Ecuador is one of the most diverse countries in the world though it's comparably tiny. Beside the Galapagos Islands (which is the #1 tourist destination in Ecuador) the country has a lot more to offer, therefore I focussed on La Sierra in this video which is a paradise for landscape lovers and outdoor adventurers.
Another reason to visit the Andean region is that you have the chance to dive into the local culture and get a real feeling of Ecuador. The places to see in Ecuador I focussed on in this short video are the result of my own travels along the center from north to south and are easily doable in 2 weeks time.
Things to do in Ecuador covered in this video:
01) 00:36 - Otavalo market in Otavalo
02) 01:00 - Hike the Cuicocha lake
03) 01:25 - Middle of the World, Mitad del Mundo & Quitsato in Cayambe
04) 01:48 - Quito, capital & UNESCO World Heritage
05) 02:08 - Termas de Papallacta (hot springs)
06) 02:24 - Cayambe Coca National Park
07) 02:45 - Quilotoa & Shalala viewpoint
08) 03:13 - Tren Crucero & Nariz del Diablo (Devil's nose)
09) 03:47 - Inka ruins in Ingapirca
10) 04:04 - Cuenca & it's beautiful old town

San Miguel de Allende vs Cuenca - Vlog 13 (Cost of Living, Safety, Walkability, Food & More)
We recently spent some time in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and loved it. It's very similar to our home of Cuenca, Ecuador in many ways. But, there are some key differences which we highlight in this video.
Thanks a bunch to Ian who has been living in SMA for 2.5 years for helping with the interview and just being a great host in general.

Visit Ecuador - Tipping in Ecuador Explained
How much do I tip in Ecuador? Do I even tip while I am in Ecuador? Yes, you do tip when you visit Ecuador. Here are some of the times and amounts you should tip when you travel to Ecuador. Of note the official currency of Ecuador is the US Dollar, and of course tipping is a personal decision, but in a country like Ecuador tips (even small tips) can make a major impact for your service staff.
Restaurants: Taxes and Service are usually included in the bill or the price of your food. However, not all restaurants put the service and tax on. Your best bet is to tip an additional 5% on top of the final bill. Leave the tip as cash to make it easier for the waiter. You also make sure the waiter gets the money and do not just leave the tip on the table and leave.
Tour Guides: Tours in Ecuador are great and we have found Ecuador to have some of the best guides around. You tip about $10 per day per person for a full day tour. About $5-8 per day per person for a half day tour.
Tour Drivers: You tour driver receives about half of what you tip your tour guide. Typically about $5 per person per day.
Taxis: You do not tip taxis in Ecuador. You pay the fair that is displayed on your meter. Make sure you use only official taxis. So ask your hotel to call one for you if you do need one. You can round up the bill to the next 50 cents or $1.00 to make it easier with change.
Hotel Cleaning Staff: Leave $2-$5 per day on the bed when you leave for the day. This significantly helps the cleaning staff and we have found leads to a very tidy room and even more helpful service. Leave closer to $5 if you have a bigger room or a family room.

What did I really think of the Mayan Baths? 😅
It was a fun day, don't get me wrong, and I got to relax and recharge with a new friend who joined me for the spa and massage package, but this spa outside of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico was not realllllly worth the price they charge. It was 2,700 pesos (equates to $136 USD) which is EXPENSIVE for Mexico, no matter how bougie the place is. Trust me, it wasn't worth that when I've personally gotten massages in Mexico for around $35 USD or less.
There are at least 3 spas near SMA so if you're in the area, check out the other ones. The Mayan Baths was really interesting architecturally, but it totally felt like a shakedown for every penny we had 💸. For instance, I had strawberries I bought that morning in my bag and the owner didn't let me even hold onto them and put them in his fridge so I could only access them when we were leaving. You had to buy pretty expensive cocktails all day, and they weren't very strong and we didn't even want to look at the food menu because it would've cost us an arm and a leg probably.
And lastly, they tried requiring me to wire transfer a deposit to hold my reservation when I whatsapp messaged them. I don't have a Mexican bank account, so it would've been a huge pain in my ass to do, and they really didn't even let many people in that day so it didn't seem necessary to be so strict with their reservations. It was nowhere NEAR capacity.
The indoor and outdoor pools 🌊 were the best part, but unless you really need a place to get away from it all, I'd say to skip it. 🙅🏽♀️
Keepin it real, it's ya girl, Maria 🤙🏽
