bikamonki, que tal? Thanks for your feedback. I'm the founder and while I'm American, I moved to Latin America when I was four. I spent my entire childhood and early teenage years in the region, including Ecuador. I've also spent six years of my adult life in Latin America as well. I chose Cotopaxi because I lived in Quito and would often go camping at Cotopaxi with my dad. Additionally, I went to school at Academia Cotopaxi. The name has always had special meaning to me. Additionally, I saw llamas for the first time when I was at Cotopaxi. I've since lived in Peru and Bolivia and have seen thousands of llamas in the wild. I feel the llama is a perfect representation of our brand: rugged, but kind. ¡Viva Ecuador!
