We didn't have much Ecuador, but hope to come back someday. There is some good hiking that we'd like to do and of course it would be quite wonderful to visit the Galapagos Islands. Josh and I are planning to venture back someday, so keeping this in mind we were able to push through, heading south to Peru.
We seemed to agree that Quito was a bit nicer of a city than Bogota in our opinion. Perhaps it was simply that they used a trolly system running on electricity, cutting down on exhaust fumes.
There were also quite a few more travelers which was kind of fun. At the same time, each traveler had a story to instill fear in us about the surrounding city. Everyone said that Quito was incredibly unsafe with stories of gunshots and robberies occuring daily. We never felt unsafe but the stories that we were told over diner everynight stuck in my mind and hindered me from being able to relax and fully enjoy the city. Hopefully next time in Quito I won´t feel so limited by fear.
