This past weekend I went with my host family to visit my host grandma and where my host mom grew up. We drove two hours south of Quito to visit Latacunga, which is located in the Cotopaxi Providence. Cotopaxi is an active volcano that last erupted two years ago, and is one of the world’s highest active volcanoes. Here is a picture of our view on the freeway on the way to Latacunga! In Latacunga I stayed at my host grandma’s house and toured the city at night. I got to try tamales at the house, which had a different texture than what I’ve had back at home. Latacunga is a smaller city, and it was nice to get a way from the big city for the weekend!
