Media caminata en Cuicocha, proyecto de crianza de alpacas y almuerzo familiar Iniciamos la experiencia con una media caminata alrededor de la sagrada Laguna de Cuicocha, en la Reserva Ecológica Cotacachi–Cayapas. Caminamos a un ritmo
tranquilo, permitiéndonos conectar con el paisaje andino, la energía del volcán y las historias que habitan este territorio ancestral. Durante el recorrido compartimos saberes sobre la cosmovisión andina, la flora y la fauna del entorno.
Continuamos hacia un proyecto comunitario de crianza de alpacas, donde conoceremos de cerca esta práctica ancestral que hoy se mantiene viva como una alternativa sostenible y respetuosa con la Pachamama. Las familias guardianas del proyecto nos explican el cuidado de las alpacas, el uso responsable de su fibra y la importancia cultural y económica de esta actividad.
La experiencia finaliza con un almuerzo típico preparado en el hogar de una familia anfitriona, utilizando productos locales y recetas tradicionales. Compartir la mesa es también compartir historias, sonrisas y la calidez de la vida comunitaria andina.
