Ecuador
Here are some of the 70-odd
travellers I have introduced to Ecuador, readers
of Third Way who enjoyed
a tour that took in the high sierra, the
rainforest and the Pacific coast. Everywhere we
were surrounded by extraordinary beauty. |

It was, said several of the party, the best holiday
they had ever had (and excellent value too).
Every day had something new and different!
wrote one. Fantastic, said another:
We packed in a phenomenal amount.
One older man came home so full of joie de
vivre that he went and bought himself a sports
car

Riding in the shadow of the
active volcano Tungurahua
(Throat of Fire)

Ive also organised
two trips to Borneo and
co-organised one to Kazakhstan
and Kyrgyzstan. |
Stocking up on fresh pineapples in the
market
Embarking in a motorised canoe for an
exhilarating cruise
up the Rio Napo
Approaching the hair-raising switchback of the Devils
Nose
on the roof of the train
The comfortable but unmistakably local bus that took
us
through a 4,180m pass over the Andes
The sun sets behind the cathedral in Cuenca,
a World Heritage Site and Ecuadors
mellowest city
