VOLCANO in Ecuador

As I told you before, Ecuador is a very diversity country, small, divided in four regions, multicurtural in many sense and very motivated and strong people in all situations.

We have in Ecuador two main volcanos (we have more), one called the "Taita" Tungurahua, Taita means father in our ancestral language "Quichua" and "Guagua" Pichincha, which means child...

They have been in eruption proccess for many years but we can say is normal in all volcanos around the world, it is part of the nature and common evlution of this natural phenomenon, so like some weeks ago the first one "Taita" Chimborazo started its eruption proccess again in a very strong way, last was in 2006...

Many people near to the volcano have been evacuated to special shelters and the president declared red alert in all the zone around the volcano...

Some people decided to go to the shelters and some not cause they said they did not want to lose thier animals and plantations cause it is their way to ear money for the familly, it is really a difficult situation...

Apart from this situation, there some who go to see the volcano, taking pics and videos of this really spectacular view of the situation. In the morning is a huge quantity of smoke like 10 km of altitude and at night the volcano shows all its power when it is on fire throwing out a lot of ashes, lava and sulfur, it is really spectacular to watch this...

Ecuadorians hope this situation ends asap
