QUITO
(Galapagos Islands Adventure)

A free day in Quito meant the city was ours to wander, and it was buzzing.

We kicked off the morning on the actual equator line, which, in one particular local’s case, runs dead-center through his living room. After years of meticulous, obsessive research, he’s convinced the official monuments are off by yards, and standing in his courtyard while he passionately defends his grid lines is the kind of travel memory money can't buy.

From there, we bussed up to Panecillo Hill. Standing under the massive wings of the Virgin of Quito, we looked out over a sea of terracotta roofs spilling endlessly into the Andean foothills.

Heading back down, we lost ourselves in the old town's colonial core. Between the gold-leaf churches, packed plazas, and bustling artisan stalls, we just fell into step with hundreds of locals out enjoying a Sunday stroll.

Naturally, a deep-dive dark chocolate tasting led straight to the only logical finale: a double scoop of artisan chocolate ice cream to close out the day.

Have you ever considered a trip to the Amazon?

KICHWA HOSPITALITY
(Amazon Adventure)

Deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon, we spent the day with a local Kichwa family, trading our usual routine for a hands-on crash course in rainforest life. We watched them transform raw yucca into chicha, the traditional fermented drink that fuels the community, learning the patient process behind a tradition passed down through generations.

The real highlight, though, was the chocolate. We followed the entire journey of cocoa, starting with the raw pods hanging from the trees, moving through roasting and grinding, and ending with a fresh, rich tasting. It quickly became obvious why Ecuador has a global reputation for producing some of the absolute finest chocolate on the planet - tasting it right where it grows is an experience we won’t forget anytime soon.

AMAZOONICO
(Amazon Adventure)

The Amazon Rainforest is home to hundreds of species of animals, which are not always easy to see in the wild. But we did get a chance to visit the AmaZOOnico Animal Rescue Center, which of course, is not a zoo at all. It is a renowned wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center. Here they take in wild animals who were victims of illegal trafficking, rehabilitate them, and reintroduce them back into their natural habitats or just provide a sanctuary for those animals who cannot be returned to the wild.

We saw monkeys (spider, woolly, capuchin), parrots, macaws, toucans, caimans, tortoises and more!

SACRED CEIBO
(Amazon Adventure)

Cutting through the thick hum of the Amazon, the trail snaked deep into a mix of raw, untamed jungle and regenerating forest. We were headed toward a true titan: a massive Ceibo tree that feels less like a tree and more like the central pillar holding up the canopy.

Reaching over 200 feet into the sky, these iconic giants anchor the entire ecosystem, with colossal buttress roots that look almost sculpted. Honestly, camera lenses just flatten them - standing at the base is the only way to feel how absurdly huge they are.

Along the trek, our local guide kept us dialed in - decoding distant bird calls, pulling medicinal leaves straight off the vine, and sharing the deep spiritual connection Indigenous communities have had with the Ceibo for generations. Near the end of our journey, the canopy suddenly came alive as dozens of squirrel monkeys leaped through the branches above us, chattering and following along.

It wasn't just a hike; it was stepping right into a living, breathing history of the rainforest.

CANYONING IN THE AMAZON
(Amazon Adventure)

Yesterday, we drove east from Quito, up and over the Andes, moving from misty paramo landscape to the lush vegetation of the Amazon rainforest.

Hosted by Rolando and his family at the Pimpilala Lodge, we enjoyed a traditional Ecuadorian lunch before the real excitement began!

Donning gum boots and helmets, we hiked, scrambled and climbed our way through a tributary of the Amazon River. We were positively engulfed in greenery as we navigated the rocks and tree trunks, carefully making our way to a beautiful little (but powerful) waterfall.

Then, following customary indigenous practices, one at a time, we stood beneath the waterfall, letting the rushing water cleanse our spirits, carrying away our heavy thoughts and sending our troubles downstream.

What an exciting adventure to get us started!

THE AMAZON IS CALLING!

(Galápagos holiday)

A few of us have taken advantage of exploring the Ecuadorian side of the Amazon, before embarking on our Galapagos sailing trip. What makes the Ecuador side so special is that it is one of the most incredibly diverse countries on the continent and is a perfect alternative for those that want a less touristy Amazon experience.

One of our first stops was the Pimpilala Lodge - a family-run ecotourism project nestled deep into Amazon rainforest. The lodge was started by Delfin Pauchi, a Kichwa indigenous leader, considered to be one of the godfathers for responsible tourism. Today his family hosted us for lunch and an afternoon adventure (more on that tomorrow!)

11/02/2026

Our Comfortable Hikers spent the last few days exploring the wonders of Ecuador's Amazon Jungle as part of our new pre trip extension. Tomorrow we had off to the Galapagos, but here's a sneak peak at all of the sights and adventures we experienced over the last few days.

🥾 A Walk Along the Yamanobe-no-Michi Trail – Japan 🇯🇵

Despite the forecast predicting rain all day, we were lucky enough to enjoy a completely dry day exploring this beautiful historic trail. We obviously live right! Perhaps we’re a little more enlightened than the Zen garden led us to believe! 😂

The Yamanobe-no-Michi is one of Japan’s oldest recorded walking routes and offered a fascinating glimpse into rural Japanese life. We passed extensive rice fields, persimmon trees heavy with fruit, citrus groves and small farming communities.

Along the way, there were plenty of reminders of Japan’s rich history and traditions, including old cemeteries, impressive Buddha statues and beautiful shrines. It was interesting to see so many Japanese people visiting the shrines, taking time for their prayers and traditional rituals.

A different experience from our mountain hikes, but a wonderful way to discover another side of Japan. 🇯🇵
