Quito
23–29 mars 2024, Équateur ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
We ended up staying longer than expected because we needed to slow down a bit after all those Colombian buses. Our week in Quito provided the structure we've missed for a while now. Even the weather was predictable; sunny in the morning, stormy in the afternoon 🌩️. It was the perfect opportunity and place (our hostel was beautiful and we got a free room upgrade) to plan our future adventures in the Amazon rainforest and the Galapagos islands. Lots of people just pass through this capital, but we actually enjoyed its different neighborhoods: the beautiful old town, trendy La Floresta and hilly Guápulo (party Mariscal less so).En savoir plus

Cuyabeno
29 mars–2 avr. 2024, Équateur ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
The Ecuadorian Amazon is only reachable by organized tours but our 4-day trip to Cuyabeno Reserve was worth every penny! We went looking for animals by boat or on foot, during the day or during the night. The biodiversity we saw here is too immense to describe, but some of the more thrilling sights include the pink river dolphin, anaconda, tarantula, scorpion and 6 different species of monkeys.

🐊🐦🕷️🐬🦥🐒🦂🦇🐜🦋🐍

We also got to know some culinary and spiritual traditions of the Sionas, an indigenous group inhabiting these parts.En savoir plus

Galapagos - Isla Santa Cruz 🐢
3–7 avr. 2024, Équateur ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Being so close, knowing the already steep entrance fee is going to double this August and realizing the amount of tourists in Ecuador is lower than usual due to the current crisis, made the Galapagos irresistible. And we're so glad we decided to come here! It's crazy beautiful and wildlife is everywhere. You literally have to be careful you don't step on a iguana or a seal doesn't steal your seat. 🦎 🦭

Unfortunately, it's also super expensive so we have to be a bit creative. Instead of joining a boat tour to Tortuga Bay, we hiked and spotted baby hammerhead sharks 🦈 upon arrival. Instead of taking $50 taxis, we hitchhiked to see the giant tortoises 🐢 in the Highlands and mountainbiked to Cerro Mesa & Playa Garrapatero (biking while spotting tortoises & enjoying beautiful views, so no complaints!). And instead of eating $50 pizzas, we made delicious dinners in the kitchen of our hostel!En savoir plus

Galapagos - Isla Isabela 🐧
6–13 avr. 2024, Équateur ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Isabela is the largest and one of the youngest of the Galapagos islands. Being here felt like being in a Planet Earth episode. We were greeted by penguins & sea lions upon our arrival and had a view over a lagoon with pink flamingos from our hostel's terrace 🦩. Every morning, we went snorkelling at the nearby Concha Perla Lagoon, where we saw sea turtles, huge sting rays, sea lions, white tip reef sharks, colourful parrotfish, pufferfish, shrimp and a lot of cute penguins 🤿.

We also did a tour to Los Tuneles, where we snorkelled through lava tunnels surrounded by huge sea turtles. We spotted a seahorse and entered underwater caves full of white tip reef sharks. We took a little walk in this unique volcano landscape, where some blue footed boobies were doing their weird mating dance.En savoir plus

Galapagos - Isla San Cristóbal 🦭
16–23 avr. 2024, Équateur ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
San Cristobal's colony of Galapagos sea lions is the largest in the archipelago and they are our new favourite animals. They are so playful and we often found ourselves surrounded by them while snorkeling (the babies are very, very cute). We also made time to admire the other wildlife (lots of sea turtles, iguanas, tortoises, sharks, rays, blue-footed boobies. the usual 🙈).

Swimming with the black tip reef sharks during the 360° tour of the island was really special and we were lucky enough to come across a group of dolphins! The mountainbike ride to the other side of the island left us completely dehydrated (the heat! no water! uphill!), but we got some beautiful views of the island and El Junco Lagoon.

This was our last stop in Galapagos. After three weeks of snorkeling, sun and the coolest animals, we are really going to miss this place! 🏝️En savoir plus

Back in Quito! We stayed a few days to acclimatize after the jump from sea level to 2800 m and mostly walked around the city.

Cotopaxi & Corazón
27–30 avr. 2024, Équateur ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C
We started our exploration of the ‘Avenue of the Volcanoes’ 🌋 with the ascent of El Corazón at 4788m. Despite the Diamox, coca leaves and lots of water, Miel still developed altitude sickness and spent several hours in bed with a splitting headache.

The next day we were fortunately able to admire the almost perfectly symmetrical cone of Cotopaxi, with its 5897m one of the highest active volcanos in the world. As we aren’t sufficiently acclimatized to climb the summit of the volcano (+ it's quite expensive), we were happy to enjoy the views from Refugio José Ribas!En savoir plus

Quilotoa
1 mai 2024, Équateur ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
The Quilotoa Loop is one of the most popular hikes in Ecuador. The first day, we hiked from Sigchos to Isinliví and were joined by a shy dog, Choclo II. We wanted to adopt him, but when we arrived at our hostel, he'd had enough of us and wandered off. The hostel (Taita Cristóbal) was the best! Hammocks, tea, a cosy fireplace and the best food! The second day we continued to Chugchilan through lush greenery and passed many farms, cows, and pigs 🐮 🐷.

Because we didn't want to miss the weather window for a view of the large crater lake on the third day, we decided to take a taxi to Quilotoa instead of walking. We arrived just in time to enjoy the spectacular views before the clouds came 🌧️.

PS: although this is one of the most popular destinations in Ecuador, we didn't meet any other tourists on the trail and we were the only guests in the guesthouses along the way. It's heartbreaking to see how these people struggle. First there was the pandemic and now the emergency situation keeps tourists from visiting this wonderful country. Thus far, we've always felt very safe, and people are extremely friendly! So come to Ecuador :)!En savoir plus

Baños
3–8 mai 2024, Équateur ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Officially called Baños de Agua Santa, referring to the thermal baths heated by the nearby Tungurahua volcano, this town has turned into Ecuador's adventure capital. We biked the Ruta de Cascadas and stopped along the way to admire the waterfalls or (in Miel's case) go down some ziplines and swing from a huge suspension bridge. We also hiked to some of the surrounding viewpoints, the most famous one being Casa de Arbol.En savoir plus

Cuenca
8–12 mai 2024, Équateur ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
The historic center of Ecuador's third largest city is UNESCO World Heritage and it shows. There are beautiful colonial buildings and well-preserved churches everywhere ⛪. We also found a lot of cozy cafes and good vegan restaurants here, which added to its charm.

We did two day trips from Cuenca. One to Ingapirca, the largest Inca ruins in Ecuador and one to Cajas National Park, where we hiked along a few of the 786 alpine lakes at an altitude above 4000 meters (= Miel with a headache).

After spending a month on the mainland in the rainy season, it's time to move on to Peru!En savoir plus

Voyageur I liked Cuenca, especially this church and the big patio. There was a restaurant in the first floor with great food. I don‘t know if it is still there.
