These photos are from a 3 day trip with the year 12's, to Cotopaxi National Park. The first day was a 6 hour hike, day 2 was an ascent of the lower central peak of Volcan Rumiñahui, and the third day was a hike up to the Cotopaxi refuge at 4800....up from 3800 at the camp. Led by guides of www.andeanface.com These next 4 shots are of Cotopaxi....Volcan Rumiñahui is to the NW of Coto
Don't you love these signs....just in case you don't recognize the iconic peak.
Blueberries galore!
What's left of a horse.

Spoiled....hot tea and camp set up for us at the end of the first day....with dinner ready a half hour later.
Two peaks I haven't climbed yet, Sincholagua on the left, Antisana on the right.
The latest in Ecuadorian scrambling gear/fashion....socks and long undies.
Decending the volcanic rubble from the central summit
Now that is scree bashing! And energy enuf to play frisbee in camp afterwards!
