Tambopaxi the Lodge



Tambopaxi lodge, really in the middle of nowhere, at about 12,000 feet it is a popular place to acclimatize for  nearby volcanoes. 



 this is a rest day including squash soup





 Under the majesty of the Cotopaxi Volcano and surrounded by five other volcanoes of the Cordillera de los Andes, lies Hosteria Tambopaxi. This hotel in Cotopaxi, Ecuador is the only ecolodge and acclimatization center situated at an altitude of 3750 meters above sea level, in the heart of the Cotopaxi National Park. Where the animals don’t graze the grass grows in clumps about two or three feet high.  There were lots of blueberries, on blueberry bushes when we drove in.  
My window looks out on the side of a hill and there are lots of brown rabbits hopping around and the weather goes from clear to cloudy to foggy which is what it is right now. 








 Mount Chimbarazo
6,263.47 m (20,549.4 ft)


Chimborazo tomorrow. Chimbarazo summit is the furthest point from the equator (the earth in not actually a sphere, it bulges at the equator)
