three days in the Intag Cloud Forest region on the western slope of the Andes Mountains. The second week will be spent in Quito area in Ilalo, followed by a journey south to the high altitude areas around Riobamba and Cañar. In Quito, we will visit agrosilvopastoral farming systems, seed sovereignty organizations, local farms, Slow Food Ecuador, among other exciting adventures. In Cañar, we will visit and work with an indigenous Cañari farmer association of seed and grain producers. The trip will end in Cuenca, the third largest city in Ecuador.

We invite you to virtually join us on this trip by checking in on this page where we will be posting photos and sharing our experiences while we are in Ecuador.
