Hotel Costa del Sol Wyndham

We arrived on time and made it through customs and then baggage claim, and then all of the taxi stands and “curb side porters” who will try to “check you in!” Or tow your bag and then demand a tip, “only $5!” The hotel is pretty nice digs and a nice breakfast buffet. Really, a perfect spot if you have to land and then turn around a fly off the next morning to Cusco (Machu Picchu) or Guayaquil (Galapagos). It’s now clear that this trip will be a lot more moving than we realized! Being right across from the airport terminal (like the Burbank parking garage is across from the Burbank terminal), we hear some traffic noises. The traffic wrangler whistles sound like frog chirps! We will pass through this airport several times as we travel up to Machu Picchu through Cusco and then on to Guayaquil and the Galapagos and then back to our return flight to LAX.Read more
