The five day five city tour after leaving Quito started with Latacunga and then off to visit the famous Salisquili Market. Then off to Guaranda for our evening stroll. The enchanting Salinas came next heading to Riobamba to catch the highly anticipated and slightly disappointing train ride “El Nariz del Diablo” (The Devils Nose). The actual ride itself was an incredible feat in engineering, but too many gringos for us way up there. In the end though, the only thing worth sharing about that experience are the pictures.
After unpacking and repacking our bags, moving hostels and perfecting my Spanish in asking for rooms, cost, one bed, hot water, ect., we finally landed in Cuenca. Cobble stoned streets, old churches, old fashioned ice cream parlors and to top it off, a hotel room on the third floor with a killer view of the San Francisco church and plaza. My aching shoulders thanks me as I put down my pack… for at least the next few days.
