It was 5:30am, when I woke up. I was careful to make not too much noise, since Jerry was still sleeping. Anyway, I woke him up, to say goodbye. Hope our paths cross again soon. We had a great time hanging out together. Yesterday, I asked the guy at the front desk to help me asking for a cab since I…

Well I´m actually writing this in Peru after the event - but I just wanted to place this entry in my favourite destination in Ecuador whilst covering those places, both rewarding and disappointing, that I haven´t yet written about...

So here I am. I´m just over a week into my trip and still finding it hard to believe that I actually got it together to do this. But so far its been worth the effort and hassle of organising, moving out etc. What can I say, I´m loving it!!Made my way over without a hitch, apart from arrivin…

Danger is all relative and every place has its dangers. Colombia has the FARC and kidnappings as part of its ongoing civil conflict, Quito has its muggings and petty crime, and Banos has a more natural danger, its volcano. Located 7km from the crater of Tungurahua, which erupted two …

This is one amazing place !!!! On every side of the town is a mountain it´s incredible and the town is really friendly too.
The trip down from Quito is immense, you´re balanced on a tiny thin road with 100 foot drops on one side and sheer walls of rock on the other....sheer most f the time …

I took 4 hour bus from Quito to Banos for about half of the cost of a pint from Melrose. This is a beautiful town in a small valley surrounded by steep forested mountains and volcanoes. It is most famous for it´s hot baths but locals from other town come here to party on the…

I have to say it - my first impression of Banos wasnt great - it wasnt what I was expecting. Sure, the town has the most picture perfect setting with mountain hemming it in from all sides. But arriving in Banos itself, you come into a concrete mass of unfinished buildings (I hear its a …

So, day two in the jungle. There were huge spiders everywhere. For some reason, I wasn´t scared. I think the difference was being out in nature, versus feeling clean and safe in a home and seeing a big F-ing spider out of the corner of your eye. But interesting to think about how safe overall I fe…

It´s weekend again and time to relax a bit. Perfect time to go to Baños that had been recommended by several travellers. It immediately hits you as a place you´ll be sad to leave. Just 12000 residents sitting in a lush valley undernreath cascading waterfalls, 1000m below betwee…

I moved south on my own on Tuesday because unfortunately Tara was sick. Instead of going to meet her friends who i didn´t know I decided to head to Latacunga, near the Quilotoa circuit. It was another 2 hour journey and I arrived in a very small town by comparison to Quito. …

We spent Tuesday in the Amazon rainforest.
We canoes out to a wildlife sanctuary, where we were greeted by playful squirrel
monkeys and rehabilitated woolly monkeys and Capuchin monkeys. Capuchin monkeys
are meant to be the most intelligent of the New World
monkeys, and are know to rub their fu…

After such
a physical day with the bikes we decided that the next day we definitely
deserved to be motorized, so the 6 of us rented ATVs for a few hours to explore
the local volcano. The cuadernos were
simple and slow, with no gear switching possible, but were certainly fun to maneuver
a…
