The vast variety of animals and flora in this nation is insane! I never even made it to the Amazon and I was shocked! It’s one of my most favorite trips ever! Most of my trip was in the mountains and we fought altitude by doing the trip up to the top in the gondola and had no issues! Recommend Ecuador to anyone! And Baño!

I'm most likely never going to go to Ecuador. But theres something about wolters world thats so easy and comforting watch which is such a great relief when i'm stressed with work

Ecuador is rainforests, beaches, hot springs, mountains and volcanos, islands, animal life, culture, handicrafts and guinea pigs 🙂I visited in 1997: Quito, Cuenca, Guayaquil, Playas, Otavalo, Ambato, Misahualli, Incapirca, Riobamba, Ibarra, Cotacachi and Cotopaxi,

We just got back from Ecuador last week and I used a ton of these videos to prep for our trip. The only thing I disagree with is the driving! We did a loop from Quito-> and I’m so glad we rented the car. The driving was not nearly as scary as various forums led me to believe, though it’s also not like US driving. Though we opted not to drive into the historic center of Quito just to avoid any issues with big traffic areas.

being on a birding trip, we hired a bird expert and driver to see some fabulous birds in lots of places, when we woke the first morning, we were in the middle of nowhere with an 8 year old, but she had the time of her life the driver kept her amused playing games, one day we did some high wire 'zip lines and we insisted our driver and guide came with us, we paid their food and insisted they were part of our family group. my husband would not have identified a 10th of what he saw, our guide Gabriel was a walking encyclopaedia and our driver Johnny, adored our daughter so much, he got his friend, a local horse owner to turn up with 3 horses so my daughter could go horse riding, we went too, wow what an experience

We loved this video! My husband and I moved to Ecuador 3 years ago and this video is spot on! Great advice!

There are cities and even towns with safe chlorinated water in Ecuador. However if water is shut off for repairs it is a really good idea to boil your water. I also eat salads and street food throughout Latin America without issues. I typically spend six months a year traveling Latin America and especially South America and Ecuador. I may have some immunity built up compared to average tourists.

Im going on a rain forrest adventure in December. I was told to expect wet, mud, mosquitos, and humidity. I can't wait!!!

[MrOoofah]

Yes re Cuenca.
A beautiful colonial city. Great architecture. No crowds.
Go there and just relax.

i wish we had seen this before we went, we stayed in cloud forest for a week, i packed us for Ecuator temps, we lived in the single jumper we all had with us for the whole week, because it was cool and wet most of the time. we had a great time, but on 1st or 2nd day i washed out some underware, i brought it home and it was as wet as the day i washed it. we saw some amazing birds, wildlife but we came home and our feet looked like we had stood in the bath too long lol. Cash machines only in the airport. great videos. going to watch others of places weve been and i let you know if i agree haha or anything else to add

[rioscueva]

Thank you Sir!
Ecuador is thankful for your support!

Thanks for the tips, Mark. Very insightful.

I learned that lower SPF’s don’t mean anything the closer you get to the equator. I normally use a 30 in Florida. Take it to 50 or above if you’re much further south. I was a lobster after visited Aruba & Curaçao on our cruise. And yes, sunblock bought there is really expensive. Think we paid $28 for a bottle of it in Aruba.
