Ecuador - A country full of SURPRISES!
Ecuador was a country that blew us away!! What an UNDERRATED place posing volcanoes, incredible wildlife, The Amazon Rainforest, Waterfalls, and SO much more. We never knew this country offered so much. During our 5 weeks here we visited the coastal town of Montanita, trying our luck with spotting humpback whales and diving in the ocean. Then ventured onto the city of waterfall chasing, Banos - the adventure capital of Ecuador, swinging on the swing at the end of the world! Next we explored The Amazing living with a tribe here for 36 hours, then onto the stunning Quilotoa Lake and then horse riding in Cotopaxi admiring the Volcanoes. We then spent 2 weeks in the EPIC Galapagos before heading back to mainland Ecuador and visiting the Condors at Hacienda Zuleta and rounding our time off in the cloud forest of Mindo, where we finally spotted a toucan and so many other beautiful birds!
