And all along the way there was magnificent Architecture to see, cultural exchanges with ordinary people, wonderful regional culinary …

Unlike its South American neighbors, Peru and Colombia, Ecuador was a mystery to me. Ecuador is dwarfed in size by Argentina and Brazil, while its Pacific Coast pales in comparison to Chile’s. Often regarded as a mere layover for travelers en route to the Galapagos Islands, mainland Ecuador’s international reputation is limited. However, I soon …
