Today Jordana and I set off with an Israeli girl named Einat as well as our guide Jose for Cotopaxi National Park. Its the highest climbable peak of any currently active volcano in the world (at least according to their museum).
We drove up to the 4500 and from there hiked up to 4800m where we took a break and had lunch. The altitude made it somewhat hard to breathe, but the view was amazing so we continued up to the level of the snow/glaciers at over 5000m. It was pretty funny watching all of the Ecuadorians playing in the snow, which is obviously not so novel to us Canadians!
Tomorrow we head out on a 3 day adventure which should take us through some small towns and to a crater lake at Quilotoa. I´m looking forward to it!
