What is a Rural Parish?

A "rural parish" is a local area that is mostly countryside, with small villages or farms, rather than a big city. Lloa is a good example of this, offering a peaceful, natural environment away from the busy city life.

Lloa's Connection to Quito

Even though Lloa is rural, it's part of the Quito Canton. A canton is like a county or a larger administrative area. Quito is the capital city of Ecuador, so Lloa is connected to this important region. It's also part of the Pichincha Province, which is a larger state or region in Ecuador.
