Annie's Ecuador & Galapagos Trip πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¨ 2023 : Alto Coca, Ecuador

Day 4 July 13th 2023 Alto Coca 


(My handwriting was so bad because I was soooo tired.)


 Literally all of the day was hiking which took 7 hours total to hike to Alto Coca.  The beginning was easy, but it quickly became muddy, steep, and uphill.  It was definitely the hardest hike I have ever done, but my friends in the “slow group” helped me. It was raining hard. The last hour was also pouring rain and I was soaked, but we eventually made it to the shed with no electricity that now seemed like a 5 star hotel. It was so nice laughing with my group members after a hard day with Mushroom soup.


Day 5-6  July 14, 2023 Coca 


 Today was the day we left alto coca. We started early because we wanted to beat the rain. During the hike I did slip a lot, But it was a lot easier going down than up. It only took us around 3 hours to reach the town that we left from originally. We then had it to a beautiful giant waterfall to wash off. On the way there I also learned that Canadians don't actually say hoser…  The waterfall was the best part of my day and I wish I took a picture.  We then took a very rocky 5 hour bus ride to the nice hotel where I got to talk to my parents. I will miss Mark, Caro, Jordan, Sylvia, and Carlos, but it is also nice to have electricity again and no bees in the cabins.
