Cotopaxi Area: Day 7

Today was a rest day, so just like after our first two hikes, we took it easy today. Allan was feeling a bit tight in his calves from using the crampons, so some stretching and (self)leg massaging was also on the cards for today.

We spent time together looking at plans and doing Duolingo. We also pet lots of dogs and ate lots of banana bread. And we finally fed the alpacas! They were very greedy for the banana peels even though they don't do anything but eat all day anyway! We also tried to go in the jacuzzi, but, man, that thing takes forever to heat up! It was like a lukewarm bath...not the best.

Our time in Ecuador is so different from Colombia, but I'm enjoying being able to look at planning Peru and Bolivia and meet new people. The scenery to do it all is pretty great too 🏔️🗻⛰️

Allan packed his bags tonight before he heads to Chimborazo 🌋 tomorrow morning. Once he leaves, he won't be coming back to the Secret Garden Cotopaxi.Read more
