ECUADOR: Part 1
ECUADOR: Part 1
In early May 2007, Stan Kirsh and I visited the enchanting county of Ecuador. Our first stop, of our 11 day visit, was Quinto, Peru’s capital city. We then went on to the Amazon jungle, the Galapagos Islands and finally bused southward along the Andes from Quito to Guayaquil. Because of the time needed to view and describe this adventure, I believe it best to divide it into 3 separate showings, and present them in chronologic order. The first of these will combine the Amazon Jungle with 20+ photos taken on a half-day trip to two very active hummingbird sanctuarys, located about one-and-half hours NW of Quito. Although the dates for the second and third segments have not been decided upon yet, their order has: The Galapagos Islands will be next, followed by the bus cruise down the Andes.
