Riders come with the finest horses from haciendas all across the country. They wear sheepskin coats, heavy striped wool ponchos, and hats representing their province.
They gather for a week in the p\u00e1ramo<\/em> of the Cotopaxi volcano to round up wild bulls, select them, and distribute them among various haciendas.<\/p>\n
