Amazing Mojanda and Runa Tupari
Runa Tupari Native Travel的点评
点评：Well, what an amazing 30 hours or so. Cam, my son had been to Ecuador in 2017 on a Camps International expedition and had wanted to return ever since - specifically to the Mojanda region. I’d tried to find ways of getting there but it looked tricky from Quito as it required a 4-WD for the last leg and there were no obvious options.
Then, almost by accident I came across Runa Tupari, a travel company formed by indigenous communities. They would customise a trip to our request. We booked to be collected from Quito, transported to Mojanda, have an English speaking guide for a walk around the lakes, then after lunch stay with a family in an indigenous community overnight before being driven back to Quito the next day.
Sure enough we were collected by Claudio at 7am and the driver (sorry - not sure of name but a right character) and driven to Mojanda. They had left home at 4.30 to be on time.
Once at Mojanda we left the vehicle and driver and began our hike. Claudio knows the area like the back of his hand, pointing out and naming the peaks and lakes we could see and also some of the flora. He was friendly and sociable too and aware we struggled slightly with any inclines due to the altitude. The scenery was stunning and it became evident and confirmed by Claudio we were indeed where Cam had been six years earlier - confirmed by the constant grin on his face.
After this amazing walk we met the truck again and went to Cotocachi for a fantastic lunch in a local restaurant chosen by Claudio. Being vegetarian was not an issue and sorted in advance. Then it was off to stay with the indigenous family chosen by Runa Tupari. This was a fantastic experience though I don’t feel we made the most of it due to our lack of Spanish. The family were very welcoming and we went to help harvest what I think were chocho beans. Great to be involved. Then back to the homestay to chill, watch the father train his youngest in football, play with the dog, and have an amazing (veggie) meal. Brilliant. There were lots of football memorabilia around the house - photos and trophies - and I as a football fan would loved to have chatted about it but my lack of Spanish prevented this happening. I did however find a photo on my phone of a team photo of a football team I played in in 1987 and they all loved that!! After an early night we had a great breakfast, shelled the beans we had harvested the previous day, and then were collected and driven the two hours back to Quito.
Cam and I cannot speak highly enough of the way this trip was organised, the way we were treated by Claudio and the driver (sorry again!), and the amazing family we stayed with who welcomed us in and gave us a brief insight into their lives.
If you are in Ecuador, and around the Quito area check out Runa Tupari for options available or to customise your trip - And do visit a homestay - you won’t be disappointed I’m sure.

翻译：嗯，这 30 个小时左右真是太棒了。我的儿子卡姆 (Cam) 于 2017 年参加国际营地探险队前往厄瓜多尔，从那时起就一直想再回来，特别是莫扬达地区。我试图找到到达那里的方法，但从基多出发看起来很棘手，因为最后一站需要四驱车，而且没有明显的选择。
然后，几乎是偶然，我遇到了 Runa Tupari，一家由原住民社区组建的旅游公司。他们会根据我们的要求定制一次旅行。我们预订了从基多出发，送往莫扬达，有一个英语导游在湖边散步，午餐后在一个土著社区的一个家庭中过夜，然后第二天开车返回基多。
果然，早上 7 点克劳迪奥和司机（抱歉 - 不确定名字，但角色正确）来接我们，并开车前往莫扬达。为了准时到达，他们于 4.30 准时出发。
到达莫扬达后，我们离开了车辆和司机，开始了徒步旅行。克劳迪奥对这个地区了如指掌，他指出并命名了我们可以看到的山峰和湖泊以及一些植物群。他也很友好，很善于交际，并且知道由于海拔的原因，我们在任何斜坡上都会遇到一些困难。风景令人惊叹，克劳迪奥很明显地证实了我们确实是卡姆六年前去过的地方——他脸上不断的笑容证实了这一点。
经过这次令人惊叹的步行后，我们再次遇到了卡车，然后前往科托卡奇，在克劳迪奥选择的当地餐厅享用了美味的午餐。吃素不是问题，而且是提前解决的。然后前往鲁纳·图帕里选择的土著家庭居住。这是一次很棒的经历，尽管由于我们不会西班牙语，我觉得我们没有充分利用它。这家人非常热情，我们去帮忙收割我认为是乔乔豆的东西。很高兴参与其中。然后回到寄宿家庭放松一下，观看父亲训练他最小的孩子踢足球，与狗一起玩耍，并享用一顿美味的（素食）餐。杰出的。房子周围有很多足球纪念品——照片和奖杯——作为一名足球迷，我很想谈论这件事，但我不会西班牙语，阻止了这种情况的发生。不过，我确实在手机上找到了一张我 1987 年效力的足球队的照片，他们都很喜欢这张照片！早起的一夜后，我们吃了一顿丰盛的早餐，把前一天收获的豆子去壳，然后收集起来，开车两个小时返回基多。
卡姆和我对这次旅行的组织方式、克劳迪奥和司机对待我们的方式赞不绝口（再次抱歉！），以及与我们住在一起的令人惊叹的家庭，他们欢迎我们入住，并向我们简要介绍了他们的情况。生活。
如果您在厄瓜多尔的基多地区，请查看 Runa Tupari，了解可用选项或定制您的旅行 - 并且一定要参观寄宿家庭 - 我相信您不会失望的。
