Our latest Ecuador expedition is off to a chilled start. Yesterday guide Josh McDowell and our small private team did a short guided tour of the city, and then headed to the Equator marker – Tick!

A late lunch to go over logistics for the remainder of the trip and then some down time before the hard work starts.

Today the fun begins when the team heads to Otavalo where we will overnight after an acclimatization hike to Fuya Fuya to help get us ready for the altitude to come.

The team is happy to be in Ecuador and are ready to get climbing!
