And many more.

” I like to see all the people come here and create a community, because I have learned about different cultures and languages. It’s very unique. It helps the Ecuadorians as well with different activities, like jobs, learning different languages and different foods. Because of the diversity we have so many different food options here compared to our population and to all of Ecuador.”

Erika has pursued disciplines that not only intellectually challenges her but also provides her with the opportunity to defend justice and people’s rights.


Born in the Sacred Valley, she is part of a large extended family who has lived in Loja province for multiple generations. She doesn’t know how far back. She grew up in a family environment that values education, hard work, and integrity. Her Grandmother was a huge influence in her life, always encouraging her to be independent.

“I am proud to be part of this community and to make myself available to the people who live here and for those who come from other places in search of justice, peace, harmony, and connection with nature.”
