Our November Ecuador Volcanoes expedition is well underway! After gathering in Quito for a city tour and a visit to the equator, the team enjoyed a welcome dinner before heading to the mountains. From there, they set out for the beautiful Rumiñahui, one of the first acclimatization hikes of the trip. Followed by training and summit bids on Cotopaxi and Cayambe. The weather has been absolutely perfect, with clear skies and sunshine, which are ideal conditions for learning and practicing their skills on the glacier.

Stay tuned for more updates, and check out these photos for a glimpse of our journey so far.
