OK, we all have the occasional bad birthday. However, as if turning 33 wasn't bad enough, I reckon the events of this year´s birthday have made it my worst one yet. It all started in Quito at lunchtime on 18 March when a friend Riikka and I boarded a bus bound for Puyo (on the edge of the jungle). The bus operator manhandled our bags as he threw them into the luggage compartment (and I probably annoyed him by complaining as he tried to sit them right next to a leaking oil can). We endured a long and tiring 6 hour journey through the countryside and by the time we got to Puyo we were looking forward to some sleep ready for a cycle ride the next day, followed by a few celebratory cocktails and maybe ... read more

There are thousands of Travel Agencies in Banos that offer Jungle tour. The first one we go to… they were really nice and they spoke English. So we kinda got excited and scheduled a trip with them! So the next morning we were off with our fabulous tour guide, Mario! Who told us to call him Super Mario, which we gladly did! So we left from Banos to Puyo, which is about an hour and a half drive?! The most beautiful drive ever and I had the best view; Super Mario got me a front row seat in the bus so I could see everything. Anyways when we got there we got some food supplies, because we needed to cook for ourselves in the Jungle, and when I say ourselves I mean Mario. He’s such a ... read more

Before you begin reading I’ll let you know that this is a very long blog so scroll down and gauge if you got the rocks to handle it haha. I woke up with one of the most ground-shaking hangovers that I’ve had in a long time. I was also in the wrong bed in our hostel and fully clothed haha. We had 30 min to get ready because our ride left for the jungle at 9am and it was 8:30am. So in a half-drunken haze I showered and packed for a 3 day trip to the jungle. We got there 10 min late but it was all good cause the ride wasn’t there yet anyways. We met our tour guide, Mareitza, who turned out to be a really sweet woman and an AMAZING cook. We ... read more

Last week we decided to do a jungle trip to the Ecuadorian amazon outside the city of Puyo. We hunted around Banos looking for the best deal in an all inclusive package, and found the right scenario with a company with the help us a good friend named Xavier. We started our trip at 9am, and met with our new group that we shared good times with for the next 3 days. We were lucky enough to be put in a small group of 4 with Denise and Franchesca from Switzerland and our Ecuadorian guide named Marietza. It was a perfect small group, and everything that we could have wished for. After getting in a van, we drove out towards the jungle, and stopped at a couple of waterfalls along the way. The first one was ... read more
