Here´s another way to look at how we spent our time in Ecuador, on the mainland. There is a separate post about the Galapagos. You can also read all of our Ecuadorian posts; that will be much more informative…
- Days in-country: 45
- Cities visited: 10
- Hotels: 8
- Number of original VW Beetles seen: 76
- Hours traveling by bus: 44
- Hours traveling by bus-train: 4
- Hours traveling by airplane: 0
- Times we were guessed to be Italian: 2
- Times we were guessed to be German: 8
- Times we were guessed to be American: 0 (Is it wrong to be proud of that?)
- Times we received help from random Ecuadorians: 5
- City we most enjoyed: Cuenca
- Place we most enjoyed: Vilcabamba
- Cheapest taxi: $1 from La Mariscal to Teleferiqo

Glad to see Cuenca showed up on your list!
