I kept track of the places I went, what we bought, and how much I spent. I hope I did a good job of including names of places we traveled to, but if you have any more questions comment below and I'll answer. I hope this video showcases the beauty of Ecuador and gives you an idea of how much I paid for items while I was there!

I have two tips for eating in Ecuador.
1. At lunchtime if you see a restaurant that says almuerzos that means you're getting soup, rice with meat (rarely it will be something else like spaghetti) and salad, juice and some places have dessert as well. Not all these places are created equal, if it looks busy and/or there are taxis parked outside, that'll be a good spot for lunch. Rarely you'll find almuerzos for over $5.
2. Seafood restaurants give you gigantic portions. If there's a dish on the menu that you see for $6 or more that's probably enough food for two hungry/hangry grown ups.

That’s a lot for traveling on the cheap, splitting costs. You had a cheap flight, so you don’t check bags and cheat the carry on system with an oversized “personal bag”. My flights with a check bag and an hour or less in Panama City is around $800. I spent three nights in Otavalo in relative luxury with my wife for a total of $800. This includes the taxi from the airport to Puerto Lago, frequent trips to the town, other locations, dinners with drinks at various places. Another $300 for flying from Guayaquil. The flights and the hotel were prepaid, so I did not pay anything except the balance of $200. Returning to Guayaquil, I stayed another two nights in a luxury apartment overlooking the river for two nights: $225. My ten days of travel in ease and mostly luxury, when counting all prepaid costs, was $2000. Ecuador is cheap without having to be cheap. I plan to stay in Mindo in the Cloud Forest resort on the next trip. I don’t feel experiences are lost by staying in nice accommodations and not cooking my food. I average about $100/day in planning and always fall short of that mark. I met awesome people.

Nice video! I'm glad that you enjoyed your visit to my beloved country. You should come back to know much more about Quito, Cuenca, the beaches, the jungle, etc. How did you decide to come to Ecuador?

[amstr]

Do you mind sharing what your company you used to go to Mindo? I will be there next month and I am looking for the exact same activities.

That $1000 dodnt include air..what was the xost of that?

[hollisvlogs]

love these! i just did a spend in a week too

New York to Bogotá should be no more than $300, nor like $200 (if Quito is included than $300 is more normal but definitely not over $600).

If you eat outside of “fancy” restaurants you can eat a meal for $5-$10 per person easily.

For a similar Airbnb in Quito, if you book ahead a bit you should definitely be able to book for $30 give or take a few dollars.

I just found your video. Wasnt thinking about writting but when I heard how much you paid for the ride to the volcano it surprised me a lot (really, cant believe it). I think you all paid way too much ($114 per person?) I googled it and it says is an hour ride. That tixe driver was abusive to all of you, I thought it was $114 for all the ride. An aunt, who once needed to go to Guayaquil from my city (a 3 hrs drive) and didnt want to go by bus, paid a tixe driver $100 - $120. They dont charge by the amount of ppl they carry with them but by the distance and time it takes. If it had been $114 for all four of you it would have been ok. At least you all got to enjoyed my country. ☺

love this video!! what do you use for editing?? i loved the transitions and cute graphics

[jamielivingston]

Taxi was OVER S400???? My English speaking tour guide charges $100 a day with his taxi. He does add $ for gas...

[FallofftheMap]

Great editing and vibe, but watch out for camera work that pans back and forth too quickly. Hold that camera steady and pan back and forth very slowly. Also, that taxi to Cotopaxi overcharged you. $114 per person is crazy. You could hire a driver for an entire day for about that much. There’s 4 of you, right? So $114 per person means it was $456? That’s a monthly salary in Ecuador.
