2019 november: Ecuador - Cotopaxi National Park
Our next destination was the Cotopaxi National Park with its 5,897 m high Cotopaxi mountain.
The Cotopaxi is also one of the tallest still active volcanoes in the world. We stayed some nights in the venerable Hacienda San Agustin at the foot of the Cotopaxi.
The Cotopaxi National Park opens up around the volcano and is very impressive in terms of landscape. We explored the national park in two day tours. The summit of the Cotopaxi is mostly hidden under clouds and therefore not easy to photograph.
