    Before going to Baños Levin got ill again and he decided to stay more nights in Riobamba.
    So just two of us, we hitchhiked to Baños. It one of the most turistic places in Ecuador but the place has a lot to offer. First night we were camping by nice river and in the morning we went to explore the waterfalls. I also went for the zip line, which was great experience.
    Next day we borrowed a bicycles and we went for a 65km tour from Baños to Puyo. The way was following many waterfalls, the most beautiful for us was Pailon del diablo.

  • Chimborazo

    2 Nisan 2023, Ekvador ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C

    Next morning we took a bus going to entrance to the national park. From there Simon and I hitchhike up to the 4800 m and Levin decided to walk.
    In the first refugio we met nice travels, a girl from Czech republic and a guy from France.
    Later we hiked up very slowly to the second refugio, as it was quite exhausting, because of the hight altitude.
    On the way back we visited really nice kanyon and camped there for a night.

  • Montañita

    28 Mart 2023, Ekvador ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    Next place Montañita, was really party town, and we didn't like it so much there. The beach was very busy and it was also quite pricey there.
    One night we slept in the hostel and the next day on the beach. We also went for surfing and enjoy the small waves compare to waves in Palomino.Okumaya devam et

  • Salango Island

    26 Mart 2023, Ekvador ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Firstly we wanted to take a tour to Isla de la Plata but the guide convinced us to take a smaller tour to Salango Island.
    On the tour there were 20 people in total and it was very turistic.
    We could see some sea lions, blue footed booby and some other birds. But it was definitely not our style of traveling.Okumaya devam et

  • Manta

    24 Mart 2023, Ekvador ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    To Manta we arrived next day, as we didn't find any couchsurfing we decided to book the cheapest hostel. We also met Raphael, guy from Switzerland whom we met 6 month ago in Mexico. We also met his couchsurfer and we played some volleyball together. We didn't like Manta so much as it was really big city without any nice city centre, so we decided to head to Puerto Lopez next day.Okumaya devam et

    23 Mart 2023, Ekvador ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

    When we arrived to the Laguna and met with Levin, it was raining heavily. In the end we decided to take a bus, without knowing exactly where are we going and where we're gonna sleeping. Simon sat next to woman which started to talk to him and after a while of conversation she offered us to put a tent in from of her house. We also got to know the rest of her family and spend a calm night there.Okumaya devam et

  • Quito & arriving of Levin

    16 Mart 2023, Ekvador ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

    Quito is the highest capital city in the world (2850m) and you can definitely feel it on the temperature. We hat really nice couchsurfing with Gino, directly after arriving he took us to his cousin place to eat some yummi pizza, then we explore the city and in the evening Levin arrived. So since now we travel 3 of us.
    Next day we did some sightseeing in the historical centre and visit nice view points with some of his friends.

  • Otavalo & Cotacachi

    14 Mart 2023, Ekvador ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

    Our first couchsurfer in Ecuador - Hamilton made our stay really nice. Eventhough he was bit strick with some rule in his house we really enjoyed talking to him and playing with his dogs. He lived in a container tiny house, which was quite inspiring to see how simple can someone live without spending too much money for building a big house.
    In Otavalo we explored local market and I bought myself sweatshirt eventhough I don't have anymore space in my backpack.
    We found nice german bakery and ate very nice laugenwackle after being 6 months our of germany, it tasted really yummi.

  • Las Lajas & crossing the boarder

    13 Mart 2023, Kolombiya ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

    Long time again, we heard from someone that there is really nice church on the boarder with Ecuador and now came the time to see the church. We were really lucky that the guy which we hitchhiked had time and offer us to drive us and visit the place with us. It was very impressive how someone can build the church in the mountain. Close from there were also nice waterfall and wild river flowing under the bridge.
    Passing the boarder went nice ans easy and with few car we made our way to Cotacachi to our couchsurfer.

  • Crazy long way to Pasto

    12 Mart 2023, Kolombiya ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

    Eventhough the distance between Popayán to Pasto is 240km it took us 11 hours to get there. As the may round was closed because of some work on the way, we had to take way around, which was very mudy and passing not really safe places, as there were people growing coca. Luckily we met David and with him we got all the way safely to Pasto. There we had really nice couchsurfing experince with Diego. After such a long way it was amazing feeling to be laying in the bed.Okumaya devam et

  • Hiking in Los Nevados

    1 Mart 2023, Kolombiya ⋅ 🌧 10 °C

    One of the nicest hikes we did so far. Going almost without plan showed as very good option because we could just go with a flow and visit places which we liked. Paramillo Quindío was very similar to Mountain of seven colors in Peru, with the difference that we were the only people on the mountain which would never happend to you in Peru.
    We had few crisis on the way, befause of my tirenes and PMS syndrom :D but all the view were definitely worth the afford.

  • Salento

    27 Şubat 2023, Kolombiya ⋅ 🌧 22 °C

    In Salento we spend night before and after the hike. It's very cute town with a lot of turists but very cute shops and caffee places. First night we spend in the tent at the hill behind the town and then we continued for the hike. When we came from the hike we got fancy Airbnb and ate delicious lunch at very nice vegetarian restaurant.Okumaya devam et
