Alausí, Ecuador



There's been a landslide so I'm unable to take the five-hour train ride from Riobamba to Alausí as I'd planned. Instead I need to take the bus to Alausí and take a round trip journey from Alausí along the stretch known as the Devil's nose.

Alausí is pretty little town surrounded by green hills, although there's not much to see or do, apart from climb the small hill crowned with another statue of Christ. From here the view of the town takes on a mystical appearance as low-hanging mist drifts in from the mountains.
