Ecuador has some breath-taking scenery and many hidden treasures, some completely overlooked as people head straight to countries like Peru or Colombia. However, a quick google search of Ecuador's highlights will bring up images of a turquoise coloured lake sat in the middle of a crater. A lake in a crater!?

Hi we're Chris and P. We have quit our jobs and sold our house to follow our dream of travelling around the world for 12 months!!! Let’s jump back about 2 years - We're driving to P's friend’s house for an evening meal when she turns and says "I've been thinking..." And what a thought that was indeed. That thought turned into buying a dilapidated property and spending a total of 2 years 'doing it up' ourselves coupled with a new job and a wedding thrown into the mix for good measure. We even questioned ourselves at times on whether travelling would actually become a reality or be j... full info

Dog sitting
So glad to hear Nala got back home safely :) We love it when dogs adopt us on walks as we love their company, but an added bonus is that they help to keep the not-so-friendly dogs away. What a climbing adventure you had. Glad you found a safe path!

We were always worried about Nala, we just wanted her to get back home "not pregnant". When travelling we're always worried about stroking foreign dogs due to the western fear of 'rabies' but it was nice having the dogs around, it made us really miss our own dog back home.

Where were those dogs when you needed them?
How great that you did part of the Quilotoa trek and saw that beautiful crater. I'm hoping to do it too, but was dismayed to see that you got on the wrong and very scary trail even with your guide dogs and GPS--yikes! But it sounds like a lovely adventure. And I love that you got Nala to her owners!

Re: Where were those dogs...
The trek and the lake was amazing apart from being on the wrong path. Problem with GPS on the phone is that our position is to the nearest 5m which isn't much, unless the path we need is 5m above us! Ah well, all a part of the adventure. You really should get out and see it when you have the chance...maybe not the same trek as us though haha
