Have you ever been in a city that transports you in time and has a bipolar climate?
Well this city is Quito and it has many places that transport you in different times of history. In my opinion Quito is a very good city for tourism because it has many places to visit, different activities to do.
I think it is a city where Ecotourism will be a contribution not only to the tourism industry but also to the inhabitant and it will change the way we see the city.
In my opinion that one of the ways in which we can visit different places in the city is moving in bicycles for the different places being this a pro, although the weather influences a lot the way in which we move this would be one of the cons of this type of city.

Pimampiro is a small and amazing city that is located in the province of Imbabura. It was recently declared by the Ministry of Tourism as one of the "Magic Towns of Ecuador" for being a destination of incomparable beauty .

Although Pimampiro is the best place to visit with your family and it has landscapes that will impress you, it can be exhaustive to get to some tourist places in the city that are in the mountains, for example "La Cascada del Tío Juan". it is a challenge because you have to walk several kilometers. But don't worry, there are other places like "The Andean Bear Viewpoint", you can look at various families of bears and you will be fascinated.

Although Pimampiro is not in the same province as Quito, the time it takes to arrive in your own vehicle is 3 hours and if you decide to go by bus the maximum time is 4 hours. Also, you can do different extreme sports such as canopy or giant swing, enjoy delicious cuisine, and enjoy festivities such as the carnival of the sun, Christmas and New Year's Eve.

I recommend bringing light clothes for the heat, but keep warm clothes in your suitcase. Bring sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and be with a good attitude.

If you want a relaxing and amazing place for this holiday. I would highly suggest Galapagos, a paradise surrounded by ocean. Even though Galapagos is almost a natural paradise, it is kind of difficult to explore all the island due to the restrictions the government has imposed for the conservation of the flora and fauna there. Despite the fact that Galapagos is a province of Ecuador, it can only be reached by plain or boat. But the beauties that you will find there will be totally worth it. So if you are planning to explore and relax in a natural paradise, you should go to Galapagos and when you are there try to not throwing litter or destroying this paradise.

Do you like the sun and wind from the Beach, but don’t like the large amount of people around you, or extraordinarily high prices?

Canoa its just fascinating, a beautiful place for visiting in holidays, there are some great views and places to walk and spent time, but the ways could be a little dangerous.

| actually is far from Quito, that it could be for esmeraldas or tonsupa, because is in the other side, in Manabi, but the long way it’s a very great experience, because if you go from Quito, there are almost 1 hour of travelling side to side from the sea, looking at the sunset. And for personal experience, the prices for hotels, AirBnB’s, cabins, and most importantly, for food, are surprisingly low

I always recommend that if you wanted to visit some place in Ecuador, do it in a not holiday date, it will be more pacific if you hate the amount of people, always wear a mask remember we’re still suffering from covid, so take care from that. and enjoy!

Are you thinking about finding a relaxing and a challenging surf paradise?
Although Canoa beach has lot of challenging and fascinating aquatic activities to offer such as swimming, diving, and specially surfing, it could be dangerous and terrifying if the weather or sea conditions are not appropriate.
Despite of the aesthetics of the restaurant/shops are beautiful and the people are very kind and talkative, in holidays there are a lot of tourists that can cause stress in people who live there or have their restaurants so they are very busy and tired that cannot talk to you. Also, the place could look very crowded and that´s not relaxing.
So, if you are considering going to Canoa, you should check the weather conditions before to not feel depressed if the activities are not available due to the conditions. And you better go on dates that people usually don’t travel to have all the amazing beach for yourself and your family.

Would you like to have adventures with friends or your family?

Even though Baños is a very impressive option to make extreme sports and find new things to do with your craziest friends, it may be too noisy and exhausting

Despite this city is challenging because you can ride bikes which is really amazing because while you are making exercise, visiting many waterfalls, also you can jump from a high bridge or at least you can go down the river in a nice boat, because of that people always choose these spot as one of the favorites to travel so it may be too crowded during weekends or holidays because is not too far from the Ecuador’s capital.

If you want to feel some adrenaline in your veins, come to Baños and enjoy your trip, but do not forget to be gentle with people that work here and collect all the trash you make and throw into a garbage.

Would you like to find a relaxing place and connect with nature and the giant whales?

Even though Puerto López is a very popular tourist destination in Ecuador recognized for its wide beaches, white sand and giant whales that visit it, sometimes it can be too dirty because visitors get dirty, and the whales only arrive there on certain dates.

Despite the distance to the city of Quito, can take you from 8 to 9 hours to go by car. But the beauty of the beach, the visit of the giant whales and the food will make the trip worthwhile.

If you plan to travel there, do not forget to take responsibility for the garbage you do. Try to help with the economy of Puerto López by buying their handicrafts and visiting all the tourist centers, mainly the viewpoints that it has and trying their typical dish that is encebollado.

“All you need is Ecuador” cannot be more precisely to describe Machalilla National Park.

Even though Machalilla National Park protects a large area that ranges from the coastal mountain range to a few beaches, it is 8 or 9 hours far from Quito by car.

Despite Agua Blanca commune, a part of this park, has an archaeological museum, large hot springs, and the mud from the bottom of the pool offers relaxing properties, native people have become tourist attractions, due to tourists’ ignorance and disrespect.

If you are planning to travel there, don’t forget to take out from the beach all the trash that you make. Do not feed animals because they may get used to it and become dependent.  And most important, respect the people that live and work there. Enjoy your adventure!

Are you looking for new touristic places in Ecuador?

Although “La Chocolatera” is a pretty calm place, with nice weather and also an amazing opportunity to get to see whales (which is quite impressive), I do have to mention that it’s pretty far from Quito so your travel may be really exhausting.

Despite I encourage you to go for a walk or to run in “La Chocolatera” , I’ll warn you that the smell from “La Lobería” (a view point where you can spot sea lions) is something, in my opinion, terrifying.

If you’re planning a trip here, I suggest you to go during summer, because during winter season Salinas is way too windy. Of course, if you’re going on summer, you better take with you some sunscreen, and also you should wear a cap. Good luck on your trip!

Would you like to know a place full of history, and with a beautiful landscape? Cuicocha Lagoon is for you.

Despite that you can access a relaxing guided tours in small boats and cross the "channel of dreams" surrounding the islets on whose shores the emission of gases is visible, which is amazing. But sadly, there is no aquatic life because the water is stagnant and has no currents.

If you have the opportunity to visit the Cuicocha lagoon, do not hesitate to do so, remember to bring extra money to buy the impressing crafts that the locals make. But the most important thing to remember is to avoid contaminating it with garbage, take a bag.
