Rest Day inBaños de Agua Santa
Hi Everyone,
Stephen checking in again from Ecuador. We had a great rest day yesterday in Baños de Agua Santa. In the morning we checked out some impressive waterfalls, had a good lunch where Jose surprised us with a buffet of Ecuadorian fruit, explaining where they grow and the season. In the afternoon, we had a few free hours that some of us used for a massage and other self-care, then wrapped up with a nice dinner overlooking the city. We’re about to start the drive to Chimborazo and will approach our high camp this afternoon. Everyone’s feeling recovered and excited about tackling our last big mountain of the trip!
Excellent expedition. Well-planned and executed. Bonus of exposure to Ecuadorian culture. Guides were personable, hard working and fun. World class climbing.
