We leave behind these bucolic views

But fortunately, we are also leaving this critter behind with all that lushness

Out of the banana fields

Who knew your banana lived it's entire life inside a plastic bag. Isn't every bag stamped with "caution: may cause suffocation"?

As we ascend to the Chimborzao Wildlife Reserve, the temperature plummets. We stop at this first "town", to put on more layers and the wind takes off with Blaster's Klim Jacket that has full armor!

The hut looks to be the most sturdy structure around this wind

We are riding about 14,500 ft. We might be in Wyoming looking at this landscape?

These are Vicuna. Yep, relatives of Camels and Llamas.

It's pretty foggy on the top of the range. We pass right by Chimborazo (20564 ft) whose claim to fame is that since it sits so close to the equatorial bulge, the summit is the furthest point from Earth's center.

We arrive around 1700 to Banos and the Hotel Posada del Arte for the next two days. About 30 mins later, Kellie's chariot arrives.
