I arrived in Ecuador on November 9th and was met by my buddy Tim at the Quito airport. We spent the next 5+ weeks travelling throughout the country. We began the trip by heading in to a the village of Chugchilan, located up in a cloud forest. The weather was spotty with rain and a bit chilly but we still managed to get some hiking in, along with our first horse riding adventure into the sorrounding hillsides. From there we went to Banos which is a beautiful town lying at the base of an active volcano. Banos was a relaxing town with wonderful food and friendly people. We rode horses again, rented bikes, visited the local zoo (animal prison), and hiked a bit more. We continued south visiting the city of Cuenca then on down to the town of longevity, Vilcambaba. Finally we flew to the Guyaquil and buss-ed it to the coastal surf-beach town, Montanita. We chilled in Montanita for 11 days enjoying the sun and beach. Lots of details left out....so check out some photos and perhaps I'll write more later....
