Cayambe






 From Otavalo, we traveled to Cayambe,and stayed in an old hacienda, dating from the 1500's.  Our room was in the wing on the right.






Cayambe is the third highest peak in Ecuador



 We went by 4wd to the snow line, some walked to the glacier, but we were a but confused at the altitiude, and passed on the walk.  We weere up at abour 4600m.






 We also visited the Equator at Cayambe, our group is posing by the sundial.












 On the drive back to Quito, we also passed Cotopaxi, the second highest volcano in Ecuador.   The scenery is stunning
