Travel through Ecuador

June 3, 2013

Destination Ecuador Ibarra: the white city, we tried the BEST ice cream made of fresh ecuadorian tropical fruits, helados de paila. YUM!!!

Destination Ecuador, Zuleta: Traveling trough Cayambe, the only snow capped volcano where the equator line passes. We discovered a hidden and fertile valley at Zuleta, probably the most aristocratic hacienda in Ecuador, and learned about a successful cheese factory conquering the heart of the Ecuadorians.

Destination Otavalo: we love markets! Even more so when they are alive, authentic and hosts are willing to share experiences like this

Destination Cotacachi: we explored a leather city! Cotacachi is well known for Its leather production, check out this funky store.

Destination Pinsaqui: we stayed at an hacienda that hosted Simon Bolivar, the liberator. It had beautiful gardens, amazing food and areas to relax in for us and the general on his way to Quito.

Destination Mojanda: We loved mojanda! This groovy destination celebrates shamanism, yoga, and vegetarian food. Its walking distance to the Otavalo market and has amazing views of Mount Imbabura and Cotacachi volcano.

Destination Inca Hacienda, San Agustin: imagine a place where The Inca himself used to rest while visiting the Cotopaxi region

Destination Ecuador El Porvenir: probably the most fun and active destination in the Cotopaxi Region offering activities such as mountain biking, zip lining, trekking and climbing.
