Post 25: Plan Ecuador

Fellow adventurers,

I am sitting in J's kitchen on what is a very warm summer evening here in Philadelphia, I expect our next leg of the journey, Ecuador, to be very similar. We will be arriving in Ecuador via a flight from Bogota. Our first stop will be the capital city of Quito where we will be spending 5 or so days exploring the region. We have heard of traveling by train through the central area of the country, to the cities of Riobamba and Cuenca. We will have a few days time after Quito to explore those areas before heading to Guayaquil for our departure to Lima, Peru.

Luckily, Ecuador will be very cheap. I have read that many hotels are between 5 to 10 dollars. The nation has used the US dollar in its recent history, so that will help also. I have heard excellent things about Quito and Cuenca and look forward to seeing them both.

More after the break, and detailed updates to come:
