Ecuador (pt III)

Baños + Cotopaxi. Completely different seasons, completely different adventures.

Baños offers anything and everything if you're looking for an adventure. Rather than rappelling down waterfalls, we rode bikes next to them. Sore the next day, we visited the town's hot springs at 4:30 am because the locals tend to crowd the pools by 6 am. 

We chose an unfortunate day to venture to Mount Cotopaxi. Low visibility and sleet should have deterred us, but we kept going. My Under Armour couldn't even keep me warm; thank God I bought an alpaca sweater to do the trick.
