The ancestral Chimbu is not only a river, a village or the ritual knotting of the Andean-Ecuadorian Indians' hair. In singular it constitutes the primordial name of an entire civilization that would cover the western side of the great Chimbu-Razu volcano, sister and complementary of that other culture located on its eastern side: the Puruway.
Recent studies show a great contact and perhaps influence with the Peruvian Chimó civilization and even its settlement near Lake Titbkaka, in today's Bolivian altiplano. Their ceremonial centers arranged in relation to the birth of the sun in the Andean peaks allow us to understand, for example, the real significance of the great Waranka, boy Guaranda, capital of a province that unfortunately lost its primordial name.
