[@WoodyAndy]

It all looked great. The best bit for me was seeing you enjoying it so much!

[@barbarajeanne8351]

Amazing😮

[@donalpower9210]

Would love to see more of this type of content. Love your work. Really enjoyed this

[@amanda.outside]

I'm so glad!! Nick and I want to continue making videos like this!

[@StephsHealthMatters]

Those waterfalls were stunning!

[@AnnMaynard-fu9qd]

It was hard to choose a favorite part but I think the hike to the waterfalls was the most amazing. Your choice of music was perfect.

[@amanda.outside]

It took me a while to find music that fit and wasn't too distracting from the natural sounds and beauty. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!!

[@victorguevara9500]

Thanks for showing Ecuador to the world... I enjoyed every second of this video ❤

[@amanda.outside]

I'm so glad! Nick and I wanted to visit Ecuador for years, so it was a dream come true to finally make it happen. We definitely want to go back because there's so much to see!

[@mickeydyke392]

After watching this I am rethinking rain proof boots! Sandals look like the way to go!

[@rheagiboney2790]

My favorite part was seeing how happy you were. The waterfalls and butterflies were also amazing. That’s so much for sharing your journey.

[@amanda.outside]

It is such a special place! I felt so relaxed and amazed there. Even the town was incredible and everyone was so friendly. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@rachellawyer3421]

I love this so much! I appreciate the authentic feel of being tired in the beginning of your trip to the awe when you were in the butterfly sanctuary and near the waterfalls. You can see how happy you feel through the video :)

[@NinaRoush1]

I was so excited to see this video. I look forward to seeing the rest of the areas you traveled in Ecuador. 💞

[@amanda.outside]

We want to go back to Mindo with you someday!! 💕

[@NinaRoush1]

@@amanda.outside I would love that! 🥰

[@jackielingenfelter717]

A couple times the music and you joy in the discovery of the forest made me think of Avatar 😁👍 Loved that you went

[@DelfromPR]

Omg you guys have to visit Puerto Rico! You would love the Rainforest, the bioluminescent bays, the beaches! Yay for more content like this! 🎉

[@julietanguay3151]

Oh! 🥹 So beautiful… Love, love and love…

[@anninwhack1998]

Beautiful trip video! Ha ha about most rain you’ve ever seen- that’s what it looks like every time we go camping in Pennsylvania 😂😂

[@dsims868]

I loved it all, the animals are beautiful, the lush greenery, you walking through the water, water falls. Beautiful! Continue to show us your food experiences. Sight, sound, taste. Great music selection and camera work. Look forward to next video!!

[@amanda.outside]

So glad you enjoyed this one!! Thank you for commenting!

[@mysticalmisfit1332]

🙌🏽🙌🏽 I loved the birds and the rain 😊

[@leah492]

Amazing!! Visiting a rainforest and the galapagos islands have been on my bucket list for so long. Can't wait to see the rest of the videos

[@amanda.outside]

We didn't make it to the beach on this trip, but we definitely want to go back and see the Galapagos someday!

[@racheldebasitis8184]

This is so fun. Thanks for taking us along! :)

[@nbrah26]

Went to Ecuador (Banos and Quito) in Jan 2020 and loved it. Thank you for sharing its beauty!

[@susanf3110]

Beautiful video!

[@chewningfamily4900]

This video was amazing!! Can't wait to catch up on the other videos of your trip. Now that you have flown on an airplane to go backpacking.... could you do a video on considerations when you are flying to go backpacking? I went on my very first backpacking trip in 2021 (after watching every single one of your videos!) and my friend and I flew to Utah (very much inspired by your beautiful locations). We had a great trip but there were so many things to think about when it came to flying and preparing for the trip vs. just driving to the location..... fuel, checking a bag, a multi tool, getting water at the location before we set out, making sure we could fly with the stove, etc. Just so many things! I've even forgotten some of it now so having a video to reference in a few years when I'm able to do another backpacking trip would be amazing Love all of your content and appreciate it so much!

[@susanadeleon4843]

It was so beautiful and relaxing. I loved how you captured the sounds of the forest.

[@jennerzlistens1522]

Wooooo Ecuador! 😍 Loving all of it, beautiful!

[@simco75248]

Welcome back to your channel! Now we know some of what you’ve been up to. It was worth the wait. Especially love the birds and butterflies. Can’t wait for the next installments! Thanks!

[@amanda.outside]

It's so good to be back!! I'm glad you enjoyed this video! I have a couple more coming soon 🤗

[@laurachynoweth5186]

My favorite for sure was the butterflies! You both did a fabulous job filming, edited everything. Enjoy your wonderful adventure.

[@ComradeGustaf]

Thank you for all of your videos! My GF and i are planning our very first 1-night backpacking trip in the NH back country and i have been watching your videos to learn some good information. Keep up the great content!

[@stephanielegarda5443]

Wow Amanda this was so beautiful and I love the editing style and choice of music...so relaxing and tranquil. Glad you got to see that part of the world.

[@pyeitme508]

Wow 😮

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

Loved all of it!!! Super happy to see you love the rainforest hike so far being that it is a complete 180 from what you are used to!! Can't wait to see the next part of your adventure! Thanks for sharing!

[@helenvwalker7919]

Fabulous. Thank you😁😁😁

[@rvrm3380]

You are mesmerising ❤

[@Christine_1111]

Camera and editing! What a beautiful place!

[@sophia-O]

This video is incredible 😮

[@mary.w.]

Thank you for such a beautiful video. Any hike with waterfalls are my favorite! Could you link that purifying water bottle? I am excited to see the rest of your adventures!

[@amanda.outside]

The water bottle is linked in the video description. It's the GRAYL GeoPress. We both packed one and loved how easy it was to use!

[@jhoonhp8923]

Thanks! Great music selection

[@amanda.outside]

Thank you!! So glad you liked the music!

[@2kluless592]

This is amazing! Would you release a video for humid hiking tips?

[@stattravels8109]

So AWESOME

[@sigmalife0570]

Congo, and Amazon rainforest, the only 2 jungle I wouldn't dare to go by myself

[@whitleyrobertson7070]

Well the humidity makes your skin so soft and smooth, but for me it kicks my butt…..

[@mickeydyke392]

Hi Amanda. I am going to Ecuador next fall and my friend and I are looking for a place to stay for a few days to acclimate to the elevation. Would recommend the hostel you stayed at? If so what was its name? Thanks.

[@AmandaCash-sr7or]

This was beautiful! How do you even dress for weather like that?

[@carrolhenderson1555]

Birds!!

[@amanda.outside]

Yea I loved the birds in Mindo! I want to go back and do a bird watching tour because there are so many species that live there!

[@HoodHomies158]

[@user-ei1hf2vj2p]

수영 하는것 보여주세요

[@andyberry4346]

has a "lonely planet" vibe, like when the Travel Channel was about travel, not poker games or truck driving.
