Ecuador is one of the most diverse countries in the world though it's comparably tiny. Beside the Galapagos Islands (which is the #1 tourist destination in Ecuador) the country has a lot more to offer, therefore I focussed on La Sierra in this video which is a paradise for landscape lovers and outdoor adventurers.
Another reason to visit the Andean region is that you have the chance to dive into the local culture and get a real feeling of Ecuador. The places to see in Ecuador I focussed on in this short video are the result of my own travels along the center from north to south and are easily doable in 2 weeks time.
Things to do in Ecuador covered in this video:
01) 00:36 - Otavalo market in Otavalo
02) 01:00 - Hike the Cuicocha lake
03) 01:25 - Middle of the World, Mitad del Mundo & Quitsato in Cayambe
04) 01:48 - Quito, capital & UNESCO World Heritage

Ecuador, officially the Republic of Ecuador, is a representative democratic republic in northwestern South America, bordered by Colombia on the north, Peru on the east and south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Ecuador also includes the Galápagos Islands in the Pacific, about 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) west of the mainland. The capital city is Quito, while the largest city is Guayaquil.
What is now Ecuador was home to a variety of Amerindian groups that were gradually incorporated into the Inca Empire during the 15th century. The territory was colonized by Spain during the 16th century, achieving independence in 1820 as part of Gran Colombia, from which it emerged as its own sovereign state in 1830. The legacy of both empires is reflected in Ecuador's ethnically diverse population, with most of its 16.4 million people being mestizos, followed by large minorities of European, Amerindian, and African descendants. Spanish is the official language and is spoken by a majority of the population, though 13 Amerindian languages are also recognized, including Quichua and Shuar.
Ecuador is a middle-income country, with a developing economy that is highly dependent on commodities, namely petroleum and agricultural products. It is governed as a democratic presidential republic. One of 17 megadiverse countries in the world, Ecuador hosts many endemic plants and animals, such as those of the Galápagos Islands. In recognition of its unique ecological heritage, the new constitution of 2008 is the first in the world to recognize legally enforceable Rights of Nature, or ecosystem rights.

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!

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!
