Waterfalls, waterfalls and more waterfalls. This morning we did the tour of the waterfalls. We jumped in the back of a truck and were driven to several different viewpoints, waterfalls, zip lines and pulley carts over some massive gorges. The tour ended with a hike to the bottom of a massive waterfall where you could…

Today we finally said goodbye to the amazing city of Quito and hello to the equally amazing landscape of Banos (which is funnily the same word used for toilet in Spanish). We decided to come here for a few nights to break up the trip to Cuenca in Ecuadors South. Banos is a small city…

Yesterday we had to change hostels because the other one was fully booked. Our new hostel has an amazing rooftop terrace/bar with this awesome view over this Unesco World Heritage city! I sat here last night and watched some fireworks go off behind the statue on El Panecillo Hill (on the left). Thanks to a tip…

So today was split into two distinct halves. The first half of the day involved taking a cable car and then hiking some of the way up a volcano. The second half involved spending hours in the hospital. Fortunately the two aren’t related. I hiked part of the way up Pichincha Volcano with two Canadians, Bridget…

Today I woke up a sad sad panda. Last night I stupidly left my awesome amazing Bota Bag (spanish wine drinking vessel) on the bus! Its the best drink bottle I have ever had and it was the second one I had purchased on this trip after the last one sprung a leak in Greece….

Time to leave the Jungle and all its fun and games 🙁 The skies opened up just as we boarded our canoe. Even our ponchos couldn’t stop the water from soaking us to the bone so that really wasn’t much fun, although the jungle did look pretty cool during the downpour. On the 8 hour…

Out of the 18 of us surprisingly only 5 had booked in for the longer 4 night, 5 day package so today most of our group went back to civilisation. Before they left I convinced Rambo to take us for a spot of piranha fishing from the pier directly out the front of the lodge….

Gringo Frog! Rambo had us trekking through the jungle straight after breakfast today. The hike lasted 4 hours, crossed the equator and once again Rambos super senses detected this white frog which he dubbed “Gringo Frog” (because he had never seen one before). He also honed in on some leaf cutter ants, bats, stitching ants,…
