The capital of Ecuador lies 2.800 meter above sea level and has 3 mio inhabitants. It has many churches and we visited the Basilica del Voto Nacional where you can climb to the top of the towers. Nothing is really seen from the riots couple of weeks ago. The hostels provides an amazing view over the Old Town of Quito.Read more

From Quito we took a cable car that brings you to almost 4.000m and then the 2-3 hours hike up to the Volcano brings you to 4.696m. Its a very nice hike with amazing view over Quito and you feel the thin air. Sometimes we had to climb a bit but it was very safe and at the top kind of cold.Read more

Tungurahua
December 2, 2019 in Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
We did a two days hike to the Tungurahua Volcano. It's an active Volcano with 5.023m. The first day we went to the Refugio which is located at 3.800m. The Refugio didn't had any electricity so it was a very cold night but with playing UNO and drinking Aguardiente we warmed ourselves a little bit. The next day we got up at 4 am and started the tour up to tue Volcano during the night with flashlights. We saw an amazing sunrise and had stunning views the more up we came. Its very steep and difficult to walk on the volcanic ground. After 4.700 I had to turn as it felt a bit too dangerous for me. Anyway it was an amazing adventure again.Read more

Came from Mancora by a very comfortable nightbus after 10 hours to Trujillo. Next to it there is Huanchaco where we stayed. A little Surf town next to the beach. We visited both cities and also Chan Chan. This was in 1300 the biggest city of Sout America from the Chimu with at his peak between 60.000 to 100.000 people living there. The Inkan military couldn't take it so they moved a river that ran through the city and basically dried them out and the Inkas could take the city.Read more

On the first day we started our Tour from Iquitos and drove 1,5 hours to Nauta. From Nauta we took a boat and after 2 hours we reached our Amazonas Lodge where we would stay the next 3 days. The lodge was quite comfortable and the food was good once you get used to all the animals and noises around you.

After dinner we went to a boat tour to explore the rivers. We fed monkeys, saw pink and grey dolphins and when the night with the sunset came we found a baby caiman. Also after the sunset the attack of the mosquitos started.Read more

On the second day we woke up at 5 to see the sunrise but it was cloudy. After that we saw huge lily pads. Then we had breakfast and afterwards we had a walk through the Jungle. We got attacked by so many mosquitos this was insane. During walking we had the water till our hips that was quite fun and adventorous.

Then in the Lodge we found two tarantulas and the guide placed one on my hand. In the afternoon we went fishing and I caught two piranias and one catfish. Then we got catched by a heavy amazonas rain. For dinner we had our catch of the day and it was delicious.

After the dinner we had a short nightwalk in the where we saw some huge frogs.Read more
