The Cotopaxi volcano

Me and Sander went to the Cotopaxi volcano and we hired a car with a guide. We parked at the altitude of 4500 m and from there we had to climb up another 300m to the 'refugio'. That was difficult for me, because I had problems with breathing because of the altitude. The guide was very patient (he didn't seem to have any problems) and waited for us. We even went farther than the refugio to see the gletchers. It was really impressive!
