Latacunga

Straight from the airport in Quito we went to the bus station to catch a bus to Latacunga (a small town south of Quito). We spent shabbat wandering around the town - through the markets and quaint shops. One heck of a lot of window shopping for me!

Tomorrow morning we head out with a guide to the nearby volcano, Cotopaxi. We won´t be doing that much hiking, but the views should be incredible. This will be in preparation for the next few days as we set off for the Quilotoa loop - a 3 day journey through various small towns that includes hiking the outer perimeter of the extinct Quilotoa volcano - now containing a crater lake. Should be awesome, and hopefully I´ll have the stamina to keep up with Jordana!
