Another update from the Carpe home office - we've been in touch with the group and wanted to let you all know their plans over the next few days. The situation on the ground in Cuenca has been calm. While the group has been taking precautions, they haven't felt at all unsafe where they are. They are planning on doing some hiking on Friday in Cajas National Park, going rock climbing on Saturday morning, and then packing up and heading north on Saturday night. They have been in touch with numerous people in Quito and all our contacts there have confirmed that roads are open and safe. While the group will be passing through Quito on their way up to Otavalo, they will only be stopping there to switch buses. Our contacts have assured us that buses are still running on schedule and all the bus terminals are open. Know that the group is well and they are looking forward to moving up to Otavalo for the next couple weeks of volunteering and language school. Once they arrive and settle in to Otavalo, they will post a blog with their updates.
All the best,
