The first two weeks of January 2012 we all took a trip to the Ecuadorian Andes. My family, hosted the group in a farm close by to the capital city, Quito. During this time, we had a great experience climbing a few of the mountains in the northern region of Ecuador. We reached the summit of Pasochoa (13779 ft), Illiniza Norte (16,818 ft) and Cotopaxi (19,347 ft). We also did some rock climbing and a short backpacking trip to the crater lake of Altar. During these travels we all experienced and analyzed some of the areas of design we want to explore. Here are some images of the adventure and stunning landscapes.
