Cotopaxi, Ecuador
The Chagras are skilled horsemen from the Cotopaxi province in Ecuador, deeply rooted in the region’s Andean traditions. Known for their endurance on long horseback journeys, they play a vital role in cattle herding and rural life. Their culture is rich in folkloric music, often featuring guitars, charangos, and rhythmic melodies that reflect their connection to the land. In addition to their equestrian heritage, Chagras take pride in their traditional cuisine, which prominently features pork and llama meat, prepared using time-honored techniques passed down through generations.
