Quito, a 6 hour flight from home, elevation 9300. Center of Ecuador. We are a group of long time friends who have had many adventures just not together. We share alot, but most importantly we share a desire to explore. Explore a new place, a different culture, and a different environment. We all especially want to experience life in Ecuador paying respect and appreciating all she is to earth. Ecuador is diverse culturally, geographically, and biologically. We hope to visit the Andes, the Amazon, the cloud forest and the Galapagos archipelago.
Our first stop on the 7th is Quito, where we will stay at the Posada del Maple. www.posadadelmaple.com
From there we will travel south for a four day stay at a small hacienda cradled in the heart of the Ecuadorian Andes. Here we will bask in the shadows of the mountains as we explore life on this small ranch. Horseback riding, good Ecuadorian cooking and learning about life on this small horse ranch will not only be interesting but also should fill our bellies and our minds with great food, and great insight!
