Yesterday, my gringo family and I went on an adventure to el teleférico, a ski-lift that takes tourists and hikers up to Pichincha Volcano. There are kilometers and kilometers of trails, but we decided to call it a day after hiking up a mountain. Breathing was a bit of a struggle-you could really tell the difference between the 10,00 foot elevation down in Quito and 15,00 foot elevation where we were hiking. We even saw some wildlife up above the tree line, a wild horse and some llamas!
