Ecuador Countdown

In less than two weeks, we will board a plane bound for Quito, Ecuador. This is the first visit to South America for both of us. It will be our second International Living event.

Quito



1. Swissotel
2. IL's Ultimate Event
3. Gianduja Chocolate Factory Tour and Mercado Centro for Ecuador's famous roses
4. La Mariscal or Gringoland district

Cotacachi


1. Tierra Del Sol Inn


Cuenca



1. Hotel Casa del Aguila
2. Cuenca Condos
3. Flower Market

We ended up making our arrangements ourselves. Despite the expertise of our agent, Betsy, we were looking for less vacation and more real world experience in the planning. We also canceled plans to be in Salinas, since it coincided with Carnival. We will cut the trip short and return the States from Cuenca.

Update

Due to distance, we previously eliminated Uruguay and replaced with Salinas. Then we learned about Carnival. Perhaps we are just supposed to see Cotacachi and Cuenca!
