Ecuador Catch-All

We, the intrepid travelers by car of Ecuador, are near the end of this trip.  This catch-all post is about the interesting things we experienced, stayed in, or otherwise observed but did not get into another post.  Enjoy.


One of many candy shops along the road:


 A soda vendor in Puerto Lopez:


The Potato Market in Otovalo had big bags and piles and piles of potatoes.

Indigenous artifacts from the Agua Blanca Museum outside of Puerto Lopez:


One of many creative entrances advertising No-Tell Motels:

Hostal Curinan in Otovalo:


Quinta de San Miguel near Lago de Yahuar Cocha:


Isla del Sol in Same (Sah-may):


Hotel Canoa Wonderland in Canoa:


Hotel Victor Hugo in Puerto Lopez:

We stayed on the beach whenever possible.  Puerto Lopez had beautiful sunsets, cool early morning fog, and fishermen who unloaded their catches to sell:
