Living in Ecuador where the Andes meet the Amazon forest

After visiting many countries in Central and South America, I eventually arrived in Ecuador with my brother and his girlfriend. We had this project for a very long time to visit our friend and his family living in Ecuador for now almost 20 years. They live within a Quechua community close to the city of Tena, not far from the bottom of the Andes at the beginning of the Amazon forest. My brother and his girlfriend rented a car at the beginning of the trip so we took advantage of it to visit the surrounding area together with some members of the family. At the end of the week, they continued their trip to south Ecuador while I stayed two more weeks living a local life with my friend, his family and the community. This was an unforgettable experience and I am so grateful to everyone for welcoming with such warmth and teaching me so much about the local life in a Quechua community.
