Cotopaxi Express:  Seth Waterfall & Team Take Acclimatization Hike

Hey, this is Seth checking in from our Ecuadorian Hacienda Chilcabamba near Cotopaxi. We had a lovely day on the Illinizas acclimatizing. Today we reached an elevation of just over 15,000 feet. The group is doing great and today after having lunch at the Refugio de New Horizons we descended back to our van and drove over here to the hacienda. We are about to have dinner and as I look out the window of the hacienda dining room I can just see Cotopaxi breaking out of the clouds. We were in mix of rain and hail for a little bit today with cloudy skies throughout the day. Then just as we pulled up to our hacienda we got our first glimpse of the mountain. We are all psyched to get rolling tomorrow and we are going to head up to the Cotopaxi Refugio and we'll be there for two nights. We will check in again soon. RMI Guide Seth Waterfall

Will be praying for better weather, as Cotopaxi is beautiful from the airplane window, it must be stunning from your perspective. Enjoy the adventure and stay safe! Please give my regards to the next president of Pakistan…..
