Ecuador — trip report, just got back

Ecuador trip report — 14 days

Arrived and got settled quickly. Uber worked great. Hotel was exactly what I needed.

Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Took a day to figure things out.

Days 3-3: Hit my stride. Found my rhythm. The main strip area was the sweet spot.

Prices: $30-60 range. Better deals during the week.

Tips: Don't flash money.

Return? Absolutely — already planning next trip.

First time there was overwhelming but exciting. Second time I knew the ropes and it was 10x smoother. Like most places, experience makes all the difference.

Can anyone comment on the new venues? Planning to go next month.
