On the road to Vilcabamba and Izhcayluma

Well, we are back in Cuenca. We had such a great time in Vilcabamba we decided to stay an extra night. The trip there was longer than we thought, 5 hours to Loja and then another bus to Vilcabamba, one hour more. As you can see from the few shots below it was beautiful, and of course pictures do not do it justice. We arrived at our hosteria, Iczcayluma around 3 o'clock and had a late lunch.

We checked out things to do. Hiking, horseback riding and massage. Sounds good to us. There were 6 different hikes at varying degrees of difficulty. We decided to do a "moderate" difficulty one the next day. Stay tuned for upcoming posts: hiking and extreme horseback riding.


On our way ... nothin but beautiful Ecuadorian scenery.
