Just back from 4 days in the Quilotoa Crater Lake region. Had a great time. The Crater Lake is very similar to the Crater Lake National Park in Oregon, USA (but not quite as impressive). Plan was to Trek up to the Crater, the next day trek around the rim and on the last day trek down to the lake and back out of the crater. Great plan until I got a wee bout of food sickness, complete with the usual symptoms. After a day in bed, still managed the trek around the Crater Rim and down to and up from the Lake.
Tomorrow we are off to a local peak which is just short of 5,000m (15,500feet). So, time to gain some altitude.
Signing off from Quito (where it seems to constantly rain).
