After a fun filled day touring around Quito yesterday, today was our first acclimatization hike. Our target Rucu Pichincha, a 15,696' extinct volcano. With sun breaks and patchy clouds the hike was a success, getting back to the hotel by 3 in the afternoon. There was plenty of time for more exploring and shopping around Quito before the team had a good dinner at a local brewery. RMI Guide Chad Gaffigan
