  • I am still alive. So the "Hey I haven´t heard from you in awhile" e-mails have started to arrive so I figure I should do a quick check-in.

Our itinerary was to include visiting islands the islands Posted by Traveldive in Travel & Dive...Repeat As Needed... | Oct 30, 2009
  • Cali es Cali Cali es Cali The Lonely Planet (LP) on a shoestring gives Cali a bad rap. Sure it doesn´t have the “typical” tourist attrations to lure hoards of tourists in and when they do come they tend to stay in the tacky Posted by lramos1 in Las Adventuras de Laurita y Adan | Oct 27, 2009
  • Three Days in Paradise: Vilcabamba We caught a flight from Quito to Loja, in southern Ecuador, saving us 15 or 20 hours of road travel. From there we were unsure of whether to go straight to the Peruvian border, another 6 or 8 Posted by jonshapiro in Vagabonding at 60 | Oct 24, 2009
  • Trip to South America My trip to Ecuador. Today I am going to Ecuador in South America. I leave Denver today at 12:30 p.m. I am really excited to explore Ecuador. I landed in Ecuador at 6:45 p.m. As soon as I landed I Posted by mestas92 in My Adventure | Oct 23, 2009
  • Cotopaxi To Canoa We returned to Quito to meet our older daughter, 26, and her boyfriend, who were flying in for 10 days from New York. By the time she arrived, the weather had turned cold and rainy, and was the same Posted by jonshapiro in Vagabonding at 60 | Oct 20, 2009
  • Galapagos Located about 600 miles off the coast, for many years the Enchanted Islands were a total backwater, ignored by everyone, including Ecuador, which annexed them shortly before Darwin visited in 1832. The only practical way to see them on Posted by jonshapiro in Vagabonding at 60 | Oct 16, 2009
  • End of the Jungle My last days in the jungle were probably the most fruitful, but also the most smelly. With Pablo (the volunteer coordinator) gone we decided that that it was time to try and sort out some of the problems with Posted by CosTravel in Cos has gone travelling | Oct 15, 2009
  • Quito and Vulcan Pichincha We arrived in Quito in the evening, and were picked up by the folks at our hotel, L'Auberge Inn. Owned by a couple of French expats, it is located midway between the old and new parts Posted by jonshapiro in Vagabonding at 60 | Oct 11, 2009
  • Introduction – Who Blogs? Blogging isn’t for me. Blogging is for: a) Smart people who know a significant amount about a particular issue and want to share their opinion b) Funny people with stories that other people read when they should be working c) Weird people that thin Posted by acermak in Amanda´s Great South American Adventure | Oct 9, 2009
  • If it ain´t broke, don´t fix it Well I survived canyoning on Friday. I can´t say that I exactly enjoyed all of it, but I am very proud of myself for repelling down 5 waterfalls, including one at 100´. It was also an incredibly gorgeous day Posted by jtrundy in Feet on the ground | Head in the sky | Oct 7, 2009
  • Cuenca and Vilcambamba Southern Ecuador Surprise kids, you’re not going to believe this but we have a long bus ride ahead of us. Yes, I know you’re jumping for joy at the prospect of spending all day bouncing around and listening to traditional Ecuadorian music Posted by sostrander in 3 Down Below | Oct 5, 2009
  • In the jungle, the mighty jungle Our jungle tour begins with a long bumpy ride but it's worth it. Our first stop is an amazing monkey refuge where spider and chorongo monkeys greet us by taking our hands or gently climbing on our backs. These Posted by sostrander in 3 Down Below | Oct 4, 2009
  • Quick slip into Quito and soaking up Banos in Ecuador It’s off to Quito, the capital, for two nights only. I really don’t feel like being in a city but as we gain in altitude Ariel and I agree that her easily bloodied nose problem will become worst so we Posted by sostrander in 3 Down Below | Oct 3, 2009
  • Stuck in Baños Frequently updating this blog might be less frequent than I initially thought. I am still in Baños and can´t really leave - both literally and figuratively. Literally there is a bus strike and road blocks. I don´t quite understand what´s Posted by jtrundy in Feet on the ground | Head in the sky | Oct 1, 2009

  • Welcome to Ecuador The Ecuador border was equally calm and efficient and we caught a colectivo for the border town of Tulcan and one quick night only. Next day we were off to Otovalo the great South American market town and we stayed Posted by sostrander in 3 Down Below | Sep 29, 2009
  • Manatee Amazon Explorer - Day 4 3 September Wake up call: 6.00am Rain posed a fairly big problem this morning. We were supposed to visit the parrot clay lick but the parrots don’t like licking clay in the rain therefore, nothing to see. Now for those Posted by echo75 in Wanderlust | Sep 20, 2009
  • Manatee Amazon Explorer - Day 3 2 September Wake up call: 5.15am Breakfast: 5.45am Due to an unfortunately strong migraine it was a difficult start to what should have been a magical morning. Drifting in our canoe soundlessly through the misty lake, all manner of birds fl Posted by echo75 in Wanderlust | Sep 20, 2009
  • Manatee Amazon Explorer - Day 2 1 September Wake Up Call: 6.00am Breakfast: 6.30am This is not a leisure cruise - pleasure yes but nature waits for no one and the best chances to see life in the rainforest is ea Posted by echo75 in Wanderlust | Sep 20, 2009
  • El Oriente - Manatee Amazon Explorer - Day 1 31 August We met our tour guide, boat manager and fellow travellers at Quito domestic airport for the bumpy flight to Coca. The Manatee Amazon Explorer can provide accommodation for 30 people but in our case, there were only 8 Posted by echo75 in Wanderlust | Sep 20, 2009
  • Tiestos Cafe and Restaurant 25 August Not long after Phil’s birthday we discovered a restaurant that would have made an excellent venue to celebrate his special day: Tiestos Café and Restaurant. Strolling past Calle Juan Jaramillo, we glanced at a somewhat ordinary door Posted by echo75 in Wanderlust | Sep 20, 2009
  • Phil's Birthday 22 August The beauty of dedicated streets selling goods of a similar type was that on the rainy morning of Phil’s 40th birthday I was able to slip out into town as he slept and onto ’party supply’ street. How Posted by echo75 in Wanderlust | Sep 20, 2009
  • Cuenca 18-28 August Cuenca is the third biggest city in Ecuador and its 417,000 inhabitants enjoy a similar spring-like climate to Quito (although Cuencanos would say their weather is more consistent than their Northern neighbours). Like Quito, Cuenca Posted by echo75 in Wanderlust | Sep 20, 2009
  • Flying to Cuenca Officially, we’re in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Last night Phil went to bed with his regular face but woke up this morning with someone else’s. It is possible, in fact, that there is a bemused pug wandering the Posted by echo75 in Wanderlust | Sep 20, 2009
