Hola from Ecuador, from the slopes of Cotopaxi Volcano (5,897 m)! Cotopaxi is one of the most beautiful active volcanoes, ranked among the top 10 most popular mountains in the world for guided climbing. Just a year and a half ago, it erupted and was closed to climbers. Now, the 7 Summits Club group is there, and it is the main destination of the expedition.

Today, our group had a day of altitude acclimatization on the Cotopaxi Glacier. We reached the mountain slopes and ascended to approximately 5,000 meters. The weather was unfavorable—wind, sleet, and the possibility of a thunderstorm—so we decided to descend earlier than expected.

A little later, the weather improved, and even the summit was open, but here, things can change every 15 minutes. Generally, the weather in Ecuador is very changeable and diverse, just like the rest of the country! It's never boring!

Greetings from Mexico, where today the adventures of another the 7 Summits Club team began. The youngest and most unusual team, the Superkids, also known as the Superfamily, began.

Three teenagers, aged 14 to 20, are climbing the highest volcanoes on the continents in the company of their father. This brave team has already climbed Kilimanjaro and Elbrus. Now it's the turn of North America and its highest volcano, Orizaba.

The boys' adventures began a few days ago, when they arrived in Mexico and began exploring it. Yesterday, we finally all got together, introduced ourselves, the boys received gifts, and early this morning, we set off.
We left very early because we decided to see the pyramids of the ancient city of Teotihuacan from above in a hot air balloon before the obligatory excursion.

This time, the weather was on our side. We had a stunning sunrise and an incredible ride above the ancient pyramids. For the kids, it was their first hot air balloon ride. It was a little scary, but the excitement was far greater.
