The Moya Community is a small group of farmers who have help from the government and travel companies to create an indigenous education centre.
Here we met the llamas Loretta and Carmelita and their friends Julia and Lolita who took us around and told us about their community. Loretta and Carmelita carry their food on their backs for easy access to alfalfa and corn. Carmelita ate all her food and thought she would help Loretta finish up.
The Moya grow corn and quinoa, and have llamas, cows and sheep. Both women and men till and plant the fields. During our visit we saw them digging a ditch as a community.
The women spin the wool to make their traditional clothing.
The white hat they wear pays respect to the Chimborazo Volcano with a black ribbon to acknowledge their Inca cultural heritage. The white hat is made of fibres from the algave plant.
