Quilatoa

A bit of hiking to Quilatoa lake...very nice. It's a volcano crater filled by a freshwater spring, and rain over the years.

I stayed at a place called The Black Sheep Inn in Chugchilan. It's operated with the idea of making only a positive impact on it's environment and the surrunding community. EVERYTHING is reused, recycled or repurposed and most of the food they provide is grown in the gardens around the hostel. Interesting. At the very least, it was nice to eat some healthy food for a while. I am DONE with fried chicken!
