Ozogoche plot

Cuviví calls the indigenous people of Ecuador the Bartram's horseman, a stilt walker. It is a bird with special significance for the communities living around the Ozogoche lakes, in the middle of the Andes. Every year, birds from North America migrate south. Around September they pass the Ozogoche Lakes, where large numbers then 'commit suicide': they plunge from a great height into the ice-cold water. The dead birds wash up on the banks, where they are picked up and prepared into a feast, surrounded by rituals.
