Riobamba is known as the Sultan of the Andes, and it was the first city to be colonized by the Spanish. It sits in a valley that is surrounded by volcanoes, both active and inactive.
Hi! I'm Jenna Kallas and I am serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Riobamba, Ecuador. I'm excited to share my adventures volunteering as an English teacher and intergrating into Ecuadorian culture.

An unbelievable journey is coming to a close. It has been a privilege to share my Ecuadorian adventures with all of you! I hope I inspired you to get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself!
Carnival is a national Ecuadorian holiday that is celebrated every year in February before Catholic Lent. People celebrate with elaborate costumes, parades, entertainment, public parties and more!
Since I arrived in Ecuador last January I have traveled to a variety of beautiful places. This country has four unique climates: the Amazon, the Sierra region, the coast and the Galapagos Islands.
