Unearthing the Secrets of the Yumbos 🌿
Long before the forests northwest of Quito had a name, the Yumbos called it home. 🏔️
For nearly two thousand years, they farmed, built and traded across the steep western slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes, weaving together the worlds of the Andes, the Pacific coast and the Amazon.
*In Episode 5 of “Beyond the Journey”*, we follow their ancient pathways deep into the cloud forest, uncovering a story whose legacy still lives beneath the roots, the rocks and the mist — one we are only just beginning to understand. 🎙️
