Taking a taxi in Quito – Know the In & Outs like a Local

by
Want to take a taxi in Quito? Learn some tips revolving around safety, navigation, and pricing. Quito is a particularly interesting place to take a taxi. It extends almost 65 km from end to end, and yet is only 5 km at its widest part. This leads to almost exclusively north-south transfers, with only select crossings and turns to reach specific points. Keep that linear routing in mind, in case your driver starts to take you in circles!

by
Selfies with giant tortoises, marine iguanas and blue-footed boobies while you're on a trip to the Galapagos are definitely Instagram-worthy.

Chimborazo Climb – The Complete 2022 Guide

by
If you’re a climber that’s visiting Ecuador, the Chimborazo Volcano is one that you can’t miss! The Chimborazo’s claim to fame is that it’s peak is the world’s furthest point from the earth’s center.
