A Lovely Montañita Holiday

ksarmiento8 — 2020-11-05 12:02:05 UTC

1. Today, I will be talking about my holiday in Montañita. I went to Montañita with my wife, two daughters two years ago.

2. We took a ´banana boat ride´ and also made a big sand castle. They were such exciting and amazing experiences!

3. The food was the best. We found a small restaurant called ¨Karukera¨. The price was convenient. We had fried plantains, fried eggs, and orange juice for breakfast at only $2.50. Also, there is a lively and entertaining atmosphere there. A local band played a beautiful song for consumers. However, driving a car for many hours was annoying and boring. Fortunately, my wife helped me to drive. All in all, holidays bring us good and bad things; however, we must enjoy them to the most!

I love everything from Lahore, Pakistan

wpindo1 — 2020-11-06 17:36:24 UTC

1. Last week I traveled to Lahore, Pakistan with my family and 2 best friends.

2. Something that was very special, because it surprised me a lot was that the price of everything from the passage to the food was very accessible, quite cheap. Also, being a Middle Eastern country, people have a different way of seeing the world and that was the difference.

3. What I liked was the culture of the city, its typical food, the unique customs, the people, its clothing and much more. However, something I did not like was the fact that there are a lot of people and it is difficult to get around the city. In conclusion, even though the stay in Lahore was magnificent, the trip from Ecuador was very tiring.

Hillary Resort a beautiful place

aburgos31 — 2020-11-06 18:21:53 UTC

1. Today, I will be talking about my holiday in Hillary Resort. I went to Hillary Resort with my family one year ago.
2. I played billiards with my father and my brother, it was my first time playing this. It was really funny and my father taught me to play. Also, we also swam, actually I can't swim so I just stood in the pool and had a drink.
3. There was a big restaurant. I really liked the buffet breakfast and lunch. Food was very tasty. However, the journey was very stressful and boring. I didn't sleep over the trip. Fortunately, my sister played some good music. All in all, apart from traveling part, my holiday was funny and the resort was really beautiful and interesting. I would like to go there again.

A different Carnival

ChavezTuarezJennifferLizbeth — 2020-11-06 19:02:34 UTC

1.Hi! Today I will be talking about my last holiday in Chanduy-Santa Elena. I went with my son, my mother and three brothers last March.

2. We took a boat and sailed in the sea. That was an amazing experience!

3. When we traveled it was time of Carnival and, in the beach, there were many shows to see and have fun. We stayed with my grandma’s house, there so we didn’t spend money in hotel. The family atmosphere was the best and it made special the journey because my family is really big and cozy. Also, the fish was really cheap because Chanduy isn’t only a beach, it’s a harbor too. However, having little time to stay there was annoying. Fortunately, we could to return to home because just after to do that the president declared the quarantine for the pandemic.

Extraordinary moments from my journey.

portiz216 — 2020-11-06 19:48:52 UTC

1. Today, I will be talking about my holiday in Salinas. I went to Salinas with my family two years ago.

2. We talked as a group to agree, if they wanted to get on the "Donut ride" too. and the elders went to a quiet cafeteria until they left our game. There was a lot of fear and excitement among cousins from this experience.

3. The weather accompanied our food in the restaurant "Mar & Tierra". I saw the prices very expensive but there were great dishes that we chose. Our menu was grilled salmon and grilled golden fish among others, also the place shows you a spectacular and amazing view. However, in "carnival" there is crowding of people and for me it was very dangerous and annoying to go out at night. Fortunately, my family celebrated in a hotel and young people a few hours on the beach. My older cousin took care of us at all times, too. All in all, holidays show you the bad and good world, it's only up to you to be different and have the most fun.

My holiday in Ambato

rlandeta1 — 2020-11-06 20:06:58 UTC

1. Today I am going to talk about my holiday in Ambato, I went with my family.
2. I found tourism very special because it has interesting places like parks or churches, it is very different from where I live.
3. What I liked about Ambato was the food and the dancing. We used to eat at my grandmother's house because we stayed at her house when we went to Ambato and on one occasion we ate at a restaurant where the food was delicious. I ordered a baked potato tortilla, avocado, encebollado and a glass of coca cola for lunch at only $3.00, then we went to continue walking the streets and found a dance presentation, where they danced to music from the region. For me it was interesting and amazing to discover that they do highlight their culture for example the food, the dance, in conclusion I would like to go again were good experiences.

3. The food was the best. We found a small restaurant called "LOJANITA". The price was convenient. We had fried bananas, lobster ceviche with shrimp and a fish fillet with half a ceviche of your choice at only $5.00
Besides, there is a lively and comfortable atmosphere there. One person decided to sing and make our day. However, my uncle was tired from driving for many hours. Fortunately, my mum helped him to drive.
All in all, Holidays bring us good and bad things, however, we must have fun and enjoy ourselves!

♥MY VACATION♥ 1. Today, I will be talking about my holiday ,in the month of March of this year, I traveled to New York USA with my parents and my younger sister, to visit my older sister. 2. This vacation was different due to the pandemic, we did stay 3 months in the USA, because the country closed its borders and we could not leave the country. But what made this vacation special, is that I met my newborn nephew. We spent about two weeks at home, but after that, with security measures, we went to shopping centers and supermarkets. I loved that we found discounts of up to 75% in all the stores. 3.- This vacation was a lot of fun since we went through several situations both when we arrived and when we returned, but I loved meeting my nephew and spending time with my sister.

mmerchan6 — 2020-11-07 00:00:20 UTC

1 Hello, today I will be talking about my Holiday in Cuenca. I went to cuenca with my family and four friends three months before 2020.
2 While we were there, some friends from there invited us to a wedding, so we went and enjoyed it a lot.
3 What I liked the most about my holiday was that we stayed many days therefore we traveled to many places, however, I didn't like the weather because it was very rainy and cloudy and sometimes we returned to our accommodation quickly. One night it was so rainy that thunder and even lightning began to be heard, it was very exciting.

Hello, everyone.
Today I will be talking about my holiday in Baños.
I went to Baños with my aunt and my cousins two years ago.
2. While we were there we did a couple of sightseeing tours around the city, we met the "Pailon del Diablo" and the swing at the end of the world, it was all very fun and interesting.
3. What I liked the most about being there was the hotel where we stayed, because people came from all countries. And in the lobby we were able to interact with each other before going out to tour the city, it was quite interesting, although during the tour my legs hurt a lot, so I had to sit down to rest and stayed behind.

My Holiday in Cuenca

mfarez6 — 2020-11-07 00:47:39 UTC

1. Today, I will be talking about my holiday in Cuenca.I went with my family.
2.I like to travel to Cuenca because I think it’s very beautiful city and it has interesting places for example churches and cathedrals with it’s impressive architecture but the street “Larga” it’s amazing to go out for a walk at night.
3. Our holiday was very special because it was my mom’s birthday and she really enjoyed the new experiences, we walked to the top of the cathedral, it felt incredible.

Holidays with my love.

lmaza4 — 2020-11-07 00:53:28 UTC

1. I visited Catamayo and Vilcabamba in February 2020.
2. I traveled with my boyfriend to meet his family to celebrate carnival and visit Vilcabamba.
3. We went out to see a car show with audios at night, to eat, and a day later we drove to Vilcabamba, the view was beautiful among the mist and tall trees. When we arrived we walked through the park, we visited a small museum, the church, the view and the atmosphere were very romantic.
4. I really liked meeting your family and that they received me with great affection. Know another place with someone that I appreciate very much. I didn't like the heat so much at night.
5. The only annoying thing about the trip was that we spent very few days, I would have loved to be more.

My Holiday in Cuenca!✨ Berenice Feijoó Chamba

2020-11-07 01:10:23 UTC

Hi! Today I'm going to talk about my last holiday to Cuenca. I went with my boyfriend, and my boyfriend's parents this was last year for the month of May.

We drove around Cuenca in the car and arrived at the Mirador del Turi!

3. We travelled during school time, more so because my boyfriend had a medical consultation. Besides, the family atmosphere was the best and that made the trip special because my boyfriend's family are very good people and I felt loved. Besides, eating the barbecues and baking in Cuenca is the best thing there is, especially in the market.

2. We went to see the zoo and we saw many animals but we liked seeing a very large snake with its eggs and we also visited the Great Church of the Virgen del Cisne and the beautiful parks that Loja has.

3. Loja has a very interesting culture and its food is very delicious, we lost a moment in the city. However, my family and I arrived at a well-known restaurant in the city, we enjoyed the food, my parents ate two traditional dishes of Loja, a Repe and Cecina. Unfortunately we didn't have much time to stay in Loja but fortunately to visit beautiful places. All in all those vacations were very exciting because I met people and made friends.

1.Today, I will be talking about my holiday in Cuenca. I went to Cuenca with my family one year ago.

2.That day, I went fishing to Cajas National Park. I really had a good time, we spent some many hours there trying to catch some fish. Also we went to Turi, there is an amazing view of the city there. I didn’t like the weather, due to the rain we couldn't visit more places. I would have liked to go for a walk in El Paraiso park, besides the trip was very annoying because of the bad state of the road, we even had to take a detour!

3.The most amazing of my holiday there was the food. We went to Barabón and we ate baked chicken there. It was very delicious!

A spectacular trip

kmatias1 — 2020-11-07 01:47:24 UTC

1. Today I tell you about my spectacular trip where we went to Ibarra-Imbabura with my family. 2. The atmosphere was very relaxing and fun as we walked through Yahuarcocha to its well-known Lake Sangre and the different places in Ibarra such as a town called Pimanpiro and churches with exquisite baroque art. 3. The food was absolutely exquisite. I still remember that delicious Hornado and the delicious Cevichocho! However, the mornings were a bit annoying and boring since we had to sell shrimp in order to continue paying our per diem. Fortunately, we never lacked for anything and we always sold everything. In conclusion, this trip was very exciting and I would repeat it with my family, without hesitation.

An unforgettable experience in the National Park of Cajas

efalcones1 — 2020-11-07 01:48:27 UTC

1. Today, I will be talking about my trip to Cajas. I went to Cajas 8 years ago with my parents, my brother and my dear grandmother.
2. One of the most special moments I remember was that my family and I had a hike on the high and cold mountains of Cajas with our travel guide.
3. Those holidays were wonderful, what I liked the most was that we took many photos with incredible landscapes, also with animals such as vicuñas that live in the moors. Cajas has very beautiful and unique lakes. The stay in Cajas was exciting, interesting and amazing at the same time, I say this because I had never felt so cold before as in those moors, it was one of the best experiences in my life since I met foreign people, new animals, new culture and customs.

My Holiday in Chimborazo Volcano.

aguerrero112 — 2020-11-07 04:22:08 UTC

1.-Today, I will be talking about my holiday in Chimborazo volcano, I went to Chimborazo Volcano with my Family, a year ago.

2.-It was the first time I traveled with my family to the Chimborazo Volcano, we climbed to the second refuge called Whymper, it was also the first time I was able to try coca tea. Going up to the second shelter left us tired, however we loved it.

3.-I loved seeing the ice on the tip of the Cotopaxi volcano, it was really magical and wonderful. From there we went to Quito to spend the night in a hotel.

It was an incredible experience and we had a great time, too bad it lasted so little.
