The 8-hour bus ride to Latacunga passed through a variety of mountain scenery, from green pastures to ice-capped volcanoes.
We caught the bus to the amazing crater lake of Quilatoa and stayed at 3800 metres - a wood-burner in the bedroom kept us warm. The next day was allegedly 11km mostly downhill to Chugchilan but it took us almost 6 hours - we went an awful long way down before the last 2km up to our night's stay at 3200! The last picture shows what we came down, at times a near vertical scramble/slide with a landslip to negotiate.
Chris walked the next day but Judy didn't. Off to Baños tomorrow, heading slowly to the jungle.
