But, I think this past year might be different. Unlike some travelers, we never really lost track of time or place. I think this is because each day presented such new, unforgettable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After several days of rain in Cuenca and then Loja, we awoke to a beautiful day, and decided to take advantage of it by hiking through Podacarpus National Park near Loja. The park was our last chance to hike in one of Ecuador&#8217;s cloud forests, known for their abundant wildlife, before heading to Peru.

Deals can be found, but none are on the best boats. After doing some research, we decided we wanted to do the Galapagos in style, which [...]]]></description>

A few days ago, we arrived in Banos. If New Zealand claims to be the adventure capital of the world, then Banos comes in a close second. From here, you can go bungee jumping, river rafting, canyoning (repelling down a waterfall), hiking, climbing, and mountain biking. After those strenuous activities, you can soak in several [...]]]></description>

After two weeks of tiresome Spanish classes, we headed to La Luna, a secluded hostel outside of Otavalo. We plan to post reviews of the places we stay in each country, but I think La Luna is going to be hard to beat. It is a rustic hostel set amongst the beautiful countryside with a [...]]]></description>

We took a short boat ride on the lake to get a closer view of some of the wildlife and vegetation. Gas emissions from the crater still bubble to the surface, and the lake is home to 400 species [...]]]></description>

On Saturday we awoke in the wee hours of the morning to watch the locals haggle over animals. Otavalo is famous for its indigenous craft market held on Saturdays, but we thought the real draw to Otavalo was the animal market.
Set amongst the Andean Mountains locals barter for guinea pigs, chickens, rabbits, pigs, cows, donkeys, [...]]]></description>
