climbing of the Cotopaxi volcano, Chimborazo mt and ascent of all the peaks and volcanoes of Ecuador
Arrival at the summit of Cotopaxi volcano

You can't explain why you have that overjoyed feeling when you arrive in the arid landscapes of rock, ice and snow of the high mountains.

Is it because those journeys in the mountains gives you an excellent relaxation after some monotonous days spend in hotels or hazy cities.

Or is it because of this indescribable happiness that follows the conquest of a summit when, your mind full of intense memories, your soul full of sensations and your muscles still tensed, you enjoy your personal victory.
Whatever !
