  • Some paint it, others write about it, many look at it, few climb it, most dream about it.
    A place on my mind, one that was part of the original inspirations for this journey, to build this truck, and to drive through The Americas.
    Do you have a place like that? One that you’ve saved pictures of?
    We’ve found ourselves at the middle of the Earth. Ecuadors landscape transforms drastically. From the Andes to the Amazon, it’s a world-class overland adventure. This is ours.
    Entering Cotopaxi national park feels like we’ve entered into the photos that we’ve saved on our phones. But there’s something missing… The volcano is being shy, and hiding in his clouds. A watched pot… will boil eventually. Your move, Cotopaxi.
    The watched pot never boils saying holds more true than ever, as Cotopaxi is currently active and climbing the mountain is prohibited. So as he boils from the inside, figuring out how to clear away the clouds, we’ll be traversing the outskirts of the park in search for the Andean bear.
    Even during the week, the park fills with travellers from all over the world. This ‘canal route’ as it is called seemed to have no evidence of tracks between its muddy ruts, so with time on our side we set off into the seemingly barren landscape.
    There were no obvious signs the clouds would clear enough for us to see Cotopaxi’s summit before sundown. An unfortunate reality we didn’t want to accept.
    With our day spent driving among this golden grass, we made our way to one of the huts to warm up.
    It was like the heat from our hot chocolate was telling us that the pot was finally boiling.
    This is what we’ve waited for. Only better.
    We’re travelling towards Chimborazo, the highest mountain in Ecuador. It hold another, more surprising distinction. This peak, is the closest point on Earth to the sun. And we would be trying to set a new elevation record driving up it.
    The town of Banos has a lot to offer for adventure seekers. Something interesting we learned is that it’s home to the only
    Ecuador is every part of the word diverse. Amongst active volcanos and amazonian rivers, we camped with fire, and set a new elevation record at 4800 M. Warm faces welcomed us in the most unexpected of ways. This country is awesome, and we only scratched the surface.

    Old Toyota guy here. I'm absolutely loving you kids adventure. In fact, I bought a 2000 4 Runner, to build into an overlander. The only complaint, I have, no subtitles on this video. My 88 year old,deaf mother,loves you kids and she's confused as to what you are saying. Love you kids!

    As an almost life-long American, I still need a calculator to figure out how high 4800 meters is. Damn, that's high. The one thing I notice in each of your videos, is the ubiquitous dogs and chickens. They really are everywhere. And the dogs understand Spanish, who knew? One thing I have wondered about though-out the series is money. Does everyone accept US dollars or do you exchange money at each country?
    When you speak of the experiences that you have been through, I can't help but relate to the feeling. I believe that the beauty and inaccessibility of some places add to the allure, but also simple sights are enough to free your mind of the daily banalities of life and let that feeling of wonder shine through. As much as you guys experience, I know there are still schedules, the search for camping, food and fuel as well as safety concerns and maintaining your YT channel. For all you guys do, thank you again, If I would have seen this channel when I was young and free, I would probably be somewhere in the Amazon hunting with a blowgun.

    • @ToyotaWorldRunners
      @ToyotaWorldRunners  Před 7 měsíci +2

      Thank you, as always for commenting!
      The dogs.. chickens.. pigs.. and now sheep as we get further south are OUT OF CONTROL 😂 obstacles that will make sure you’re never sleepy while driving.
      We have been told of countries accepting American Cash, but haven’t found anyone yet. In each country we withdraw the currency from ATMs. If we have left overs, we get it exchanged at the border crossings.
      Also, the dogs understanding Spanish seems weird to us as well.. why is that? 😅

An app we use daily is called iOverlander where people are able to put warnings of robberies/sketchy encounters etc. We study that, as well as talk to locals. At the end of the day, if you’re looking for trouble, you’ll find it. If you approach everything with respect, as it’s their country, not yours, you’ll be greeted with uncommon kindness.

    Greetings from the still warmish south Okanagan where it's only -3 this morning at 368m. Honestly 4600m is tough to wrap my head around and then to see fox and whitetail running around there as well is so cool. Crazy to think the whitetail's cousins run north into the Yukon isn't it? The music choice and volume is wonderful as usual and your narration is spot on. All of that make a difference to the overall quality so kudos for paying attention to the little things.

There's sooooo many better Mexican beers... im sure by now you've tried MANY Mexican beers... and yes, im aware ur WAAAAAY South of old Mexico 🇲🇽 now... but listen... try Pacifico. That was always my fave when we went to our beloved Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤️... we loved Mexico!!!

    Happy upbeat guides. Glad to discover you. Well made film. You are one of the handsomest CZcams guides I've seen on travel videos. I really enjoyed the Peruvian Andes video particularly

      Nice!! We must be on the same tour schedule. We wished we spent more time in La Fortuna. There seemed to be enough restaurants there to eat for 10 years. We hope you get to experience the hotsprings that we also didn’t have time for! Haha

    I feel like I’m becoming a super
    Fan and like maybe how those girls
    Get with Taylor swift. This is the first time I’ve been obsessed with anthing like tv or a series. I truthfully cannot belive how much you guys step it up each time. As someone who’s been studying marketing and also film development and video production in hopes to document my travels as well next year along panamerican I loyal having trouble focusing in my actual life lol. You do it all so well. The ups and down and engagement it keeps us glued I know it’ll be a matter of a few clicks and someone massive will share and y’all will be mainstream and have millions of subs. The content is simply the best on CZcams and the genuine aunthenticity is heart warming. Thank you for keeping me enthusiastic about doing my Ambo build out and saying my ass off next 6-9 months to do this adventure. It’s now gone for me from a 6-12 month goal to I’m going as ling as it takes even if I have to sell my home land. Cheers Btw, still can’t get the patreon to work more then a few seconds. Wondering if others are having same issues hate to see it cost you guys money. I’m happy to send PayPal as well or Venmo. The content is so valuable to me cheers

    Man i was awesome watching your video of Ecuador. You went to all the spots that i been to before. My family is from Ambato ecuador. And banos, cotopaxi and chimboraso are by far the sickest places to visit. The food is crazy good. After watching you video me and my wife decided to set up a trip to take our family first week of july. Ecuador lettsss go!!!

    I'm enjoying your video. I live right in front of Chimborazo at 3200m. Sorry you didn't get to see it. I've lived in the Riobamba area for 4.5 years and love it here. I'm curious, when were you here? We are currently in a drought since May. It's early December now (2023).

    Your rig looks down at the rear. Do you already have rear airbags? If not, have you considered fitting them?
    Airbag Man airbags work really well in the rear of our 2009 Defender 110, which tows our hybrid caravan here in Australia.

    another great video! Ive been wondering watching you guys have drinks from restaurants and whatnot. Are most of the restaurants serving drinks that are made with water that us North Americans can drink without getting upset stomachs?

    • @ToyotaWorldRunners
      @ToyotaWorldRunners  Před 4 měsíci +1

      We will (with honesty and experience) say that when you go to a restaurant, you’re always taking a risk. We’ve had bad stomachs for multiple reasons… and it can be as simple as a change in the pH of the water. One thing travelling will teach you is resilience 😂
