  • Vilcabamba to Huaraz Vilcabamba My last stop in Ecuador was Vilcabamba, close to the border with Peru in the south. The inhabitants of the town and surrounding valley have a reputation for longevity. Strange then that in addition to 'Vilcagua' brand bottled water, t Posted by hughw in Travels in South America | Aug 21, 2009
  • Baños and Cuenca Baños The Guayanas aside, Ecuador is the smallest country in South America, just a little larger than the United Kingdom. This means bus journeys are relatively short: my next stop, Baños, was less than 100 miles to the south of Quito. Posted by hughw in Travels in South America | Aug 18, 2009
  • Beauty and the Beast '"...the great flood-gates of the wonder-world swung open, and in the wild conceits that swayed me to my purpose, two and two there floated into my inmost soul..." -Herman Melville, Moby Dick' As my English professor would often recount Posted by lhamman1 in Travels with Hammy | Aug 14, 2009
  • The Enchanted Isles We had long wanted to go to the Galápagos Islands after watching many exciting documentaries about them on the TV. There are some weird and wonderful creatures that dwell on these volcanic islands that apparently lack a fear of humans. Posted by sarahnwill in Adventures In The Americas | Aug 13, 2009
  • The Quilotoa loop A couple of hours south by bus took me to Latacunga, back in Ecuador's picturesque Andean foothills. Latacunga Latacunga is the setting-off point for the so-called 'Quilotoa loop', which I'm beginning to think might be an invention of Lonely Posted by hughw in Travels in South America | Aug 9, 2009
  • La vida tipica en Ecuador '“Voy caminando por la vida, sin pausa pero sin prisa…” (Translation: I go walking through life, without pausing but without rushing…) –Melendi' This evening, as I rest my head on the soft, beach-themed pillow in my bedroom, I am a Posted by lhamman1 in Travels with Hammy | Aug 7, 2009
  • Quito Quito is Ecuador's capital, and at 2800m seems to have the same climate as Bogotá (2600m): slightly cold, despite being only 15 miles south of the equator. It's also no less hectic, the streets heaving with packed buses, minibuses, colectivo Posted by hughw in Travels in South America | Aug 6, 2009
  • Mindo, Baños, Quilotoa, Cotopaxi and the last of Ecuador Ok, ok, yes, this blog is well overdue, by a few months I'll have to admit. So, I've finally sat down to bash out some stories and upload some pics to fill in to all my loved ones what I've Posted by dancordner in South American Adventures | Jul 17, 2009
  • We've Arrived! “To bury the grape tendril in such a way that it shoots out new growth I recognize easily as a metaphor for the way life must change from time to time if we are to go forward in our thinking.” Posted by lhamman1 in Travels with Hammy | Aug 3, 2009
  • De Laatste Dagen Ecuador Jaja, mijn laatste dagen zijn aangebroken, woensdag vliegen we naar de zuiderburen (Peru). Mijn laatste dagen zijn helaas niet echt boeiend te noemen. Mijn dagen bestaan uit het verkleinen en catalogiseren van mijn stalen, hetgeen een saaie bedoening i Posted by oiio in Didier ziet de wereld | Aug 1, 2009

  • Puerto Lopez My latest stop on the travel trail took me to Puerto Lopez, Ecuador. I went there in search of a sleepy beach town and that is exactly what I found. A place where most people would go to Posted by KGreene in Wandering Abroad | Jul 26, 2009

  • Servicio Directivo A staple of South American travel is the long distance bus. Anywhere you want to go, there is always a bus waiting to take you. Some may be cleaner, or safer, or cooler than others, but they all Posted by KGreene in Wandering Abroad | Jul 20, 2009

  • An enjoyable visit to the cloud forest by: Tami We've just returned to Quito after spending a few enjoyable days in the small Ecuadorian town of Mindo.
