We spent a wonderful weekend in the beautiful Intag Valley. Before we arrived in Intag we of course stopped in Otavalo to visit the largest textile market in Ecuador. Once we arrived in Intag and filled up on a delicious lunch, we made our way to a beautiful waterfall, where we swam under the falls and splashed in the river. After cooling off, and as the sun began to set, we made our way to the hot springs to warm up. From the natural minerals in the water, the quality time together disconnected from devices, and the rushing sound of the river, we slept so soundly.
Waking up Sunday feeling refreshed, we made our way to Cafe Soledad where we learned all about the process of growing and producing coffee, but even more than that we learned about responsible consumerism, ethical food production, and our own relationship to the changing climate. It was an inspirational experience that ended with a delicious lunch! Late that afternoon we made our way back to our home in Chilcapamba feeling energized, refreshed, and excited for the final days ahead.
