more hiking

---

yesterday i took guided trip about the laguna mojando, a series of three lakes in a volcanic crater. hiked around the smallest one then hiked up Pua Pua, a twin set of peaks above the laguna. today i took bus south from otavalo, transferred in quito and am now in Latacunga which is the departure point for tours into cotopaxi national park, dominated by the active volcanoe of the same name. I´ll try to book a tour into the laguna quilota, a crater lake, and also to climb volcan cotopaxi. some photos are attached for your perusal.

i´m pointing out puau puau, a peak i climbed overlooking the lago padre. pretty steep climb, but muy bueno vista from el alto.

a little flower clinging to life in this harsh climate
just in case you thought i didn´t appreciate the flowers enroute to life´s grand destinations

here´s the nino lago
this is a fantastic shot of the smallest of the three lakes
