    I wanted to thank you for showcasing my country in such beautiful light. Ecuador is like living on artist canvas, my brother used to climb mountains, I preferred the rain forest, whereas my parents took us on back pack trips since an early age all over the country! My childhood memories are like your video, how lucky was I to be born in one of the most beautiful corners of the world :)

    Just returned from a 3 week round trip of Ecuador.
    My hightlight was definitely the Amazon. Spent 5 days in the Napo wildlife center and loved the walks in the rainforest, the breathtaking canopy views and canoe rides in the Anangu Creek.
    Galapagos was nice to see (since I was already in Ecuador) but this is the only constellation imo the islands are worth seeing (and not spending more than 5 days). Just my opinion.
    Continental Ecuador / Andes is amazing and I loved Cuenca.

    Amazing video and so many places you went to there, my wife whose from Ecuador went to as well back in 2017. Going back with her the end of july to Cotacachi to scout out a place to retire to. I am from the midwest USA, so going to Ecuador was really something. I hope you ate many new foods and drinks, especially humitas. That was my favorite food there, but also a snack kind of thing I think was called cana. Its basically small cane sugar sticks you chew on to get the sugary water out. I may have a sweet tooth lol. We are also planning to go to galapagos this trip too.

    Couple questions as I might be going for 3 months in the summer.
    Did you summit Cotopaxi, do you think it was worth the time? Do you wish you did a pre mountain hike (like one of the smaller ones)?
    How far out did you plan your Cotopaxi excursion, Amazon, and Galapagos? Do you wish you did anything different?
    Where did you stay?
    Was the Galapagos worth the money? And how much did your cruise cost?

    • @AliceFordAdventures
      @AliceFordAdventures  2 года назад +3

      Yes I summitted Cotopaxi check out that video for all the details and yes you have to do several other hikes first. I planned all my excursions just a few weeks prior and the Galapagos about a week before. I stayed in many different places which area are you wondering about?
      Cruise cost about $4500 for 5 days

    What an awesome video! I went several times to South America (Peru to be specific) and explored the Incan ruins, the amazon, culture, etc. It is by far my number 1 in best adventure I ever went. I don't know what specifically makes it the best for me, but I guess id have to say it was the solidarity, stillness and humbling experience one can absorb being in those types of countries. Also the trip feeling like a whole meditation journey.
    All I can say is the moment I returned to the states I REALLY took a lot of things for granted but also ended up strangely missing that simpler/minimal life, which South America gave me. As well as helping me notice how much positivity being in the present can be. Im sure Ecuador must have been a blast! Anyways, I'm done writing my novel lol. Subbed! Thanks for sharing! :)
