My Trip to the Jungle in Ecuador

Justin - Ecuador with Kids

At 7:00 a.m. my family and I hopped the bus to an Ecuadorian town in the rainforest called Mindo.

When we got to our hostel we checked in and took a walk around town. We were getting hungry, so we stopped in at a pizza place called “El Tigrillo”. They had a nice brick oven and they made really good pizza.

The next morning we got up and went on a cable car where we could hike to a waterfall. There were lots of birds and butterflies along the way. It took us 3 hours to hike there and back. We even saw a toucan.

As soon as we got back we went to a butterfly garden where there were beautiful owl butterflies and blue morphos that landed on us. After eating a chocolate bar that was made in Mindo we packed up and headed back home.

Black Sand Beaches of St Vincent

Image
We docked up at St Vincent, the largest island in the Grenadines. I visited the Grenadines for my 10th birthday but missed out St Vincent so this was my first time visiting this island. First impressions were good. Sitting on my balcony, I looked at the roughed cliffs that scoured the coastlines, jagged rocks at their feet. Turquoise waves lapped at the fallen rocks. It certainly looked like a wild island which was a relief after visiting overly-commercialised St Lucia. I'd heard that this island had black sand beaches, something which I as yet to witness. The main luxury resort on the island had some white sand imported for its beach which I find terribly sad as the black sand is iconic, has an edge of mystery and is native to the island. The view out my balcony I just can't get enough pictures of our boat We had an excursion booked today called 'Pirates of the Caribbean Tour' where a catamaran took us to some spots along ...
