Today was very bittersweet, I was sad to be leaving this amazing country but happy to see my family. We left our hotel this morning after breakfast at 7:30am. Our last stop of our trip was Cotopaxi.
Cotopaxi last erupted in 2017. The park is 33,00ha and is located in 3 different provinces. There used to be a lot of farms around this area and now wild horses are seen in the park. Cotopaxi does not have nearly as much water as Cajas. We got out of the bus and walked to Limpiopungo lake. This lake was made by a glacier, there are no fish, just aquatic plants, and some birds. We then headed back on the bus and dropped off our tour guide. After Cotopaxi we went out to lunch at a pizzeria. Then we headed to the Quito airport and said goodbye to our bus driver. Once we got in the airport we said goodbye to Diego which was so sad. Then we waited for our flight to Guayaquil. We landed in Guayaquil and we ate dinner at the Ecuadorian restaurant in the airport. Then we had a group discussion about our likes and dislikes of the trip. It was then time for our flight home and we left Guayaquil at 11pm. I ended up falling asleep on the plane. |
