Starting with the Hacienda Zuleta and the colorful market of Otavalo I explore the Imbabura Province where I also get to hike part of the trail running along the picturesque crater lake of Cuicocha.
One of the most popular things to do is visiting the actualy equator aka Mitad del Mundo - here I decided to go to the lesser known monument of the Inca Sundial near Cayambe.
Finishing with some hiking at the Cayambe-Coca Ecological Reserve and the hot springs at the Termas de Papallacta I leave Ecuador with loads of cool memories!

With this video the actual project starts after I used my arrival day to explore some highlights of Quito on my own.
I met my team buddies Rocket & Wink as well as Michelle & Johannes from YUKIKO and we went to the market and to La Ronda at night.
On Day 2 we finally left the capital of Ecuador to head high up to the Andes and our first stop: Quilotoa. The impressive crater lake has been one of our highlights on that amazing trip and is one of the best things to do in Ecuador!

Waterfalls of Mindo, Ecuador | Travel Vlog
Mindo Ecuador has some amazing outdoor adventures, most notably a 7-waterfalls circuit. You get to it via the Tarabita - an elevated cable car which runs off an old Nissan engine. The Santuario de Cascadas Mindo is right dab in the Nambillo cloud forest. My solo travel trip took me to this region over the
After the falls, I went to the Butterfly Sanctuary within town & even got to see some stunning hummingbirds. I even captured their movement in slow-motion.

A Stunning 3 Day Trek Around The Quilotoa Loop In Ecuador Ep. 6 (Travel Diary)
Hola everyone — thanks for trekking the Quilotoa Loop with me!
As most of you already know, I am currently off budget backpacking through South America, and this vlog is apart of a whole South America travel series. Right now, I am backpacking in Colombia. This travel vlog takes place in Quilotoa, Ecuador or as I saw it, my vast Ecuadorian playground. More specifically, I stayed at the Llullullama Hostel, among others, but this hostel was the only worthwhile place I stayed at in this video.
This travel vlog begins in Latacunga, Ecuador, where I prepare for the 3 day hike ahead of me. Then we start the hike! On the first day, we got lost a lot and rained on, but it was all worth it because of what we arrived to at the Llullullama Hostel. They had a full spa and a delicious, hardy vegan meal.
We ate family style here, and communally cureled up by the fire place and shared laughs. There was no wifi in this remote mountain lodge, so we had to resort to other means of entertainment: the Cosmopolitan magazine's secret to happiness. Of course, we all found this just hilarious and stayed very entertained.
On the next day, we skip the rain -- THANK GOD! We had a lovely 6 hour hike through the mountain range and got to see so many lovely sites. My favorite, however, was the elementary school we happened upon. I have this special love for children. I find them to be the purest expression of love, so this was just such a treat to play with the kids for a few moments while we rested.
When we arrived at our next hostel for the night, my team and I were all so stoked for food and shelter. We feasted that night, enjoyed long hot showers, and hit the hay. But, not before, a certain drama unfolded. You see, it just wouldn't be a Kaia Cloudsurfer vlog without a least one drama, right? The light in our dorm room exploded in a small flame and gas was spewing out of it. Anywho, crisis averted. We good:D
On the final day of the hike, I got to see more beautiful mountain babies along the way, and I found a perfect little pup, that I literally carried with me for 10 minutes on the trail. However, gravity. So, I let the dog down (and she followed -- so sweet).
Long story short, we got to the crater, and it was dope! Such a surreal and beautiful experience. It was one of those places that forced you to acknowledge and appreciate the vastness of the universe. Just beautiful. Also, Evan breaks it down when we get there. Haha, definitely check that part of the video out. It's my favorite!
Thank you for watching, guys!
