Emails from the Road

Email: Greetings from El Valle, Panama

When last we wrote we were in Panama City making do with the extreme weather and the havoc it was reaping on our plans.

Authentic Adventures / South America

Best of Ecuador: Haciendas, Volcanoes and the Jungle

Ecuador provided a great getaway to experience historic haciendas, beautiful volcanoes with sweeping vistas and natural rain forest jungle in the Amazon Basin. All of this was experienced during a 10 day trip in November 2008.

Emails from the Road

Email: Greetings from Otavalo, Ecuador

Well we are on the road again, this time for a 10 day trip to Ecuador. We flew to Miami on Sunday and then took a four hour flight to Quito, Ecuador. It is the second highest country capital in the world at about 9,500 feet.

Emails from the Road

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.
