Ecuador, 20 February 2017
The morning after the 1st round of Presidential elections
 Ecuador will hold a runoff election to choose a successor for President Rafael Correa,
the country’s electoral commission ruled, in a vote being closely watched around Latin America.
The results on this Monday morning confirmed earlier indications that
 the governing party candidate, Lenín Moreno,
and a conservative former banker, Guillermo Lasso, 
would face off in a second round on April 2.
The photos were taken in the streets of Cuenca.

Shuar, in the Shuar language, means "people." 
The people who speak the Shuar language live in tropical rainforest between the upper mountains of the Andes, and the tropical rainforests and savannas of the Amazonian lowlands, in Ecuador extending to Peru. Shuar live in various places — thus, the muraiya (hill) shuar are people who live in the foothills of the Andes; the achu (swamp-palm) shuar (or Achuar) are people who live in the wetter lowlands east of the Andes (Ecuador and Peru).
