Ecuador
The highlight during the trip to Ecuador was without doubt the week we spent on the Galapagos Islands, but both before and after we were there, we spent some days in mainland Ecuador.
We travelled by bus to Otavalo, an indian village famous for the market which is held every week. They also have a tourist market, open every day. We went to have a look and I bought two knitted ponchos there. A typical thing to buy in South America.

Before we travelled out to Galapagos we spent a day in the capital Quito. Like almost every tourist in Quito we visited the equator monument.
About two hours drive from Cuenca you can find Ingapirca, which is the best preserved Inca ruin in Ecuador. I have been to Peru before and have seen Maccu Picchu, and Ingapirca is not even possible to compare with that, but still it was a nice place to visit. We had lunch there and for dessert I tried tree tomato, which was interesting. It tasted more like a fruit than a tomato.
