Hi! We are Eric and Sarah, a couple of Canadians currently travelling around Ecuador. We’ve been married since 2017 but have known each other since we were only 6 years old! During our last year of university, we spent 4 months in Honduras on a semester abroad and fell in love with Latin America. Since then, we began planning and saving to do an extensive Latin America tour. 2020 delayed those plans by half a year but during this time stuck in BC, we explored a new hobby (like everyone in the pandemic) of videography and photography. We are now using our new skills to document our adventures around Ecuador. Our desire through these videos is to provide helpful and inspiring content for other travelers while also showing people around the world how beautiful and underrated Ecuador truly is! Thanks for following along and please leave a comment to say hi!

Hi Eric and Sarah! Just found your channel and enjoyed watching your adventures. My wife Cindi and I were in Ecuador for an exploratory trip in March for 15 days. We stayed at the Grand Hotel about a block away from the park. We spent most of our time in Playas and Olon. We're planning a return trip this winter to Cuenca this time. In your Cuenca video you mentioned you only travel with carry-on's. Can you say more about that approach?
@EricandSarah
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Matt! Thanks for following along! So awesome you’ve been here recently. It’s a great country :) We each travel with a carry-on backpack (40L and 44L) plus a smaller backpack on our front. Works great for us because we’re moving around frequently by bus and don’t want large luggage. Plus if we want to take flights, we don’t pay for luggage! We don’t find we need any more space :) Hope that helps!
I’ll be visiting my beautiful Guayaquil city in a couple of months, I can’t wait!
i mean it cost like $8 to take a long-distance bus from Cuenca to Guayaquil. it was kind of scary how much the bus leaned in the curves arouond the steep mountain drops... chugging up a hill. There''s also a heavy mist in the air descending altitudes that the bus is saturated with wetness, strng funky foot smell resulting, most long-distance buses had that smell...ugh making you not wanna eat wow that gondola thing wasnt' there in 2018. too bad i missed it.

The main negativities of Guayaquil are the higher crime rate (especially these past few years), the traffic and noise, the heat and humidity in their "summer" season, and the amount of slummy urban neighborhoods throughout the city.. But the positive aspects of the city are its people being very outgoing and sociable, its great seafood along with other Ecuadorian and foreign cuisine, the many nice suburbs of the north, some historic suburbs and buildings in the south end and downtown, the Malecon/Las Peñas/the zoological park/the revitalization of the west side along the Estero and the University, and the overall tropical outgoing vibe of the city and people. Also the evenings, even in their summer, are generally comfortable (far more comfortable than Houston TX summer evenings). I still prefer the Andean cities and environment/climate up there, but Guayaquil has many enjoyable things too.
Welcome re you to Ecuador, enjoyed.

4:19 this is a very common thing in catolicism in Europe. There are certain dates where you have a kind of extended mass where you go by all those stops and have prayer at each. Usually very common at pilgrim spots

When I move to Ecuador, the reptiles and invertebrates are a good reason my son, Joseph Early-Haysley might come visit me ever again.
Just one thing. Guayas river is NOT the larger river of Ecuador. It is Napo river on the amazon region a large river that conect with the great Amazonas river
The gondolas are public transportation (crazy). you see those on the Disney World. I hoped you enjoyed the seafood.

En Guayaquil no ha habido terremotos, pero si fue un poco afectado con el terremoto del 2016 que hubo en la provincia de Manabi, pero directamente no ha habido un epicentro en Guayaquil. En cuanto a bienes Raices, hay muchas opciones para comprar, ya sea en condominios o edificios o casas, de todo precio, desde $ 100,000.
