Cotopaxi Area: Day 1

Today we travelled from the airport to Secret Garden Cotopaxi. The drive was about 2 hours, but once we came off main roads it was BUMPY. Like, hold onto a handle and strap in tight bumpy, which we did because the seat belts kept getting really tight and then locking 😂.

When we finally made it to Secret Garden Cotopaxi, we were pretty spent and we were immediately welcomed, whisked out of the car and brought to dinner. We were put at the volunteer table, unknowingly, so everyone was very chatty and knew each other while I just sat awkwardly for a bit. They were all very nice though once I did start to chat over dinner.

We were taken to our cabana and it was really nice! There was a fire going in the fireplace and it was nice and toasty warm. I'm also so glad it had a bathroom so that I didn’t have to trek outside to find things. Because it’s dark, it was quite hard to work out where things were and it was a lot bigger than I thought it would be!

We have to be up early for our hike, so we climbed into a very comfy bed for a relatively early night, still feeling like we were rocking on the boat. Hopefully that feeling goes away soon, so we can battle this altitude!Okumaya devam et
