    We have been watching you guys for months and will be visiting Cuenca mid January 24. If you see a gringo drinking a beer come say hey. You two are awesome.

      Thank you so much for watching Richard. We will. If you like craft beer...La Craft is great and if you like Belgium beer there is a craft brewery in Parque San Sebastián.

    My plans have been to just find a little rental place in Ecuador, use it as a home-spot and, then travel all the Central- and South American countries, visiting people I know there ....but...
    It may take the rest of my life, to just travel and visit Ecuador ...🤗
    Thanks a lot for sharing - again and, enjoy the weekend...💕💓💕

      @@ericandsandy 🥰 A while ago, I followed a family, travelling and, literally living off grid all the way through Ecuador...learning on their way, how to cope with everything...absolutely fascinating.. and yes, I likewise think Ecuador is more than big enough and, plenty to explore...I'll bring my laptop, a bit of clothing and myself and, then I may ask all the people from the rest of this continent to come see me there.....one day at the time...just can't wait to get to know all the wonderful people and, I wonder if all Ecuadorians actually know, what a stunning part of our planet they own...💖💖💖

    The first park was one of the first we visited on a tour with a guide when we arrived last October. Don’t recall the cooking area, maybe didn’t walk far enough. 😂.
    Looks windy for the drone shots. 😊. Thanks for reminding us of this beautiful park, will have to check it out again.
    The last park, Ictocruz, we had not even heard about so, will have to visit it soon.
    Thanks for sharing a great video. 🙏

    Your back !!! Gramps must have been thrilled to see you. If you have your walking shoes on, sure seems like you could log some kilometers. (I'm terrible at metric conversion. Sounds good. ha ha.) Lovely. Are there buses to there ? A lot of new houses being built there.....looks like. Can you inquire::: are eucalyptus trees are local to area ? Thanks for show and tell. Appreciate your hard work, E & S. 🙂(how far in advance did you have to book to get good fares, LATAM ? LATAM video ??? )

      We took a taxi. My fitbit is attached most days...usually anywhere from 7-16 miles a day. Eucalyptus is not local..someone told me they were brought here...the weeping willow is their local tree. I always book 30 days or more in advance. I just keep my eye out

      There is one more sign that I know of. Maybe you can add it to your video. Its near another lookout in the city which has an elevator but more urban. I just recently learned about the Icto Cruz one. View Point La Libertad has the 4th sign.

    • @ericandsandy
      @ericandsandy  Před rokem +1

      @heidicuesta6380 we went there.. the sign isn't there anymore. Just the steel frame that the letters set in. Maybe they took down that sign to use for backup letters for the others..that's the only thing I can think of why they took it down.

    Hi Folks - What a great find! From watching your videos, it seems Cuenca has a nice mix of urban & open space. I will definitely take my drone here! Did you use transit or a taxi to get to these places? After seeing Sandy’s expertise in hopscotch I think a zip lining video is in your future:) Thanks a bunch for this.
    All the best, Bob

      We took a taxi. The drone shots are so beautiful from both parks...take the drone! 😊😊 who doesn't love a good hopscotch?? Made me feel like I was a kid again..and I'm just happy I was still able to hopscotch 🤣🤣 Zip lining is a less talented game...just sit and enjoy the scenery 😉. Thanks Bob...have a great day
