Ecuador - Cotopaxi
The mountain's snowy peak was stark against the blue sky, when I first saw it. Cotopaxi had a fantastic appeal. We're already at 3000 meters, and Cotopaxi juts up to 5900 meters, like a proud throne. We camped at Laguna Limpiapunga across from the tallest active volcano.
The night was cold and a light drizzle came down. The cows, bulls, deers, and birds all migrate to the lagoon edge at dusk and seemed to crowd around us.
Earlier in the trip, we did go to Banos, the famous town that cradles the jungle/mountain boundary; and had quite a good time riding bikes through the "rota de las cascadas", but the camera broke.
