Two Ecuadorians herding cows along the road

Two Ecuadorians are herding cows along the road as a truck pulls up behind.

This photo shows the dichotomy of modern and traditional society prevalent in Ecuador. Two women dressed in traditional Quechua clothing herd cows alongside a road as a modern truck idles impatiently behind. Even though modernity has reached many areas of Ecuador, the Quechua-speaking peasants maintain their traditional way of life.
