Quito (2), Otavalo
Back to the capital Quito, a relaxing day, wandering in the city center, quite a lot of up and down hills. The above photos are of the historic old town of Quito. I wandered around the nearby area this morning and saw another modern side of the city. There are many morning joggers on the street, and there are also many people exercising outdoors in the park. The steeper the uphill and downhill, the more visible…

Quilotoa, Latacunga, Cotopaxi
In the morning, I took a taxi to the long-distance station and chatted with my brother. He was very concerned about current affairs in China and asked me about the recent three-child policy, population and Hong Kong issues. Unfortunately, my Spanish language skills are limited, so I can only give a general idea. I stopped by the roadside shed to have breakfast seco de pollo chicken noodles and rice when I was transferring to a long-distance bus. I just finished my boss...

Baños, Chimborazo
After a 4-hour long bus ride to the next city, Baños. Which city will call its own name "toilet"! ? The scenery along the way was beautiful, and I saw more cloudy rainforests. When I arrived at the "toilet", it seemed that I was the only one on the third floor of the hostel. The boss was very enthusiastic and recommended some nearby places worth visiting to me. in the street…

Shandia, Tena
At 5 o'clock last night, I took a long-distance bus ride from Quito and yesterday's sofa owner to his hometown, a small village in the Amazon rainforest, for more than 5 hours. He contacted me online a few weeks ago to tell me about the native Amazon culture he is particularly proud of, one of the minority Kichwa people who also have their own language…

Quito (1)
The summer vacation is so long and must not be idle, so I decided to go to Ecuador🇪🇨. The reason for deciding to come here is very simple. I found a super cheap air ticket a month ago. Another reason is that it gives Chinese citizens a rare visa exemption, and they also accept the new crown vaccine certificate. Before I came, I knew that the capital Quito was very high, nearly 3,000 meters above sea level. I really arrived last night…

Tayrona National Park
In fact, before I came to Colombia, I didn’t know about other cities except Bogota, Medellin and Cali. If it wasn’t for the Argentinian friend I met in Beijing a year and a half ago who strongly recommended me to go hiking in Tayrona National Park, I wouldn’t know about San Francisco at all. Marta is a city in the north of Colombia.

santa marta
When I came to Santa Marta, I met (or should I say "I didn't meet"?) a sofa owner who was the most willing to help and trust the sofa guest since I used the sofa guest software last year. I originally planned to live in a youth hostel, but the sofa owner took the initiative to contact me on the day I came to this city, saying that the apartment where he lived with his wife and daughter could accommodate me. …

Cartagena
In the afternoon, I arrived at the third stop of the Colombian tour: Cartagena, a seaside city. When I got off the plane, a burst of heat came to my face. It was more than 30 degrees and the humid coastal climate made me sweat immediately. I just watched a pirated movie in Bogota-Will Smith's new movie Gemini Man, which was filmed here. Ordered two…

Medellin (3)
Yesterday, the tour guide of the city walking tour recommended to go to a small square in the city center after 5:00 pm to experience the life of local people playing music and dancing. I took the long-distance bus from Guatapé back at just the right time. I stood among the crowd for half an hour, watching the locals sing and dance happily, and was deeply infected by their enthusiasm. Old men and old women walk lightly,...
