Ecuador

After 8 months of often intense travel through Mexico, Central America and most recently Colombia, we were ready for a bit of a breather. Soon after we crossed the border into Ecuador, the roads changed from the poorly paved, treacherous, two lane roads through the mountain ranges of Colombia to well paved, relatively safe, four lane highway through the Avenida de los Volcanoes of Ecuador. We started to breathe more deeply and ease into what would be a relaxing month in Ecuador.
