A couple of weeks in Ecuador from December 2006. Started in Guayaquil where my brother is living, Montanita on the coast for some surfing, beautiful Cuenca for nice cafés and a little bit of tear gas, then Mindo near Quito for some falls and bird-watching, and finally Quito. Quito is not pictured because venturing our with the DSLR in Quito is not always advisable.
