Freezing my ass off at approximately 6:00pm at 4200m. Near Cotacachi in the paramo.
Maria, 2 years old, Celia's daughter.
Who said you had to go to an adventure park to have a hair-raising experience? Riding the TOP of the bus to Apuela and the hot springs.
Volcano Cotacachi and on frozen boy in the foreground.
Sucess. Celebrating the spoils of the capture of "Fernando".
Fernando close up. The thing around his head is a radio collar for radio tracking.
Andy, the local tormentor. Not really, Celia's child. But the status of tormentor stands.
Maria and myself, and me on my nightly "throne".
Football (soccer) with the Pucara locals. Gringos win 7-2.
Life on the project. Running the radio equipment to determine a bearing for one of the 5 bears we had collared.
One of the MANY orchids, this one on the Tabla Chupa hike. No idea what it is called.
The Intag valley, Apuela to the bottom right.
Celebrating my spoils. I hit the cactus leaf on the first attempt using the blow dart. According to indigenous customs, that means that I am ready to be married.
"Inti-Nan Museum" and on the real equator. Apparently the french screwed up and put their monument 200+ metres in the northern hermisphere...oops.
The basillica, and the view from the north tower.
