Riobamba Canton

Here the greater part of the population of Ecuador is concentrated.

There stands Quito, the capital of the country, and other important towns like Cuenca, Riobamba, Abanto, Ibarra, and others.

Here also are the great farms called haciendas, often as large as an English county, upon which are pastured three or four thousand head of cattle and fifteen or twenty thousand sheep.

When we leave this high ground and descend the slopes of the Andes towards the east, we come to the immense plain called the Napo, full of virgin forests and inhabited by two hundred thousand savage Indians.

The Drama of Riobamba, 1859.

Ecuador was delivered from the twins, but the last surviving member of the infamous triumvirate, the savage Franco, remained, and Garcia Marino's whole energies were now turned to accomplishing the difficult task of sending him to rejoin his two accomplices.

Um, Not wildlife, but one time we had to go.

We were on our way to Riobamba.

Or no, we were on our way from Riobamba to Shell.

And we were with college students.

And we had a team from Mount Vernon.

So there's volcanoes all over the place.

Yeah.

The one volcano, Tunggara Agua, which is on the way, you basically go around the base of it to go from Riobamba to Shell.

It was true that the provincial government represented almost the whole nation, but how was it possible to defeat and disarm the usurper? With a little army of Carvajal and a handful of volunteers, without guns or any of the munitions of war, how could they hope to conquer the disciplined troops of Franco, assisted by five or six thousand Peruvians and the cannons of the squadron which blockaded Guayaquil? The experience of Tambuco had proved to Garcia Marino the powerlessness of the greatest bravery against numbers and military skill.
