Ecuador - Quito y Baños

---

After the ljourney from Mancora by colectivo (this is a hiace which everyone is piled into) as far as a town called Tumbes and then a short journey to the border town Huaquillas, we hopped on the bus in Ecuador to go up to Quito. We arrive 15 hrs later and were naturally very tired. We spent most of the day sleeping. The followin g day we went to the actual point of the Equator and went to a really good museum where they did loads of interesting experiments to prove that the equator should actually be located in Quito, Ecuador.

We left Quito after 2 days and headed to some thermal baths in a town called Baños. Really pretty town which has an active volcano which erupts everynight at around 9pm.



Despues del viaje de Mancora en colectivo hasta Tumbes y un viaje muy corto hasta la frontera de Ecuador-Peru tomamos un bus hasta Quito. Llegamos unos 15 horas despues and estuvemos sin duda muy cansada. Pasamos la mayoria del dia durmiendo. El dia siguiente fuimos al puento del equador en Quito y a un museo muy interesante que nos mostraron como se puede decir que Quito es el lugar del equador.

Dejamos Quito despues de 2 dias para ir a Baños donde hay aguas termas. Es un pueblo muy bonita donde tiene un volcan activa y hay erupciones cada noche a las 9.
