Our Trip to Ecuador APRIL 2011

Ecuador, well I think one couch-surfer recommend it and were lucky to find Tickets on sale for 5 people.
So Again no check in Bags...we learned our lesson....we backed everything in two big bags....
We landed in Quito and went out of the city by Taxi to Latchanga...It is 2.5 hours south....
We stayed for the night...the next morning we strolled around and found a huge Farmers Market.
We moved to the next destinations Amabto....We took bus there we arrived after 1 hour....
It is so commercial town....that we just went in Taxi and moved to Banos....Oh mine BANOS is the place to be....
It is has so many activities for the whole family....once we checked in hotel, we went to the Spa.....The hot water comes naturally from the
Volcano...It so nice we spent 2 hours swimming....enjoying the scenery.....We missed the last bus from the Spa to the Town...so What??
we walked down the hill then we caught a Taxi......By the way the currency in Ecuador is Dollars....so no need to exchange money....
We were so happy to be in Banos, the town is very safe and Tourist loved being here b/c it the middle point between the South and North.
We took a tour to Big waterfalls in Banos....We hiked....we ate the best home-made ice-cream.....
There is Drink called Tomato De Rojo....it not tomato rather a fruit like mango but Sour.....It is the one of the delicious Juice we drank there.
We signed for 2 days tour to the jungle.....It was adventure in itself......We saw aligators, monkeys, different kind of medicinal plants....
Maybe one day I will live in the rain forest and learn about all these Medicinal Plants......
we took a canoe down the river....it was poring rain....so it was experience in-itself.....
