Enchanting Ecuador!
I traveled for 7 months in South America and Ecuador was one of the amazing countries that I visited. Bird watching, white water rafting in the Amazon, mountain biking down an active volcano, zip-lining and a train ride to a Quechua village were just some of the activities I enjoyed in Ecuador (watch the video above!).
Here are the places and activities featured in the above video:
- Bird watching, mariposario (butterfly sanctuary) and inner-tubing down river in Mindo.
- Train ride to Quechua village starting in Riobamba.
- Mountain biking down Chimborazo volcano with guide from Riobamba.
- Staying at luxury hotel at foot of Chimborazo (scene with alpacas with Chimborazo volcano in the background).
- White water rafting in the Amazon with guide from Tena.
- Climbing antenna above forest canopy with guide from Tena.
- Jumping into jungle pool in Amazon near Tena.
- Visiting gold-covered church at historic center of Quito.
- Handicrafts market at Otavalo.
- Zip-lining near Banos.
- Forest of twisted trees near Cuenca.
