Hiking in Ecuador is truly the next level as so many of the trails start at such a high elevation. A trail that is not far from Quito is Ruku Pichincha. You take the tram up to about 13,000 fret for the start of the trail. We hiked for about two hours up and one hour down. We were able to make it up to 14,000 feet, which is equivalent to a Colorado 14er, but in Ecuador you could climb even higher. The trail goes for another three to four hours up as the country has limitless hiking!

We straddled two separate ridges for the majority of the hike, which resulted in seeing two separate weather systems constantly changing. For moments you could see all the way down to Quito which is at 9300 feet. The Pichincha trail is truly unforgettable and we will hope to return to it again someday.

While on stage or while doing a hypnotic induction, one will say the following phrase: the deeper you breath, the more relaxed you will become, the more relaxed you become, the deeper you breath. This is an excellent illustration of using repetition. During that short little sentance there are six separate references to reelax, which is putting the person into a more relaxed and hypnotic state.

If you are looking for adventures then Banos, Ecuador is truly a wonder to find. It is considered to be the adventure capitol of Ecuador. While in Banos you can step it up another notch by going whitewater rafting on the Pastaza River which is one of the gateway rivers into the Amazon. We took the trip with the guide Wonder Ecuador and it was a thrill beyond fathom. The river was incredibly challenging as the water was up and we were on Class 4 rapids which are not for the faint of heart. Adrenaline is amazing and this is an adrenaline ride of a lifetime. Our guide was outstanding as he kept us in check which is what was needed for the river. When you do catch your breath, you have a chance to gaze upon the majestic canyons of the Amazon Basin.

Cotopaxi National Park in Ecuador is a true gem! It is in the Andes mountains and is actually an active volcano. What’s amazing is that 20 percent of Ecuador is a National Park and Cotopaxi is a vast region of that park system. We hiked to 16,000 feet and during the process you could notice the lungs being challenged much more than the legs. After taking video of our group, you could tell the steps that we thought we normal were more like baby steps at that height.

As you approach the 15k to 16k area of the mountain you get into a moon like area with tiny rock fragments from the volcano. The temperature dipped to 35 degrees Fahrenheit with winds billowing at 25 mph. The rewarding thing at the 16k mark is there is a small chalet which is a staging area which serves the 19k adventurers who want to get to the next level. They serve the best hot chocolate that Ecuador is known for.
