My suggestion

Don't forget to set your alarm clock, so you're up in time to leave Chugchilán. The last bus leaves at 4am!!

Ideally placed on the Quilotoa Loop, Chugchilan is a village/stopover at 3,200m; the perfect place to rest for hikers exploring the region!

My suggestion

If you decide to do the Quilotoa Loop, it's easier to go in the Quilotoa - Chugchilan - Isinlibi direction, so as to avoid some steep climbs!

Guayaquil, pearl of the Pacific

Humidity, blasts of hot air, heavy traffic... Embark for Guayaquil, the largest city of Ecuador even though Quito is the capital. We're off for a visit of the "Pearl of the Pacific", from its landscaped river promenade (the Malecón 2000) to the cerro Santa Ana, not to mention the city centre!

Along the Pan-American Highway, from Cotopaxi to Chimborazo

The Sierra is the Andean region of Ecuador that's crossed by the Pan-American Highway. The other regions are Selva, home to the Amazon Rainforest and the Costa, which borders the Pacific Coast. Often called the 'Volcano Route', it boasts a dozen volcanoes, including the highest and most active in the world. And we're off to a giddy 3,000m altitude...
