Lovely breakfast at Hostel Chimenea before picking up our guide and our horses, Cocalisa and Poppy. After gingerly jumping on, the horses gingerly shuffled up the mountain path. Uphill was tricky, but it was nothing on coming down - some parts were very steep! The risk of broken bones and the sore bums afterwards was justified by the amazing views of Tungurahua volcano, the town and the surrounding valleys ..... oh and the cool treehouse and swing at the top. Went for an eving session at the Piscina de la Virgen thermal baths (along with half of Banos) to sooth our aching limbs. A few sequences of ice-cold waterfall water followed by volcanic hot water and our muscles were better, or at least numb to pain. After another trip to the veg market, resulting in bags of goodness for a few dollars, cooked up a tasty veg stir fry.
