Cuenca, Guayaquil (2)
The small city of Cuenca is a 3.5-hour bus ride to the southeast of Guayaquil. The altitude is similar to that of the capital Quito, almost 3 kilometers. Fortunately, there are not so many up and down slopes. This small town is beautiful and the architecture is very distinctive. At a certain moment, it feels like Córdoba, a small town in southern Spain. The city is full of small shops: clothing stores, shoe stores…

I left the Galapagos Islands by plane and flew to Guayaquil, a coastal city in the south, which is the largest city in Ecuador. As soon as I came out of the airport gate of Guayaquil, I saw a long pool on both sides, with slate, green plants and many goldfish swimming around, which was super beautiful. No wonder this airport 2…

My sofa owner on this island is also in the tourism industry, and he said that most of the residents of the Galapagos Islands actually rely on tourism for a living. He has been working on cruise ships before, as a waiter, bartender,…

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.

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.

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...

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…
