Chibuleo/Ambato - Tech Trip 1

 
Last week we went on our first tech trip to Chibuleo, a small, indigenous mountain Paroquial in the Region of Ambato. The place was beautiful but waay too cold for this Georgia Peach! (None of these posted in order.)

Strawberry/Coconut milkshake juice

Me and Sandrena (GF buddies!)

The city of Ambato...and yes, we walked that all the way up

Chibuleo countryside

So cold and windy



Totora Loma





My host kid for the week, Dalilah (Dah-LEE-lah)

The interparroquial of San Juan where Yachag Juanito lived



Temazcal

Explaining to us his practices and something about God I only barely understood (in the traditional dress for men)

And his grandkid was riding the dog...
 
Diagnostic practice with a cuy (guinea pig)

We won't go into detail what happened next

Preparing for the cleaning practice.

Rubbing plants over the volunteer after reading her energy through the smoke of a candle

And blowing fire off the plants at her
