Amelia and I visited La Casa del Venado, which tra Amelia and I visited La Casa del Venado, which translates to The House of the Deer. It's a magical animal sanctuary nestled in the rolling hills of Ecuador near Cayambe. We were joined by our Ecuadorian friends, Gene and Mateo. Gene was SO excited to to see the small Peruvian deer! While we waited outside the gates, I heard a cat meowing, but couldn't locate it. Upon further inspection, he had been sleeping in the branches of a dense shrub-like tree. After a short chat from the tree, he climbed down and posed for a picture on the grass, still damp from the morning dew. The park greeted us with a menagerie of creatures. Tiny Peruvian deer with velvety coats nibbled on leaves, while majestic emus with dinosaur-like feet strutted about. There were alpacas with fluffy fur, peacocks with iridescent feathers, and bunnies with twitchy noses hopping about. We excitedly fed carrots to the animals and Amelia giggled as the Peruvian deer ate from her hand. The emus gobbled up the treats with the typical mechanical precision of a bird, and one almost snatched Amelia's necklace! We were in awe of the incredible beauty and diversity of the creatures that surrounded us. It was so peaceful and relaxing to roam the grounds, taking in the sights and sounds of the animals. We snapped pictures, marveling at the exotic birds with bright, jewel-like plumage, and the friendly cats that meowed loudly while following us around like dogs. There were several other stops on our itinerary for the day, so we reluctantly said goodbye to the animals and made our way back to the outside world. But we carried with us memories and photos of the magical creatures we had encountered. @lacasadelvenadooficial #ecuadorturistico #ecuadortourism
We recently visited Cotacachi, Ecuador to film a r We recently visited Cotacachi, Ecuador to film a real estate tour for our YouTube channel. This picturesque mountain town is truly mesmerizing and we always enjoy our time there! Nestled between two inactive volcanoes, Cotacachi and Imbabura, the views are simply stunning with clouds forming over the top of the volcanoes. The town is walkable and incredibly clean with bike lanes making it even easier to explore. The town has many restaurants and coffee shops, perfect for taking a break and enjoying the local cuisine. It's also a great place for window shopping, with numerous stores selling handmade items and artisanal crafts. In the center of town, Parque Central is a highlight with its beautiful old church, large palm trees, and colorful flowers. Parque San Francisco also has a church and often vendors selling food and crafts. Cotacachi is a popular destination for expats from the US and Canada because of its affordability and high quality of life for a low cost of living. We can see why they have chosen to make this town their home, as it truly offers everything you could need in a peaceful and beautiful setting. Overall, we had a fantastic time in Cotacachi and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and affordable mountain town with breathtaking views.

We woke up early on a Thursday morning, eager to e We woke up early on a Thursday morning, eager to explore a part of Quito, Ecuador that we had never visited before. Sangolquí is located in Valle de los Chillos, which is a suburb on the southeast corner of the Quito metro area. It was a perfect day to visit this picturesque mountain town, and it greeted us with a bright blue sky and an ideal temperature. The sun was shining, and the air was filled with the sounds of the bustling town. Our first stop was Parque Central, the large square at the center of town where a beautiful white church stood in stark contrast against the blue sky. It was the perfect vantage point to get the flavor of Sangolquí, its people and its colorful architecture. As we continued our tour of the town, we were delighted to find that several of the streets had been converted into pedestrian walkways. This created a European feel, and it was enjoyable to simply stroll and take in the sights. A couple blocks from the church, we stumbled upon Centro Cultural Villa Carmen. The cultural center has a small park with large palm trees and a peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect place to rest and soak in the beauty of Sangolquí. After leaving the park, we noticed two young street musicians playing stringed instruments. They were extremely talented and their music added to the ambiance of the town. Sangolquí is famous for its maíz (corn) and there are several sculptures around town honoring it. In fact, the valley where Sangolquí is located is called Valle de los Chillos in honor of the Chillos corn grown by indigenous people in this area for more than a thousand years. As we made our way towards the weekly outdoor mercado, our senses were overwhelmed by the sights and smells of the local cuisine. The market was a vibrant hub of activity, with vendors selling everything from fresh produce to handmade crafts. However, one of the most memorable experiences of our visit was when we came across a stall selling cacho, or fried worms! Sangolquí is also famous for this delicacy and the elderly lady vendors could be heard yelling "CAAAACHOOOO!!!" throughout the market. [read more in the first comment]

Colombia has been on our list of must-visit places Colombia has been on our list of must-visit places for a long time. So after a lot of research and a few recommendations, we decided to embark on a journey to Medellín. After a relatively short travel day from our home in Ecuador, we arrived in the vibrant neighborhood of El Poblado, with its bustling streets and lively atmosphere. Our AirBnB offered a breathtaking view of the city, allowing us to take in the beauty of Medellín from above. One of the first things we noticed was the abundance of large trees, colorful flowers and plants with enormous leaves. It felt like we were walking through a jungle with a city in it! As we explored the city, we stumbled upon a world of flavors at local restaurants like Kaime, AMA Restaurante, and Florez Food Garden. The food was so delicious that we found ourselves returning to the same places way too many times! We spent our days soaking in the sun on the patios of these restaurants, surrounded by the sounds of people from all over the world speaking different languages. We felt right at home amidst the diversity. As we walked the streets of El Poblado, Sabaneta, Laureles, La Floresta and other areas during our visit, we were impressed by how developed and modern it was. The city is truly special, full of life and energy. Our trip to Medellín was far more surprising and memorable than we expected. And far too short! We left with full hearts, full bellies and a full camera, eager to share our experiences with you. We can't wait to return to this beautiful city and continue our adventures, but next time, we'll stay longer than a week!

When we moved to Manta Ecuador, Amelia and I both When we moved to Manta Ecuador, Amelia and I both fulfilled a dream to live in a highrise condo on the beach with an ocean view. The views from our balcony were breathtaking, and we spent many evenings sitting out there, sipping mocktails and watching the sunset. Flocks of pelicans flew by our balcony regularly, and we loved to watch them glide gracefully through the air. Although we couldn't see the sunrise from our condo, the sunsets over the ocean were truly incredible. We also enjoyed watching kitesurfers on occasion, and even had front-row seats to the swimming portion of the Manta Ironman competition. The high tide was quite loud, especially when it occurred early in the morning, but it was a small price to pay for the amazing ocean views. One of our favorite things to do was walk to the neighborhood mercadito to buy fresh fruits and veggies from Yanki and her family. We also loved to eat at South Indian, a restaurant owned by our friend Ravi. Although we don't live there anymore, the memories of our time in Manta will always hold a special place in our hearts. And we sure miss the views!
