#Cuenca #TravelVlog #Ecuador
Read my blog from this day in Cuenca: . Cuenca (Santa Ana de los Ríos de Cuenca) is a colonial gem of a city in southern Ecuador. It was one of the top places to visit in Ecuador for my itinerary. I decided to pass on the long 10 hour bus ride and instead book me an airplane ticket down south (it's pretty cheap!).
What a beautiful city. A river with a nice strip of grass runs right through the middle of town.

VLOG_007: ADVENTURE TO SARDINAYACU IN SANGAY NATIONAL PARK - ECUADOR
The Sangay National Park is the third largest in surface within continental Ecuador. It covers 4 provinces (Tungurahua, Chimborazo, Morona Santiago and Cañar). This video represents a 3-day expedition made in the central-eastern area of the Sangay National Park, within the lake complex of Sardinayacu. Quilico Drones traveled to the city of Macas, where officials of this protected area provided the support to travel the stretch that separates the entrance to the park, in the Nueva Alianza refuge and the vicinity of the Cormorán lake, the third of five lagoons in Sardinayacu.
There are no words to describe so much abundance of life in a unique state of conservation with a landscape of jungles and mountains that make Sardinayacu a place of contemplation, admiration and respect for nature.
To the west of Cormorán camping site, the Sangay volcano rises majestically. It is a stratovolcano that rises in the middle of the Paramo of the Cordillera Real. With an altitude of 5,230 meters above sea level (17.160 FASL) it is currently the most active volcano in the area (emission of gases, pyroclastic flows, ash and lava) in Ecuador and it is known that erupted for the last time in 1628, year from which it remains in constant activity.
The Sangay volcano is an ode to nature, it is a giver of life and a modifier of it. Their insides keep secrets unveiled, because their inaccessibility still preserves pristine sites that hopefully persevere forever.
Our gratitude to Paúl Velín S., Víctor León, to the Park rangers staff that accompanied the expedition and to Bio. Jorge Brito for his invaluable scientific contributions and information of the protected area.
Featuring scenes from both Sardinayacu lake complex and Sangay volcano in Ecuador. Enjoy and feel free to leave any questions in the comment section below.

See in Guayaquil, Ecuador
====================
These places are located in the downtown area, near the main hotels and at the heart of the regenerated area, a very secure walk.
The Malecon Simón Bolivar. It is the riverfront promenade for the Guayas River, with shops, theaters, museums, gardens and shopping arcades. The Rotonda monument in the middle of the Malecon, commemorates the famous meeting of Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin that took place there.
The Malecon del Salado located next to the Estero Salado (an estuary of sea water), here you can enjoy fresh air and wonderful sunsets, with restaurants of typical food, all framed within a very safe new park.
The renewed downtown area (Area regenerada), very secure to walk and look around.
Museums (Museo Municipal, Museo Nahim Isaias, MAAC and Presley Northon Museum are located in the center of the downtown)
Santa Ana & El Carmen hills, you can see almost the whole city from here. You can walk up the 400 odd steps to the top from the Malecon Simón Bolivar. There is a lighthouse, museum, small chapel and park at the top. Along the stairs, vendors sell water, ice cream and other snacks.
Las Peñas, where the city was founded, was actually rebuilt and painted bright colors where most of Guayaquil's colonial buildings are.
Parks, we recommend to visit the Seminario Parque de las Iguanas downtown, which is home to hundreds of tame iguanas, some fish in a pond and a black squirrel or two, and do not forget some turtles.
The Central Bank Building has several giant paintings on the outside of the building.
Markets, you can visit the Mercado Artesanal, where you can buy some very traditional souvenirs from all regions of Ecuador.
Parque Histórico, Avenue Rio Esmer Aldas, Guayaquil, Ecuador, . an interesting recreation of the early 20th century years of Guayaquil, the look, the people and the food. Includes a small zoo, some old town-buildings where moved here as well as a Hacienda-Building and a small country-side farm-house. There is also a garden where you can see all kinds of tropical fruits being grown. In case you know coffee only as the black beans, chocolate only as powder and sugar only as a white powder - this is the place to go. no entrance fee (2013).
Jardín Botánico (Botanical Garden), ciudadela 'las Orquídeas', Av. Francisco De Orellana (in the northern part of the city), . In the Botanical Garden you find many tropical plants directly under the blue sky as well as local animals and especially a butterfly farm. edit
The cemetery north from the centre has few impressing graves and statues as well as plenty of more normal graves. Worth a visit if you're into graveyards.
Zoológico El Pantanal, Km. 23 Vía a Daule, Guayaquil, . Nice small zoo in the northern part of Guayaquil. Visit, if the kids want to see more animals after having been to Parque Histórico
Other interesting places near Guayaquil:
Crucero Discovery, rides up and down the Rio Guayas. You can catch it at Malecon Simón Bolivar. Crazy parties at night.
Traditionally, Salinas has been the main beach, but since 2008 General Villamil Playas has attracted a big part of the local and international tourism. Fishing, surfing, and other water sports. Many modern hotels and delicious sea food. Interesting night life. Wonderful whale-watching during June to September.
The following places are interesting to see if you are daring:
6 de Marzo is an interesting street to visit about 10 blocks from the downtown area during the week before New Year's Eve, because the street is lined with Años Viejos or old years, paper maché figures ranging in size from about 12 inches up to 10 or more feet tall. These are often political, movie or cartoon characters.
La Bahía, just off the southern end of the Malecon Simón Bolivar. Huge market area full of shops and stalls of almost anything imaginable. Because it is so cheap you will have lower social class people and have to be a little careful with belongings.
Cocoa or Banana plantations are located around Guayaquil city.
