Travel Adventure Book Picks Just in Time for the Holidays
Looking for some good travel books as gifts or for you to read? We have recently completed reading three books that are very different but all share the common theme of authentic travel.
Email: Greetings from Cotopaxi National Park, Ecuador
Since we last wrote, we left the hacienda north of Quito on Wednesday and made our way to Cotopaxi National Park about 50 miles south of Quito. We hired a driver to take us between the two destinations, which included a stop at the equator itself, about 15 miles north of Quito.
Peru: The Amazon Basin Jungle
One of the highlights of the entire trip was the visit to the Amazon Basin, which was a short flight from Cuzco to the gateway city of Puerto Maldonado. Once there, we boarded a boat for a journey up an Amazon tributary for a total of eight hours to a research center.
