Simon: Having spent most of our cash on the island trip, we noticed a small sign on the bar at hotel Mandala that informed us that they did not accept any form of payment other than cash. Hmmm, that old chestnut eh, Ali? Not a problem, this just meant a brief one and quarter hour bus ride to the nearest town with an ATM. And back again. Naturall...

Simon: Arriving at the bus station we managed to purchase tickets to Santa Elena. Despite being promised (by way of a wink and a chuckle) by the ticket man that we were booked onto a 1st class coach, we were, I have to say, disappointed by the plastic seats and lack of air conditioning on the bus for our four hour journey in the 30 degree heat. ...

This morning a very early 40minute flight from Quito to Manta on the Pacific coast followed by a 3 hours drive via Montecristi(not worth the stop)to Puerto Lopez and the Mandala lodge.Time for a stroll along the beach and around the "town" before and candlelit dinner as there was no power.It came back on in time for Henry to win the game of Phas...

Following two weeks of intense Spanish Classes in Quito it was time to take a break and head to the coast of Ecuador, destination Puerto Lopez. The 11 hour busride through the night will remain an unforgettable experience, including a few scary moments. However, the ride was worth it as Puerto Lopez turned out to be a calm, relaxing, and beautif...

We saw our first ever whale.... out of season! - WOW!!!!!
We had a bit of a nightmare trip from Peru into Ecuador... we did the overnight bus, which meant crossing the border in the middle of the night (according to Lonely Planet, this particular border is the worst one in South America!) Well, it took 2 hours to cross the border... fun f...
Last Sunday we had ourselves an amazing little trip. Phil (who has turned into a walking rough guide), read up about this little Island a couple of hours north of Montanita, which is referred to as the poor manīs Galapagos. So we dragged our ***** out of bed at around 0700 to go and meet the transportation to the town an hour north of here call...

yesterday Puerto Cayo – Puerto lopez (40 kms)

The ride to Puerto Cayo from Manta was fairly non-descript. The road is new and therefore a perfect surface most of the way. Highway 15, wh...
We arrived in Guayaquil at 6.30 in the morning had some breakfast (tuned out the weird corn roll thingie wasnt such a good idea it though...) and hopped on the next bus to Puerto Lopez up the coast. 4 hours on a local bus and we got a good taste of Ecudorian culture - folk music on full blast, people hopping on and off the bus at random points o...

We arrived at Puerto Lopez early in the morning after taking a night bus from Quito. We found a hostel first, whose name I wish I could remember since it was great. It was $5 a person per person for a private room with a private bathroom, the place was clean, the mattresses were thick, and there was a hammock to lounge in. The only uniqu...
Well, the Andes are nice and all, but after a while, they get cold, so we ehaded for the coast. The Reina del Camin tout assured us it would be a ten hour ride to Puerto Lopez. In the end, it was thriteen. Par for the course in South America. We had considered the night bus option, but Lonely Planet warned of twisting roads, steep descents, reck...
