80 Senses #74… Climb Cotopaxi
Contrary to popular belief, Ecuador is more than just a staging post for trips to the Galapagos Islands. In fact it’s a mighty fine destination in its own right.
A particular highlight is Cotopaxi, Ecuador’s second highest mountain, and one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. Just 40 miles south of the capital Quito, the perfectly conical Cotopaxi (translated as ‘Neck of the Moon’ in the local Quechua language) is not technically challenging to climb, but the altitude and glaciated slopes make it physically demanding and better suited to more experienced climbers.
