Finally, the new Lonely Planet destination guide for Ecuador & the Galápagos Islands is out! I am pleased to learn that the editors have included two of my photos in the Color Highlights section that opens the book. These are the photos and captions that appear in the new edition.
Volcán Cotopaxi
The all-night climb to the summit of Vulcán Cotopaxi (p155) is rewarded with extraordinary views of the surrounding planes, the Sangay volcano puffing smoke plumes, and at least a dozen other peaks. When you peer down, you see a steaming black hole of a crater and get a strong whiff of sulphur.

Getting a Healing at Latacunga's Mamá Negra Festival
Nobody gets to just watch the Mamá Negra Festival. As soon as the huacos saw me they ran over and started chanting and pretending to poke me with deer antlers. It wasn't over until I got the full ritual, which involved spitting aguardiente liquor all over my body.
