Listening to this while I wait to eat in a restaurant right now. Leaving to Ecuador in 12 hours !

[@sarapardej9403]

I just came back from Ecuador & all of your videos had me very well prepared- thank you so much! Another thing to know is how much they take COVID seriously. I was sprayed with santizer (yes- fully body sprayed) before entering several places (anything from churches to kayaking!). If they didn't full body spray me, every place sanitized my hands before I get in and after I left. Temperature checks everywhere as well. Everyone wearing masks everywhere- a stark contrast from the US (at least where I am in the US). I had a wonderful time & couldn't recommend Ecuador more!

[@pgfromfiji]

Could you recommend some good hostels as I am finding it abut hard to find better ones...

[@sarapardej9403]

@@pgfromfiji absolutely! I really enjoyed my time in Masaya Hostel in Quito. If you're looking for something more homey in Quito, I also stayed in Huasi Lodge and it was wonderful. In Cuenca, I stayed in Mallki Hostel. The hosts were the kindest people I had ever met! In Banos, I stayed in Papachos, which was geared towards a younger crowd. The staff were super helpful and had great recommendations.

[@santiagoartero.i.3847]

It really depends on how are you going to Galapagos, because you can actually spend thousand of dollars on a cruise, or you could just take a plane. Indeed most of the schools here in Ecuador take their students at 7th grade to the Galapagos for a couple of weeks or even a month. One of my best childhood experiences :,)

[@stephengaren2219]

The tap water in Quito and Sangolqui is fine. My fiance is Ecuadorian and I've been to Ecuador for a total of a month. Mindo to Esmeraldas? Tia is your friend. It was mine and where I got my food and water. Found out about that in both places the hard way. Altitude didn't affect me, except Pichincha, but then you can see Quito from above from there. I stay at a really nice, family owned/operated hostel for $15 a night. The advantage of having a friend, relative, fiance (Haha) is they know where everything is. I get to see more than with a tourist guide, which is expensive. My fiance and her family hate Cuy. Try the ice cream/Helado shops. Not mentioned in this video. Also Chochos, Mora y Morocho are very good as well. And the bread shops. Best bread I've ever had!

[@manuvital9071]

Thanks for sharing your experiences! Which Quito Hostel where you at? Did the Hostel offer day trips to close-by sites? I will be arriving Quito in early October, very excited. what are Chochos?

[@stephengaren2219]

@@manuvital9071 I stay in a hostel in Sangolqui near my fiance's home, for convenience and it's not bad at all. It's really a hotel, so no communal living. The family home was sold last year and they moved to another area in Sangolqui, but I'll probably stay there again on return visits. It was literally next door to where they lived but on the next block. Sangolqui is a suburb of Quito. Places in Quito are more expensive but affordable, much cheaper than in the States but it really depends on what you're looking for in accomodations. Current pricing I have no clue about as I haven't been there in two years due to family responsibilities and the virus. I was taken around to look at some options in Quito a few years ago, but decided it just made more sense to stay in Sangolqui so my fiance didn't have to travel to, and through, Quito every morning since we didn't always just stay in the area. Ambato, Mindo, Esmeraldas for example. The buses stop in Sangolqui and head to different places locally. For further trips we either traveled by car or took a tour bus. Since my last post I've found out that they now sell Cuy flavored ice cream. Meat flavored ice cream? My fiance, her family and I are not interested but it is pretty popular in Ecuador right now. Haha Chochos are a legume (bean) that typically grows high up on the volcanoes. A friend of mine from Peru says they have the same thing there they just call it something else.

[@larrypicard8802]

Well you can drink the tap water in Cuenca. I’ve been living here for two months with no problems. It comes directly from the Cajas. I’m sure it’s treated somehow but it’s fine to drink. Also be VERY careful as a pedestrian. If not there’s a good chance you’ll be injured.

@@andrewb9595 I’m going to Guayaquil and a city near there in 19 days? Any advice ?

[@andrewb9595]

@@gabrielmatherly6019 Sadly that is one area of Ecuador we did not visit. So I can't really give you any tips for the area. All I can say is if you don't know any Spanish at all, invest the time to learn at least some rudimentary Spanish. Believe it or not just some simple Spanish like ordering food or telling a taxi driver where you want to go, goes a very long way. Also we've been told that in Guayaquil if your travelling with a backpack, wear it in front of you. Apparently (this is from people that live there) it's one of the higher crime areas in the country due to its large population and high poverty level. Violent crime is rare, but robbery and pickpocketing isn't uncommon. Honestly though, a little common sense goes a long way. Stay out of dark alleys, don't buy drugs, don't pay for sex and don't go for a walk around town after drinking at the club. In essence, don't be stupid and you'll be fine.

I also take a couple rolls of quarters when going to Ecuador for buses and taxis. Twenty dollar bills are accepted but typically frowned upon. I use fives and singles mostly. Take only what you need for the day. A little goes a long way in Ecuador.

[@andrewsmith9174]

I don’t take singles anymore because they use the coin dollars. Just take $50,$20,$10,$5. I use the large bills for things like paying bills at any resort or hotel, the rest is dinners, and most often the taxis or coffee. And yes, definitely walk with just what you expect to spend. I split it between two pockets, a habit from my youth when I was delivering pizzas in college. My companion might take half the cash too.

Let me clarify one thing about the Toilet Paper stuff. This is mostly an Urban legend. Think people. The sewage is capable to handle solid human waste...But will clog by a few sheets of toilet paper...? This misconception generated back in the day (I'm talking 50-40 years ago when using Toilet paper was considered a luxury, and people still used Newspaper sheets to wipe. For obvious reasons newspaper is perhaps 10 times thicker and more coarse than TP... Common knowledge back in the day was throwing the newspaper sheets in a basket and throw it away as garbage, but at some point someone thought that wet enough, the sheets of newspaper could eventually be flushed...They won't. After a few incidents, it was considered an extremely rude and dumb thing to do...to throw ANYTHING you use to wipe your rear in the toilet... However we know that toilet paper is safe to flush, in the US or in Ecuador... However as it happens from time to time here in the States, we can get some random, occasional toilet clogging...If you are in a hotel in Ecuador and that happens to you and the plumber comes and see toilet paper floating there..They will immediately point fingers at the TP as culprit...It is not. So...If you do not want to get yourself in an awkward situation...Flush before you wipe.... Then, after everything flushes...you can bet your butt the toilet paper itself will flush with zero issues. Furthermore, the sign at minute 13:17 clearly says Throw the TP in the toilet... meaning DO NOT throw your doodoo-paper in the basket...which is only for tampons and other used toiletries...These kind of signs are there (I'm assuming) because so many Ecuadorians believe the nonsense of this Urban Legend. And if they find dirty TP in the basket Hotel employees will believe you are disgusting... I know, this is clearly a cultural misunderstanding...But please... flush first...then wipe and flush the TP in the toilet...The TP itself will not clog the toilet...Trust me on this one.

Hello World Wolters Ok Ecuador.👍👍👍🇪🇨👍🇺🇸

[@DukeStreetBill]

The toilets' inability to "swallow" your paper, etc., is not a "pressure" problem: it's because their exit pipes are undersized, and sometimes, poorly seamed (i.e., they can snag fibrous stuff like paper and hair). Re the sun: pay attention: actinic keratosis can cause pre-cancers as much as thirty to forty years after exposure. "Chivo" is goat; in the big cities, sometimes they'll call it goat, but use sheep, which is inferior in every way. At restaurants with no service charges, tip the same percent as a good person would tip at home, because the prices are lower, but it's the same human doing the same service.

I had been very careful, but then took a trip with friends even higher up to Latacunga and that night ate after 7pm and was SICK , like a shook pop bottle all night. The build up of pressure is no joke. The small bills is a great tip! it is spot on--and the atms are not stocked with $ the way they are in the US, so don't think you will be able to get $100 when you need it. Often the most we could get out was $20. And, yes, you are correct--don't think you can break a $20 easily. We had a few awkward moments where we bought drinks and snacks and realized we would be taking all the money they had in the register to break our $20 bill. People are so nice and helpful! Smile!
