The 7 Summits Club group in Ecuador managed to do a lot of different things in one day and climbed to 4,100 meters

January 5th. Today was our group's first full day in Ecuador. And we had a very busy time. Early in the morning, we headed to the equator. We saw how the local tribes lived, how they scalped and boiled skulls. We also saw the anacondas and boa constrictors that inhabit the local jungle.

We conducted a series of experiments right on the equator. Even one of our members, Alexey, managed to balance an egg on a nail, for which he received a special diploma.

 Then we strolled through the historic center of Quito, visiting the Bun Hill with its winged Virgin Mary at the summit. There, we had lunch at a very picturesque restaurant and then headed to the slopes of the active volcano, Rucu Pichincha. We acclimatized at 4,100 meters and barely escaped a thunderstorm. We ended the evening at an Italian restaurant, where we discussed plans for tomorrow.

 Tomorrow is our first mountain.  7 Summits Club Super Guide Lyudmila Korobeshko from Ecuador.
