After a night out in Quito where the majority of the night was spent at an Irish pub called Finn McCool´s (which wasn´t that cool), we decided to get out of the city the next day.
We took a 3hr bus out to a town in central Ecuador called Baños, which means baths. Baños is a holiday spot at the base of a volcano where people come to bathe in the hot springs. The whole town is covered by this misty cloud, and along with the old novelty caterpillar trains and the abandoned water slide towers the whole town has an eerie 70's carnival feel to it. We encountered the local dog gang that roam around town together. Friendly, yet fiery when one spots some food. No rabies though (don´t worry Mums).
Back to Quito tomorrow to get ready before we start the Andean Bear project on Monday. Five weeks chasing after bears in the Andes Mountain ranges!
