Three days ago I reached Vilcabamba – a cute little town in the south of Ecuador surrounded by impressing mountain tops. I decided to stay a little bit outside of the village in the Hostal Izhcayluma. It’s run by Germans and is just perfect to relax and hang around…

A trip to Ecuador is not complete without a visit of its highest volcano Chimborazo. On the top (at 6286m) you’re actually the closest you can get to the sun while still standing on planet earth. This is due to its location near to the equator.
