Itinerary description

Started after catching the bus from Latacunga with took 2 hours.We followed another travellers wikiloc for directions, its a must because its very easy to miss the small changes in the trail.We followed road into town for a coffee then out along the dusty road which is sign posted for the 1st half.
We stopped for lunch at the stream/river bend.Following the road again to a small village, go through it then look to the left for a white bottle follow the thin path up hill for 40 mins or so. We have our 2 boys 9 and 11years, they found it not to bad its steep but the view at the top road its fantastic.Follow the dusty road to town for a well earned beer or soft drink.
Take your time, have lots of water & enjoy it.
Ill keep you posted for day 2
Ps Staying at the Taita Christal, its great!
