IMG Guides Kim Sieradzki and Romulo Cardenas checked in from Ecuador to let us know they had a great rest and recovery evening at Papallacta Hot Springs last night. After a wet and cold climb of Cayambe, it is nice to thaw out and rejuvenate the body in the famous hot springs of Papallacta. Reports are that the team took multiple opportunities before and after dinner as well as a morning soak before heading out for the next destination.
On the way to the our next stop for the night, the team had lunch at a beautiful old Hacienda called Chillo Jijon. A great lunch and tour of the hacienda was followed by a quick drive to the base of Cotopaxi and the Hacienda Loa Mortinos. This Hacienda has great views of Cotopaxi and is a perfect place to stage for the climb. They will now be in position for Cotopaxi and looking forward to climbing again!
All is well in Ecuador!
