Ecuador Expedition: Frank & Team Arrive in Quito!

June 6, 2026

Posted by: Eric Frank

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Ecuador

Elevation: 9,300'

6/6 - After a long day of travel and a few overnight flights, our team is here in Quito! We spent today visiting many of the tourist hotspots and wandering around town. Our purpose was two-fold: experience a taste of Ecuadorian culture and begin the acclimatization process. Moving around town, even on flat ground, at 9,300' felt like a significant effort and we look forward to a good night of sleep before heading out into the mountains.
