During our trek of the Quilotoa Loop high in the Andes mountains of Ecuador we discovered many beautiful flowers along the trails. We didn’t know the name of this flower, but Andy Murdock from the Lonely Planet Staff was able to identify it for us as the Brugmansia Sanguinea, the Red or Scarlet Angel’s Trumpet flower, native to that area. The Quilotoa Loop is one of Ecuador’s most cultural hikes. Each day ends with a stay in an indigenous village where you have the welcoming opportunity to interact with the locals. We had the honor of watching children perform some traditional dances for us.
