Ecuador Volcanoes: Grom & Team Acclimatize at Laguna Cuicocha
Buenas tardes, amigos!
All is well here in Ecuador. Today the team left the modern comforts of Quito and made our way north for our second acclimation hike. It was incredibly clear on our drive with amazing views of Cayambe, Cotopaxi and Imbabura. We were also joined by our amazing local guide and all round superwoman Fatima. She will also be guiding and providing her local knowledge to further enrich our experience here in Ecuador.
We drove about three hours north to visit and hike around the beautiful Laguna Cuicocha. It’s a hidden lake that sits high above the town of Otavalo where we are staying the night. The hike was just under four hours and took us from dense forest, Andean highlands, to surreal views of the lake and city beneath. Everyone enjoyed the day even if it was a little hot at times with the sun shining nearly all day.
The team is currently relaxing in our new very comfortable lodge for the night and looking forward to a peaceful and good night's rest.
Casey, Jackson, Fatima and the RMI amigos!
