notes:
|
A huaca, in Quechua, is either an object that represents something revered or the specific locale or shrine, which is venerated and holy, and can be a burial chamber of a mummified ancestor.Cayambe is the highest and coldest point on the equator. Cayambe is both a volcano, long thought to be extinct, and an inhabited place.
