Day trip to Pichincha

First weekend in Ecuador and the weekend before I started my project as a volunteer. We woke up at 6 am to go to the volcano Pichincha, where we went with the Teleferico up the mountains. 

In the morning it was pretty foggy so we couldn’t see anything. But later we could see all of the capital Quito and it was amazing.

I went together with the other volunteers from Germany and Denmark. Most of them are here for a whole year while I am only here for 6 weeks.

In the end the altitude was 4400 m and I could feel that it only was my 3rd day in this altitude compared to the other volunteers who has been here 2 weeks more.
