Great report! We're planning to visit Ecuador this September and your report certainly made us very excited. Thank you!

Kacenka ... You are welcomed. I wish I had more time to see Otavalo and Cotopaxi. There were even last minute offers to Galapagos Island. Hope you enjoy Ecuador, I certainly did! More of my other trip reports at: www.dmbtraveler195.blogspot.com

DMB, Tantalizing report, travel writing extraordinaire!! Enjoyed your journey vicariously!! Friend and I are heading to Quito in a few weeks, but our journey will be along the beaten paths. It's nice to know what's down the other roads! Deb

Wildebeestus, thanks for your kind comments. Maybe you will get to explore a bit outside of Quito. Otavalo to the North and Cotopaxi to the South are not too far from Quito. I hope you will at least visit Mitdad Del Mundo (15km North) and step on The Equator! DMB. www.dmbtraveler195.blogsspot.com
