    Cotopaxi

    March 28, 2023 in Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C

    Highlights:
    - Feeding the llamas! They loved banana skins and dandelions
    - We had a hot bath which was incredible
    - Sitting in the jacuzzi with views of Cotopaxi volcano
    - Very relaxing hostel stay with no WiFi, lot of reading and playing cards
    - We had a log burner in our room and we toasted marshmallows and kept cosy and warm
    - Hiking for a couple of hours to some nice waterfalls and some lovely scenery, although it was very muddy and we got wet feet walking in the river despite wearing wellies!

    Lowlights;
    - The altitude was a bit of a struggle again, but not too bad
    - We said goodbye for probably the last time to friends we met in November and met up with in lots of different countries

    Food and drinks:
    - We finally tried canelazo which is a hot drink made from a fruit similar to an orange, spices and rum - delicious!
    - Unlimited bananas and banana bread at the hostel (got to feed those llamas!), and hot chocolate too
