Enchanting Ecuador

 

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.

Here are some photos from these places:
