Cajabamba is a city in the province of Chimborazo, Ecuador, located in the highlands of the Andes at an altitude of about 2,600 meters. The city is known for its mild climate, colonial architecture and rich agricultural traditions, with corn, potatoes and fruits being abundant in the surrounding area.
Cajabamba retains its Spanish colonial churches and plazas, and the local population is mostly Mestizo (a mestizo ethnic group), with a deep blend of traditional culture and Catholic festivals. The annual harvest festival and religious processions attract many tourists.
The city is surrounded by natural landscapes such as the Chimborazo Volcano, which is suitable for hiking and eco-tourism. Cajabamba is also an important transit point to the Chimborazo Reserve and is known for its pristine Andean village atmosphere.
The economy is based on agriculture and animal husbandry, with handicraft making (e.g. wool weaving) as an important sideline. The cities are small and the pace of life is soothing, making it an ideal destination to experience the folklore of the Ecuadorian Andes.
