Traveling from Quito at 9400 feet up to 16,000 ft ( climbing part way up the Cotopaxi Volcano ) , back down to Cuenca at about 8300 ft and finally hit sea tier on the coast in Esmerelda , I saw some fascinating plant combination . alas , I do n’t know many of their names , but despite my lack of knowledge , I wanted to partake in some exposure with you .

“ The cool humidness and temperate temperatures at the higher elevations in this equatorial body politic remain a comfortable 70 - 75 point year - pear-shaped . dark clip temp require a fire in your way ( not many hotel were ignite , but those that were n’t boasted all right fireplaces).”Gorgeous , Kileian ! !
