Ecuador - NOT What We Expected!
Is traveling to Ecuador on your Bucket List? It wasn’t for us, but this small South American country completely blew us away. Stepping into the Amazon jungle, visiting one of the world's most active volcanoes (Cotopaxi), swimming in some of the countless waterfalls and hot springs in the Andes mountains, and cruising off the Pacific coastline to witness the yearly Humpback whale migration, it was definitely a trip for the books. We fell in love with the warm and welcoming people of Ecuador, the environmental diversity, and the natural beauty of the land. Ecuador is the perfect destination for travelers looking to get off the beaten path and experience so much of what South America has to offer.

Ecuador Invited Us!
The cloud forest awaits...
We visited Ecuador once before but quickly realized there was so much more to be discovered in this beautifully diverse South American country. From adventuring through the cloud forests and discovering tiny glass frogs at Mashpi Lodge, to exploring historic Hacienda Zuleta nestled in the Avenue of Volcanoes among ancient ceremonial pyramids, hiking through the rugged landscape of Cuenca dotted with wild alpacas and horses roaming the plains, and participating in an enchanting Shamanic blessing with the Saraguro people in Loja, we feel like we truly have a more complete understanding of this incredible country after this trip.
We are thrilled to have been sponsored by the Ecuador Tourism Board to produce this video, and to help launch the Ecuador Film Residency program for content creators around the world. To find out more about the Ecuador Film Residency click here:

Flying to ECUADOR - Not what I expected! | ECUADOR TRAVEL GUIDE
Flying to Ecuador with new regulations can be confusing, especially leaving Canada with a stop over in the United States and then onto Quito and finally Cuenca Ecuador.
But in some ways was much easier than I expected. I was so thankful to fly to Ecuador with Delta, they had an amazing crew in Toronto who really helped navigate the stopover in the United States as I needed to also meet all of the US restrictions for flying into the United States even though I was only there for 12 hours.
I flew Toronto to Atlanta to Quito and finally a LATAM flight to Cuenca. Normally I would have taken a bus from Quito to Cuenca, which is around $12 but also up to 10+ hours.
I do love buses in Ecuador because you can look out the window, but being inside a bus with so many people for ten hours made me realize a $50 flight from Quito to Cuenca, which takes 45 minutes was smarter.

Featuring a content series per country, The Status Go is an online travel blog providing travel-based content from a solution-oriented perspective to challenging symptoms from MS and other demanding ambitions.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) makes it challenging to keep my balance, walk a trail, hike the mountains, swim in waterfalls, and speak my mind. But why let that stop me? -- Monica Lynne

Don't come to Ecuador until you watch this video. Ecuador's economy is bad, Ecuador is dangerous, a State of Emergency has been declared AGAIN. All signs point to not going to Ecuador, but is that really the case? If you're asking yourself should I visit Ecuador then I want you to remember, there's a reason why Amelia and JP, Don Shader, Mr. Second Passport, Flynn's On The Fly, and myself talk about Ecuador, and it's to help you prepare for anything and everything related to Ecuador.
