Welcome to South America
Capurgana Colombia’s last corner
Capurgana turned out to be much bigger and livelier than I had anticipated. Stretched along the sea, Capugrana leads the way back to the entrance of the Darien Jungle.
Amazonas | Land between waters
Ecuador’s rainforests are some of the most biodiverse in the world, and a visit there is unlike any other wildlife experience. Whereas in Africa you might travel by jeep to see animals in the savannah, or by boat to go whale watching, in Ecuador you have to travel on foot or by small boat.
Ecuador’s most beautiful beaches
Many travelers decide to skip the Pacific coast (as Dani did). However, Ecuador’s coast offers excellent surfing, deserted beaches, and charming villages. Ecuador’s coast is a truly underrated gem that you should not miss.
Quito | the world’s highest capital
Quito, the highest capital in the world bursts with diversity. The 65km long Andean capital is a Potpourri of emotions: ethnic diversity, fascinating nature, creative people, architectural masterpieces and stunning views.
Ecuador Packing list
Packing for our travel to Ecuador in December turned out to be quite a challenge. For once we were planning on spending lots of time on the Galapagos islands, and secondly, we were planning on visiting the mainland and Quito, which lies high up in the Andes. With so many climates to cover the onion-style is vital!
Daytrips from Quito │ Explore Ecuador
When most people think of Ecuador, they automatically imagine the Galapagos Islands. However, this small country has much more to offer than just its world-famous archipelago. Quito, the capital of Ecuador, is located in the middle of the Andes and is an excellent starting point for exploring all three regions of the country.
