Cotacachi Cayapas




Today we were ready by 7:30,ate breakfast and then got on a bus to do a hike up a volcano! When we arrived and started walking up it we soon realised that the hike was very hard as it was very steep and the more we went up the harder it was to breathe because of the altitude. Part way up the volcano we split into two groups and one group got half way up while the other took a more relaxed method of taking 15 steps then stopping for 10 seconds. After the hike was over we had lunch with a family which lived in the mountains. We all liked the food but all though the dessert was too sweet. Once we ate lunch the family showed us their Alpacas which we got to feed. Shortly after we left to go back to the hostel where 6 people went to buy food and supplies for tomorrow while the others relaxed in their rooms. At 7 we went out for dinner which we all liked again but there was a bit of confusion with the garlic bread. When we finished dinner we all went back to the hostel to go to bed.

    Don’t be bringing an alpaca home Maddy. Dad says we’ve got enough pets! 😜
    Walking up the volcano sounds like very hard work. Glad you all made it up in the end.
    Love to you all xxx
