Otavalo

Our next stop was Otavalo (.43c ea on the bus from Ibarra), we had organised a couchsurf there or so we thought but in the end it didn't pan out and we had to look for a place to stay. We don't bother to go to the places listed in the Lonely Planet ... Read more >

Ecuador - part 1

After a long delay at Cusco airport and an interminable ten hour wait at Lima airport, we finally boarded our flight to Quito, Ecuador. Unfortunately our arranged pick-up wasn´t there, which we weren´t too thrilled about seeing as it was 3am and Quito ... Read more >

Ibarra, Ecuador

Sun, 7 Jun 2009 | By nomad_kiwis | Views [1800]

We were dropped off by the bus on the outskirts of Ibarra and weren't very impressed with the look of the place. Add to that finding a hostel that was ropey to say the least and asking a lot more than we wanted to pay, we were wondering if it was a ... Read more >

We are in Ecuador, leaving tomorrow for Columbia.  Since I wrote last we have been to Machu Picchu, flown over the Nasca lines, popped into Lima and hopped on a plane to Quito.  Here in Ecuador we have been to The Galapagos and the Amazon jungle. Here ... Read more >

Un bache en el camino

Tue, 26 May 2009 | By kaplan | Views [653]

Creo que Cuenca ya se acabó. El museo del Banco Central no esta mal. Lindos juguetes y la parte antropológica resulta interesante. Pero no acabo de encontrale sentido a esta identidad nacional que lo inunda todo. Por todas partes leo "Ecuador ... Read more >

Visto que Cuenca no tien mucho que ver, principalmente si vienes de Perú, una tardecita soleada me decido a acercarme a Sigsig, ese pueblo cuyo nombre parece que está escrito pa'tras (como Chordeleg, que está al lado), donde me han dicho que hay un ... Read more >

Un pedazo de Castilla en el ecuador

Después de llegar sumamente cansado, dejar mis cosas en "La Perla Cuencana" (el gentilicio aqui es cuencano, no conquense) y salir a cenar algo, me derrumbé en la cama y he amanecido hoy con un día gris y desapacible. Aún así, me decido a dar ... Read more >
