Although Jima is only 2 hours from Cuenca (Ecuador's third largest city) it can feel like stepping back in time. Large rubber boots are the norm, wool is spun by hand, and government medicine is almost non-existent. Jima is being considered as a stop for the Medical Spanish in Ecuador program (www.cedei.org/cuenca/programs/medspanish/) as residents have to be in a large part self-sufficient.
