The "Chiva" is a traditional means of transportation that was initially adapted for public transportation, especially on the Ecuadorian coast. It is a very colorful and eye-catching vehicle in Quito and is used for special events such as the city's festivities, although in coastal rural areas it is still used for passenger transportation.
