Quito 🇪🇨

After our trip to the Amazon we headed back on the bus to Quito, not knowing what had happened while we were in the middle of the rainforest 😂
The roads has been blocked into the city so we took a de-tour up a mud slide and hours later ended up back at the secret garden hostel. Here they told us about the riots that had started due to the indigenous groups being unhappy about the current inflation in the country and the government not taking any notice, so they all decided to group together and riot in Quito, where the president and parliament buildings are. The first couple of days we could still go out and explore in Quito, the roads were blocked to everywhere else so we couldn’t travel the country but we still had the opportunity to go on a walking and food tour and explore the city (& eat the most incredible sandwiches.) A few days in, the riots got a bit more serious so the police told us to go back to our hostel and stay there, so for a couple of days we got drunk on Cuba Libres in Secret Garden bar and watched Gavin and Stacey until we finally decided to book flights to Peru.
There’s still lots of places I want to explore in Ecuador when I can get back there 💛💛Les mer
