Vidal Cruz takes a bath in a nearby river during the second day of the pilgrimage of La Virgen de El Cisne in southern Ecuador. Vidal has no legs but still traveled the entire 72 kilometer, three-day pilgrimage, using two wooden blocks to swing his body forward. He has been traveling the pilgrimage for 18 years. "When I am walking on the pilgrimage, I can go all day and it doesn't bother me," Cruz said after the pilgrimage. Cruz regularly received alms from other pilgrims that walk by and admire his tenacity. Cruz is Ecuadorian but lives in Lajas, Colombia with his wife Bertha and despite their small income from running a shop there, traveled from Colombia to El Cisne for the pilgrimage.
