I live on the coast, but Ecuador is a tiny country and you can travel to just about anywhere less than 24 hours on a bus! You can see the jungle, explore volcanoes, experience beach after beach, hike through the sierra, work on various warms, and so much more! It is so amazing that you can get a taste of each type of world out there in one small country.
I would like to share a short example with you. Yesterday, I adventured off to a farm nearby (1-2 hours). This farm is the fathers of a good friend of mine. It is close to 400 acres of land-phew! The farm consisted of
rice, mangos, plantains, bananas, cacao, livestock, coffee, pineapple, etc. I had the chance to ride a mule and do a little of discovering myself. There were amazing birds and the land was absolutely beautiful with trees that have been standing for hundreds of years. After riding horses, we ate a fresh lunch that consisted of soup, rice, a mix of beans, and fresh pineapple. The people were great and so nice.
I only feel the the need to share this short experience with you because it is a day like this day to imagine how many types of cultural people that live here in Ecuador. The worlds are close together but miles apart. And yet, those worlds are the only thing people know of and therefore those people are nothing but happy!
