|  2 Week Trip Hi Everyone! My boyfriend and I will be leaving for Ecuador hopefully sometime in August. We plan to have a 2 week trip. (I hope that's enough time! :o ) I was thinking of maybe a couple days out on a cruise in the Galapagos then maybe Quito. Though, I do hear that Quito isn't quite safe. Then I was thinking Banos. Can anyone recommend some great colonial towns to get a true experience of the culture in Ecuador? |

| Re: 2 Week Trip I wouldn't recommend Banos right now (August 2006)since Tungurahua volcano is blowing up and the town sits under the volcano. Sure would be an exciting trip if you like active volcanos. Here's a nice view of where the town sits and the volcano above it. http://www.destination360.com/south-...ua-volcano.php I would recommend you visit Otavalo its a beauiful colonial town http://www.destination360.com/south-...own-square.php If you going to the Galapagos Islands fly out of Cuenca which is one of the larger cities near the coast. There's alot to do there and also nearby you can ride the Devils Nose Train http://www.destination360.com/south-...nose-train.php
