Cotopaxi Express: Cifelli, Burns and Team Arrive and Explore Quito
Sunday, October 30, 2022 - 7:08 pm PT
The members of the team arrived safely in Quito with all our luggage. Today, we ventured out into Quito for a city tour. At an elevation of over 9,000 ft, this was the perfect acclimatization activity for Day 1. The first (and generally favorite) stop on the tour was at the Mitad del Mundo museum, which means "middle of the world". This museum is located on the equatorial line and the tour guides show us some cool demonstrations along with some interesting history of the region. We balanced an egg on a nail, got our passports stamped and went off to tour Old-Town Quito to see the historic churches and buildings the city had to offer. Tomorrow we are looking forward to a warm-up hike on Rucu Pichincha!
