Nous sommes arrivés dans la capitale du pays très tôt en matinée, après de longues heures d'autobus. L'Equateur semble être un pays de contrastes... dès le premier abord !
Des visages d'indigènes, de meztizos, des peaux claires, des peaux noires, des constructions coloniales mixées avec des immeubles ultra modernes (ultra bétonnés), des …

Today we got into Quito. We touched down and at the end of the runway we saw a plane that had over shot the runway and was now a little ways down a hill...welcome to Ecuador! We are staying at the secret garden. It´s really cute and the view is amazing. It was a nice and sunny day and we got to walk around in t-shirts. We went to am amazing church …

Quito Living!

Hola from Quito, Ecuador! I am staying in the area of Quito known as "the old town." Brightly painted buildings line the old town's narrow streets- churches, chapels and monasteries abound throughout. During the day the noise and activity is tremendous as the streets are full of constant commotion- Street vendors can be heard from blocks away as …

So I figured out how to sort the pictures so that they show up in the correct order... but as I said before... this little girl is much too LAZY to do much... so sorting, correcting and redoing the prior pics is TOTALLY OUT OF THE QUESTION! :) Anywho... here are some more pictures. Just a quick note: I went to two amazing art museums today- Oswaldo …

    Stay at Hostal Chicago instead!

    Secret Garden rooms were cramped and overpriced, staff were unfriendly. Just down the road is the lovely Hostal Chicago: rooms are nicer, cheaper and staff are friendlier. And the rooftop terrace is just as good as Secret Garden!

    Nice clean hostel, but cold water, no locks on rooms (but lockers provided). Nice bunch of people travelling through.

    GREAT FOOD!

    The food is fabulous, but the shower facilities are lacking, for the amount of people especially! Only 3 showers! Like most places in Ecuador, it is hot one minute then cold, if you get hot! The price is high, but the best in the area and the guest house itself is really cosy.. I would have stayed longer if I had more time.

    Reasonably pricesd and a great atmosphere. Great for organsing trips with other hikers and booking in to Secret Garden Cotopaxi, which is even better.

    This place is lively and surely attracts the younger party crowd. It´s a bit more expensive than the average hostel, but there are plenty of folks around to swap travel stories!

    Although not the cheapest accommodations, this hostel has a great breakfast and an amazing rooftop view. The rooms were clean and the showers were hot. We were able to drop off our luggage and hang out all day before catching a night bus to Coca.

    A fantastic hostel. A real rabbit warren of corridors and rooms in a beautiful historic building in the Old Town. The rooms are simple but clean with numerous options. The facilities are plentiful and clean. Airport pickups are easily arranged by them and a decent price. The tour operator they have in house is fantastic and does so much work to suit your budget and needs. A very well priced option that I would definitely recommend!

    The staff were very friendly and helpful and also took us out on the town which was a bonus. The rooms were very clean and the beds very comfortable. Lots of tour info was available and a cheap shuttle to Cotopaxi was also on offer. The sister hostel was just fantastic. All food and bike hire included makes the price very reasonable and the treks and views on offer are brilliant.

    Nice location with great roof terrace. Staff a bit zoned out at times - mainly on food and board deals. Owners re-located to cotapaxi.
