reached after ten-hour bus ride overnight on the border of Colombia and Ecuador, to which we can march through easily than Europeans. Then we boarded the next bus which brought us to our first destination Otavalo, where we arrived after four additional hours. This place is famous for its market, on which are jewelry, clothing, tools, and sells more of locals in traditional style. The people themselves live while not in Otavalo, abe come from dozens of villages in the area there to offer their stuff, because it has many tourists.
worked despite the huge hype the whole, very authentic, and so we stayed a few days to get hold of for souvenirs at the meat market right to dine next to the battle table unusual dishes but also to make order in the near short trips, such as a walk through storybook-like forests to a waterfall. The food was particularly special as are grilled pork in one piece and uses all parts of it. Mäsi had a soup with Schweinefuessen, parts of the head and other nondescript pieces of meat in it. Mischa was held here for the first time, the ceviche, a dish with seafood in a lemon sauce with onions, which it has done to her at first and then more often in front of her on a plate landed. There were also exotic things, such as cuy (hamster) or giant caterpillars, which we tried but not because they had not exactly appetizing. 
went to this idyllic and traditionally influenced place it on to Quito, the capital of Ecuador. First we had before, not all there to stay too long because we particularly wanted to return back to the beach but also because we were already in some large cities and these are usually fairly similar. It was then but very pleasant, so we stayed there a few days to wander through the beautiful old city, to admire the city panorama from a mountain or simply just to fill up some sun on a meadow. To get from Quito to the sea we bought bus tickets a day in advance. But when we went to the bus station in the morning, we announced an Ecuadorian with a casual wave of his hand, that the bus had an accident, plus he was still laughing as if it more often opposed them. Luckily, a bus from another company was almost the same time, so that getting up early had paid off but still. That accidents are a daily occurrence, we saw another bus on a board, where in the advertising business so that they had very few crashes this month. As a kind of ranking ... We made it but then no incidents to the sea, where we went to the Ruta de Spondylus, a distance from beach to beach.
Dies wurde zu unserem bisher schoensten Erlebnis auf unserer Reise! Wir waren fast einen Monat an einigen Orten unterwegs und eigentlich koennten wir ueber fast jeden einen eigenen Eintrag schreiben. Da gab es zum Beispiel Mompiche, ein kleines vertraeumtes Fischerdoerfchen mit einem endlos langen Strand. Es hatte nur etwa sieben Hostels, drei Restaurants und einen kleinen Supermarkt. Die perfekte einsame Bucht, wie im Bilderbuch! Weiter suedlich kamen wir nach Canoa, ein etwas groesseres Staedtchen mit Restaurants, welche Seafood anboten, dass einem das Wasser im Munde zusammenlief. Weiter auf der Route ging es nach Puerto Lopez, wo wir zum Karneval eintrafen. Salsa an jeder Ecke, betrunkene Einheimische en Masse und das Meer war so ueberfuellt von Badenden, dass es us even a little frightened to go to the beach. Almost came to the conclusion then our highlight, Montanita. 
This city is also known as the Amsterdam of South America. It was just fantastic, plus we had the perfect hostel in the third with a terrace Stick against the sea. We enjoyed doing nothing during the day at the beach and in the evening the Fiesta or the comfortable atmosphere on our terrace. heavy heart, we decided to walk away from the sea to travel further. To this end we made a stop in Guayaquil, the largest city of Ecuador, as you get from there best to Peru. This one can not say much special, it was just simply a great city. Although we
during the Rainy season in Ecuador, we had almost always nice weather in hot temperatures. Only two or three times during the night there was rain shower size. The locals were also to travel further still very funny and established people who gave us any time you tips and tricks how and where to best.
We would almost have stayed longer, but there was to explore other countries. Although we are not even on the Galapagos Islands were (too expensive) and saw the rain forest, while crossing from the bus window, Ecuador had been our most beautiful travel destination and we determined at future trips back to visit us.
