Ecuador Will BLOW YOUR MIND | Quito, Banos, Lake Quilotoa Travel Vlog

Ecuador needs to be at the TOP of your list of must visit places in the world! There is so much to do and see in Ecuador, and we were able to squeeze quite a bit into our 3 days here. We are definitely planning a trip back to this amazing country to explore even more of it!

Ecuador had great local public transportation that was very inexpensive and comfortable. We ventured all over the country from the capital city Quito walking along the equator at the Middle of the World (Mitad del Mundo), hiking around Lake Quilotoa which is a turquoise volcanic crater lake, swinging off the edge of the world at Casa del Arbol, to admiring the colorfully lit up waterfall Paillon del Diablo (Cascada el Pailon) in Banos.

Ecuador is the first country in South America that we have visited together and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We had the best 3 days in Ecuador and we plan to come back to the country and spend much more time, especially since it is a very budget friendly destination!

Watch this video to see how we spent 3 days in Ecuador for $249/pp. Prices can of course vary depending on dates, and the number of people you travel with. This is just to give you an idea!

Ecuador is geographically small, compared to its neighboring countries, but it is very rich in biodiversity, it is ranked number 3 worldwide, it has many volcanoes, and it boasts a super volcano whose power is equivalent to Yellowstone, called a chalupas volcano, It has cities Like Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, which are very organized cities, the Galapagos Islands are a friendly paradise. Good video

Beautiful couple. Thanks for showing us Ecuador. So much more than I thought.

Very nice. I am researching what to do in Ecuador. We will spend six months living there in 2023. Quito will be first stop for about four days, so this gives a great little itinerary. I appreciate the focus on frugality while living well.
