Follow in the footsteps of the "hieleros", the busy men whose job is to fetch blocks of ice from the flanks of Chimborazo for sale in the city, including restaurants in Riobamba. The ride is done either on horseback or hiking. Go through the association Quilla Pacari or Ahuana to have the telephone contact.

Trés belle région. J'ai fait une descente en VTT sur l'autre versant en partant du refuge.
Ce périple à cheval doit valoir le déplacement :-)
