Cotopaxi was one of our favorite places we visited in Ecuador. One thing that made it so amazing were the herds of wild horses roaming the landscape. They were slightly wary of people, but if you were easy going and didn't run at them you could get pretty close. It was an incredible experience.
My favorite place we went in Ecuador was the park surrounding Cotopaxi, an active volcano. We were only able to go for one day, but Sarah and I totally want to go back and spend more time camping and climbing. Even in the one day we spent there, we saw some incredible landscapes. There was the peak of Cotopaxi itself which would occasionally peek out from behind huge clouds and all around were other jagged peaks with vast flatlands in between them. It was a magical place.
