A lovely little sleepy village.
We also took a horse ride (Stefan, Linda and I) up to the near by national park (can't remeber the name of it). 7 hours on a horse in the sun was pretty hard work but not as hard as if we had walked!
Also swam in the customary waterfall!

What`s the difference between a people smuggling operation and heading from Peru to Ecuador along a little used border crossing? Not a lot, as it turned out.

Deciding to spend time in Chachapoyas had been fun, and well worth the effort but posed a slight problem when it came to the border crossing. There are only three land crossings with...

So we have finally made it into Ecuador although it seems like we have barely been in Peru. We have traded in the coast for something a little more like home minus the snow. First a bit about our boarder crossing. First you get off of you collectivo bus, imagine a cab that only went to where you wanted once every seat was full, and tried to fill...

From an expat site in Cuenca...

Hi group,Our discussions about culture inspired me to write the following quiz -- hope you get some humor out of it! As you can see, I think both American and Ecuadorian culture have their quirks ...Best to all,Patricia in Guayaquil Are you an American or an Ecuadorian ?...

Getting the UPS delivery took quite some effort. The package was sent from New Hampshire and contained the needed drive belt for the Buell which had broken climbing the mountains going out of Zamora and I was tracking its progress every day. It took two days to get to Quito Ecuador and then it took a week to get from Quito Ecuador to Zamora, whe...

Vilcabamba is in South East Ecuador in a valley lying below the Cloud Forests of Podocarpus National Park, supposedly full of tropical birds, butterflies and wild orchids (not to be confused with the Vilcabamba in Peru!). We decided to stay a few kilometers out of town to make the experience a little more ‘authentic’. The Vilcabamba ...

My last day in Banños was relaxing and also full of exercise. After spending a lot of time on the internet in the morning I came back to the hostel and Verena was ready to go on a hike. We decided to walk up to the virgin statue that overlooks Baños. Little did we realize that is was going to be about 700 steps to get there! It was tough, but wi...

At Vilcabamba, we stayed at an amazing place.. a resort for backpackers called Izhcayluma.
Its a resort set on a hill overlooking the valley with amazing views from the restaurant, a nice mellow bar, a pool, free buffet breakfast and upon check in, they give you a book of hiking trails that they´ve mapped out and marked throughout the valley ...

It is raining. It has been raining all afternoon. All the friends that I have met in the last few days have headed off to Loja. I have the whole evening stretching in front of me and am staying in a really boring hostel with nothing to do because all the cool fun ones, which I am sure are full of cool fun people having fun are fully booked up. S...
