Ecuador trip, July 2022 Alpine/jungle trip

Here are some updates from “the Andes” (the jungle today).

The team is complete and happy to start gaining some elevation, day by day we are getting there.

A day in town, walking around the old city and trying new food.

Mud and altitude, a little cold and lots of laughter these days.

Enjoying the hot springs of Papallacta for a couple of afternoons, getting ready for the alpine/glacier terrain ahead.
