Carina Sjoberg-Hawke`s report of an English student of Historia in Atillo












La casa de los voluntarios y turistas



Los Saskines; restaurant, home, mountains and eco-route

Durante un mes yo vivía y trabajaba en un restaurante se llama Los Saskines. Toma su nombre de las montañas que domina en el fondo, que son en parte de los páramos en la comunidad de Atillo (h.3000m sobre el nivel del mar).

The landscape is somewhat like the highlands of Scotland and near The Lakes of Atillo, a tourist attraction and local haven for tranquillity and fishing, reminiscent of Norway. The lakes and the rest of the moor are surrounded by mountains leading off in one direction to Macas (c.1500m above sea level) in the Oriente – the warm jungle parts of Ecuador - and in the other Guamote or Riobamba - cities of the Andes, South of Quito.

Los páramos is a life..... more press here
