Hi, I'm so excited, tickets purchase and my husband and I will be arriving in 2 weeks for a visit to explore Quito and Cuenca. Having said that, I know that are many other beautiful place but for this trip we are concentrating on those areas. My first question is what's it like to rent a car there and the roads from Quito to Cuenca? I've read that by bus it's a 8 hour trip. Were thinking that by renting a car we'll be able to explore more places.
Also would love to meet expats for wine? Beer? Coffee?
Now I'm off to book a hotel for the first few days and from there we'll "wing it"
We are now living in South Carolina, I'm originally from San Diego. We recently completed a second Camino (de Santiago). Starting at the base of the Pyrenees Mountains in France, across Spain, than after busing down to Porto Portugal walking up the coast back to Santiago Spain, whewww 800 miles.
