After the Guayaquil getaway, we had one day back in Quito before we left for four days trekking in mountains even higher than Quito. That is, Scott and our friend Tyler from Eugene hiked the Quilotoa Trek, about eight miles each day with lots of ups and downs. Jody bused or taxied from village to village; her shoulder wasn’t up to carrying a backpack. We stayed in hostels in mountain villages (Isinlivi, Chugchilán, and Quilotoa) amidst Andean beauty.
