Cuenca, Guayaquil and Vilcabamba

---

I did not spend too much time in Guayaquil (just one night - did not fancy being in a huge city for too long- largest in Ecuador) and was not well in Cuenca so did not do much sightseeing there.

Vilcabamba was superb and just what I needed - total R&R... I guess it isn't called the Valley of Longevity for nothing - as soon as you come through this place you feel relaxed... it was brilliant looking through my guide book and seeing no sights and activities to do other than take in the view and go for a massage.

Sigh... perfecto..

Panama hats
Ecuadorians have patiently accepted the fact that few people know that the Panama hat is originally from Cuenca...

Iguana Park
I was taking a picture of a church when something caught the corner of my eye...

But wait, there's more!
The whole Parque Seminario was Filled with these iguanas just wandering around.
