Hello everyone, I've been absent for the last few days, and it's basically because I've been working day and night on this design, which is the province of Carchi in a Mario Bros theme.

 

To make this design I used some cultural references from the region so that people will be located within the map. Within this design, the following "Designs" stand out: The image that has flowers and a Cypress in the shape of a pre-Columbian figure, is the capital of the province, Tulcán, known for the José María Azael Franco Cemetery.

 

Then, the city with a cloud, and raindrops is Huaca, which is known in the region for having its "Own Cloud", then there is the city of San Gabriel, which is represented by the Paluz waterfall, a mythical landscape within the folklore of San Gabriel.

 

Later comes Bolívar, and his characteristic Mammoth, which represents the paleontological museum of Bolívar.

 

The condor represents the city of Mira, characteristic for its famous viewpoint of the Condor, and finally we have the Municipality of Espejo, which is very important within the province at a natural level due to its ecological reserve where frailejones are found, the lagoon green and the most representative natural attraction, the Chiles volcano.

 

For me, making this design was something personal, since at the time I was able to tour the province in its entirety, knowing those beautiful places in the province. Therefore, you want to publicize this wonderful place in pixel art format, to not only capture it, but also to place this little piece of paradise that is located in the North of Ecuador.

 

I also highlighted two relevant places, the town of Tobar Donoso, which is only accessible by helicopter or boat, and Maldonado, which is the only remote town that leads to Tobar Donoso.

One last thing, I really appreciate the help of @Gendocat and my friend @Longelard who were important in making the map as faithful as possible to my concepts and culture in general.

 

I hope you like the design.
