My first travel to Ecuador. It was so amazing, that i decided to go back to learn spanish...(See Blog Ecuador 2007). I was travelling with a group of 16 swiss people...and i was definitely the youngest one...hahaha. it was a great time, but won't do it again in group!

I loved Ecuador and I am going back this winter!

Roundtrip to Ecuador!

A year spent exploring South East Asia, Australasia and my favouriter continent of South America

well, had my fuckin camera stolen or lost it....not sure which, and no i wasnt drunk or passed out.    Anyway, obviously still bitter about it. Took an overnight bus from quito to lago leaving quito at 10....bus ride was all downhill, couldnt sleep cuz I kept sliding down in my seat, got into lago about 4 in the morning and was able to stay on the bus and sleep til 715.  Went to the hotel to leave my stuff, grabbed some breakfast, walked around.   Not a whole lot...

Beyond the horrendous acting, nonsensical narrative (e.g. there are no guards at...

The adventure began on the beach of the River Napo near the Jatun Sacha station…. At eight in the morning… In a “canoa” with a sea faring Ecuadorian named Jonas. The boat trip lasted approximately 6 hours with a quick luncheon break in Coca, which was delightful. Our next destination…. Limoncocha…. A small village, which interestingly was previously a missionary town. The hostel where we stayed was in fact the missionary building… amazing. After a scrumptious dinner of chicken...

Beautiful country that can't be missed. Didn't even get to the coast but had a blast. Places Visited: Guayaquil, Cuenca, Riobamba, Banos, Quito, Otavalo

I know you´re skeptical about the term Ecuadorian Amazon. Prior to this trip, I too thought that the Amazon was in Brazil. Turns out half of the Amazon basin is in Brazil, and the other half is shared by Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, and Venezuela. Who knew. We booked our trip –- four days, three nights -- in Quito through a company called Neotropic Turis; it was a bit more expensive than the others, but it advertised its eco-friendliness. Among other things, this means that they didn�...
