Vrijdagochtend zijn we om 5u opgestaan om de trein van Riobamba naar Alausi te kunnen nemen. Het was een verassing toen we de trein zagen, 't was meer een bus op treinsporen dan een trein... De rit ging dwars door het Andesgebergte, langs verschillende kleine dorpjes. We hebben dus de kans gekregen om de lokale bevolking van dichterbij te zien. ...

Bueno, ahora estoy en Huaraz, Peru...y como he tenido el blog super abandonado voy a hacer todo rapidito De Montañita volvimos donde Kahyda en Guayaquil y nos quedamos dos noches. Fuimos a jugar billar y a conocer la vida nocturna de la ciudad. La ultima noche le conocimos una pasta super rica. Luego de Guayaquil nos fuimos a Cuenca. Unas cinco ...

Rumours of hot Whitewater rafting instructors in Peru were ill-founded. In fact lies, all lies. We only saw one hot guy who could have qualified as a White water rafting instructor in our whole time in Peru. Nomes even disputes this claim, but she didn't see him - I did. However Ecuador..... well.... As dedicated students we felt it was appropri...

If yesterday I was wondering whether all these hours are worth it, than yes, I am glad I decided to come here after all, because not only the city itself is really beautiful and nice but landscapes all along the way here were just quite amazing....I cannot simply believe how beautiful this country is...mountains and canyons and rivers etc...I co...

Becca We arrived in Cuenca around midday, after taking 2 buses starting at 5AM that morning from Montanita. The hostel we picked from our book, El Cafecito, doubles as a hostel and a cafe. Kind of a weird arrangement as we came to realize later because our room was right next to all the cafe tables (we could spy on patrons from our window) .. an...

Day 7: So, as you can tell by the title of today, it wasn't our best day. The night before, we went to bed, excited to go on a day trip the next day to Cajas, which is a beautiful national park. Well, that didn't go according to plan. Mike got a fever over the night and was really not feeling well. We sadly cancelled the tour to Cajas and went b...

A couple of my cousins on my Mum's side of the family have been putting together a cookbook, full of favourite recipes submitted by family members. Though I couldn't think of a potluck favourite that I could contribute, and I'm certainly past the editors' deadline for submissions, I thought I'd send through a recipe for my favourite street snack...

Hey Folks Hope you are well after the silly season celebrations. Christmas and the New Year were a little different for me as you can imagine. Had a great time though all the same. Lucky to have a good group of friends in Cuenca two of whom had an apartment rented so we all went over there on Christmas day for filet mignon and some of the best s...

Arrived in Cuenca by air. Pretty hills surrounding the town. Stay at a beautiful hostel, Macando. Too late for most restaurants but find an excellent one on the main square. Try their mulled wine which is tasty. My plan is to hike & camp at Cajas Park, a mountain close by. I wake to rain and the forecast is the same all week. I decide to use...

Brazil had just won their second round match against Ghana, so our hopes of going to Rio to watch the final were still alive. Although it was only 10 days before the final we still had all of Ecuador to see, well part of it. So even though we had been having a great time in Mancora, we had to hit the road for Cuenca, Ecuadors third largest city....
