Southern Ecuador is very pleasant. Stunning mountains and steep valleys. Very green. We spend time in the quaint town of Vilcabamba and the cities of Loja and Cuenca. Not surprisingly, this area is very popular with Western Expats. Vilcabamba has a lovely square and over-supply of cafes, Loja has some beautiful and unique town squares, and Cuenca has more churches per capital than anywhere else we’ve been to. Fun fact, Cuenca is the “home” of the Panama hat.Read more
TravelerLooks very pretty. And the price of a Panama Hat in AUD is?
