East of town along this dirt/cobble road lies some of the most spectacular scenery imaginable. The road leads to Parque Condor , a refuge for birds of prey and center for environmental education. The obscured mountain is Volcan Imbabura described in an earlier post.
Lush fields abound with year around growing seasons.
The town of Otavalo lies in the distant valley.
A trained rescued hawk returning to his handler at the Parque Condor.
A rescued bald eagle healing before flight can occur again.
And as if the day hadn't already provided unequaled visuals, the summit of Volcan Cotacachi, 16,200 feet MSL, peeked out from above the few remaining clouds at the end of the day.
looks like snow, but it probably clouds. did you go up to the top of one of the volcanos?
