Before and after our Amazon trip, we were in Quito where we could easily organise day trips to various surrounding areas. Sonja took the chance to go on a tour to Quilotoa Lagoon, a crater lake, and Cotopaxi Volcano. Cotopaxi is supposed to be a very iconic looking, snow topped volcano with incredible views from the top but the weather, which is very unpredictable and can change by the minute, decided to stay vey cloudy for the whole time. None the less, it was still a pretty fun day and the top was up above 15,000ft, higher than the highest mountain in Europe (and obviously Australia since we don't even really have mountains).
Quito itself was nice enough for a South American capital city but it was not without its dodgy and dangerous areas. We were staying in a very touristy area but still had to keep our wits about us at night time.
