The 7 Summits Club "EG Masters" group recuperates in the jungle after Cotopaxi

 January 21st. News from the EG Masters group. After a successful ascent of Cotopaxi Volcano, we finally indulged in the luxury of a good night's sleep and recuperation at the luxurious Samari Hotel. Warm beds, silence, and a sense of accomplishment were the perfect start to a new day.

Refreshed and energized, we headed to where nature reveals its wild side—the true jungle. A narrow trail wound through dense greenery: the humid air, tangled vines, giant ferns, and the sounds of the jungle all around created a feeling of total immersion in a pristine world. Every step was like a scene from an adventure film.

Our destination: the Devil's Cauldron waterfall. And it was impressive from the very first second. Powerful streams of water crash down with a roar, swirling in a bubbling cauldron, demonstrating the incredible power of the elements. The waterfall is also astonishingly beautiful: in the sunlight, the finest spray creates a vibrant rainbow, as if nature had staged this spectacle especially for us.

After the walk, lunch awaited us—fresh trout in a cozy restaurant overlooking the waterfall. The sound of the water, the aromatic lunch, and the sense of harmony—a perfect combination.

On the way to the hotel, we stopped for a local delicacy, kuy. In the evening, we dined at a trendy spot: the walls are decorated with animal prints, an open fire is in the center, and music and a disco are all around. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, but we're not in the mood for dancing today.

We have big plans ahead. Tomorrow morning we'll move to the Chimborazo high camp, and tonight we'll be summiting. Our goal now is to rest, recover, and recharge.

Wish us luck!

See you there! Super guide Lyudmila Korobeshko and assistant Alexander Spirin.
