When we got up on the morning that we were leaving Riobamba, the sky towards Chimborazo looked clear. We bolted out of our hotel room and mounted the mirador for the fifth time. Chimborazo was magnificent. After all the rain we had, Tungurahua (we know it from Banos) is now also topped with snow. A third peak can be clearly seen - it's El Altar. What a finale before we leave the Avenue of the Volcanoes!"

Sun-Ling and John have been traveling the earth since 2008 while blogging, eating vegetarian and vegan, and riding public transportation. We love uphill day hikes, 20th-century architecture, Roman ruins, all bodies of water, local markets, shopping for groceries, aqueducts, miradors, trip planning, blablacar, and more.
