Daniel woke up and had a buffet breakfast at the hotel but Gab stayed in the room and did some yoga (after feeling a bit sore after over 14 hrs on the bus yesterday!) We enjoyed a day exploring Cuenca which is Ecuador's 3rd largest city. For now, so long Ecuador and thank you for being amazing (we will be back 😁). So many amazing memories and bucket list items checked off in Ecuador and I know there will be many more exciting things around the corner. The national parks and hikes have taken my breath away! The vastness of this landscape and the preserved beauty is something to behold. We have met the loveliest and most helpful people here and have been treated to incredible food and culture. This country has surprised me in so many ways and surpassed all my expectations. I am excited to continue our adventures in Peru however, I am very sad to be leaving Ecuador. It will be a very long travel day but we have gone to the local candy store to buy some snacks to help us through it 😂. We have tickets for an overnight bus tonight that will bring us into Peru. What a cool experience and another epic day. Apart from a few other hikers we passed, it felt like we had the whole area to ourselves. While still tiring, this altitude felt much more manageable than Cotopaxi (4800m), which had me gasping for air every 5 steps! It was so cool to be able to hike in this national park without a guide or anything.
We hike up and around gorgeous mountains and lakes at an altitude of 3800m.

The plants and trees all seemed like something out of a fantasy movie (the forest specifically reminded me of the forbidden forest in Harry Potter). It is so hard to describe and hard to tell from the pictures, but this park felt like another planet. Today we boarded the bus and headed to El Cajas National Park for a 3.5 hour hike.
