• Early in the morning, there is another yoga session in the Andes.
• Then, our destination is one of the most important national parks in the central Andes. Located 86 kilometers from the city of Quito, it gives us the opportunity to change the panorama of cars and buildings for the Andean Páramo and the chuquiraguas (an endemic plant of the highlands).
• Along the Panamericana Sur, also known as the "Avenida de los Volcanes," you can see volcanoes such as Atacazo, Corazón, Ilinizas, Pasochoa, and Rumiñahui, among others, before finally reaching the entrance to Cotopaxi National Park.
• Then we will continue towards Baños for the night. Upon arrival, we will meditate in the hotel garden.

Waking up to the sounds of jungle wildlife is considered a welcome sign in the most diverse forest in the world.

Then we will continue the canoe ride to the Arajuno River and enjoy yoga from a great location to admire the sunset.
