Rest Day at Chilcabamba

After descending Illiniza Norte we drove out of the Illinizas Park, passed through Machachi and on towards Cotopaxi National Park finally stopping at Chilcabamba, a beautiful Hacienda with tremendous views of Cotopaxi.

We had a full evening to rest and didn't have to get up early the next morning. We all had a warm shower before dinner and played cards in the patio area. I'm not a card player but I managed to win and get everyone's money :) It was a fun, simple game, enhanced by some red wine and popcorn snacks. That reminds me, I still owe you guys for the wine!
No wifi here but plenty of outlets to recharge our devices. Nice to enjoy each others' company in a such a relaxed setting.
At dinner we had a good laugh at the expense of another American team that was staying at the hacienda. They were embarrassing themselves with their attitudes and comments. So thankful that our team didn't have a-hole guides like theirs.
