Ecuador

Mel Mc: Book via Viator/Gray Line for private transfers from your Quito hotel with access to the hotel guests side of the hot springs which are less crowded. A great relaxing day to end any trip

Mel Mc: Las Grietas is a little gem to find some relief from a short hike in the Galápagos Islands humidity 😅 The water is pretty clear that you can see the fish you are swimming with

Mel Mc: Lots of black Marine Iguanas to see on this beach. They also blend into the rocks whilst sun baking

Mel Mc: We were treated to an upgrade to a Highland Villa that was like a small home. The hotel provides much relief to the humidity being in the Hinterland. Restaurant staff are extremely friendly

Mel Mc: The Ecuadorian Empanadas were freshly cooked and crispy 🙌 The Chef was very accommodating and made some other homely dishes at our request

Mel Mc: There is a bit of a flat walk to the entrance just in case you are not good with humidity. Home of Super Diego the tortoise and lots of baby tortoises separated by Island and Year born

Mel Mc: Stumbled upon this Mexican hideaway upstairs overlooking the street. Fab Margaritas and complimentary Tortilla chips, Guac, Jalapeños & Spicy Sauce

Mel Mc: Frequented here during our stay for a night cap. The Chocolate Calientes in the comfy lounge were a good end to the day

Mel Mc: An American fave in the Quito Airport. The Chilli Fries always fill a fast food craving. They also have the good old Coke Float

Mel Mc: Upstairs provides some relief from the humidity while you watch over Puerto Ayora sipping drinks
