Bahia de Caraquez Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Woke up from my fantastic sleep but still feeling pretty average, I´m so keen for NZ hygiene and normal food, I hope my stomach settles soon. We bummed around most of the day at my Aunties office. In the morning this guy came around selling freshly baked pasties, OMG I wish I could share them with you all, they are like the best thing ever inven...

Well this is a side trip, It was a good idea to rent an apartment and then take side trios to destinations north that we werent sure about and of course to scope the new terriitory out first. We went to Bahia de Caraquez, which is north of Manta and I must say maybe its something in the water but the women are exquisitly beautiful here! The city...

I am in a chipper mood today as I had my first non-official sick day where instead of not doing anything for no real reason other than that I am a Peace Corps Volunteer and tend to not do much for much of my time but also because my body decided to take on it's first legitimate non-food-poisoning sickness here in Ecuador, known where English is ...

I had a great birthday. Going away at 11 a.m. to Canoa to pick up a package from a fellow volunteer was enough reason to spend the day there and relax, for it was my birthday and I felt fully justified to buy myself a beer for an early seafood lunch. My 2-hour beach-nap that ensued on that satiated stomach felt like a 5-day siesta. All of my wor...

Hey dude- Sorry to hear about the pick. It happened to me on the trolley in Quito. How is your new site? How are things going in general? Wish you could´ve come for New Years. How was yours? What´d you do? Talk to you later dude, Ryan Ryan, Things here are pretty good. Scary good. I am acting competent every day hoping that someday it will come....

Before I knew it I was sitting in a plastic chair and passing on (not drinking) an alcoholic shot of whiskey every 3 minutes in celebration of the infant-daughters baptism. This was my EcuaChristmas Eve. Talk about feeling far away from home. My night would have ended at fellow volunteer Don Hagan's house that night when we ate with four ecuador...

Happy Holidays, my gift is an overdue explanation of how I ended up out of the jungle and on the Equatorial Pacific coast in the city of Bahia de Caraquez which I am settling into just fine. In the Peace Corps. it is common to have a ¨honey-moon¨ phase as you enter your site and get to know people, your surroundings, and get settled into a new h...

Right now I'm in Bahia, about an hour's bus and boat ride away from Canoa. Last night was Art Night at Planet Drum here in Bahia, which my Slovenian roommate Stasha refers to as 'a house full of Americans.' (It's just a few reforestation volunteers who invite their friends over once a week.) We made our own movie, Biancanieve y los siete enanito...

¿Have you ever seen a Corona Beer commercial? Well then, welcome to Canoa, Ecuador. But first, we had to earn our keeps. After few days of volunteering our services with Fundación Planet Drum doing reforestation, trail maintenance and such, we earned a little vacation. We met up with some of our Volunteer friends´ friends and hopped on a bus up ...
