I love Ecuador!! $25 for a private apartment on some hill. Woke up with all windows shrouded in a cloud. Absolutely surreal! Being able to see the city lights from this angle too was mesmerizing!

@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook Год назад

Hi there thankyou for your amazing comment I can imagine living there already. Did u book in advanced? Which place plz

@@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook it was a recommendation from my Uber driver. I know that they list also on Airbnb. You may want to peruse those in general.

It’s very easy to get altitude meds from your doctor before you leave. Take them 24 hours before and three days after. I live in Cuenca, EC and can’t imagine how it would have been if I had not taken them. It’s a hard enough adjustment living here but for someone who doesn’t have six months to acclimate, you really should bring that prescription before you visit. Not worth ending up sick on your trip. Although it doesn’t affect everyone the same but you don’t know.

@Loreurka 2 года назад

Lived in quito for 3 months, absolutely love this city. Although I got to agree, the weather is super unpredictable. Can’t count the times I got sunburned eventhough I couldn’t feel it on my skin. Be careful!

@woltersworld 2 года назад

So true. The UV nails you without even realizing it

@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook Год назад

Thankyou for your experience- which months do u go there please when u got the sunburnt? Have u been to Vilacabamba?

@chacmool2581 Год назад

Noobie mistake: to think that cloudy and overcast means little or no UV exposure. UV exposure is a greater function of elevation and angle of incidence rather than cloud cover. Your bad.

@ellen8253 2 года назад

Visited Ecuador for 9 days in March. Absolutely LOVED my time there. Hope to get back there next year and see more

@marcielston3019 7 месяцев назад

I didn't sleep the entire four days I was there. Woke up gasping after two hours, and totally dehydrated from breathing faster. So glad to get back to a lower altitude.

@theodoresmith5272 2 года назад

Quito was where I started in south america. Very pretty old city. Very cool central park. Banos is not to be missed. Mindo is awesome nature. Cuenca is really cool.

@ILYRJ18 2 года назад

I miss Ecuador so much. I backpacked Ecuador for a month in 2018. I’d love to go back and explore more now that I have a son and give him the same experience. P.s I loved the weather and the random rain pours I’d get stuck in. I’m also from California so we don’t get a lot of it. Lol thanks for the video mark I always enjoy watching even if it’s of a place I’ve been to before.

@fredhaight3088 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for including the bad as well as the good. I watched several videos on Quito. All of them looked good, and I was considering a visit. None of them mentioned the problem with the altitude. Your opening warning dissuaded me. It's too bad, but it would have went badly.

@norarodriguez3125 Год назад

Thank you for this video about Quito 😊 I really enjoy all your videos, but it’s extra special to see this video about my parents’ hometown (I was born & raised in California.) Since most of my extended family live in Quito, I’m lucky to have visited many times, and even lived there for 1 year with my mom when I was in the 4th grade, since my parents wanted me to be fully bilingual. It’s a special city, with the beautiful old town and very modern areas as well. I’m just super grateful whenever I see Ecuador publicised since it tends to be overlooked compared to other more popular South American destinations like Brazil and Peru.

@maribelcevallos9374 Год назад

I’m from Quito and live in the UK, oh how I miss Quito’s weather, unpredictable but you know for sure it won’t be extreme heat nor cold, never below zeros, never sticky, in Quito you always know you’ll soon see the sun no matter what. But do wear sunscreen! I do take pictures inside churches 😬 they have never stopped me, just without a flash.

@Aquavitae81 Год назад

Lived in Quito for 3 years and if you want to safely cross the street... 3:30 Follow the local stray dogs. When they cross, you're right on their tail. Pun intended. Also crossing the street is like playing real life Frogger. Just move one space. Also Naranjilla is the best juice mix you can get frozen IMO.

@stephenr115 2 года назад

Might consider getting an RX and rent portable O2 machine; battery operated and cand really help. Again it takes an RX but often you can vet an on line RX. Manchu Pichu is an almost mandatory regardless of health. I always advise part of travel gear a pulse O2 reader. Cheap less than 20 bucks. I had pneumonia in Colorado once didn’t realize it and barely made t to hospital and collapsed in arms of Doctors. My pulse Ox in low 50’s. So if you are a smoker past smoker, husky etc. consider getting portable O2 machine small, battery charge lasts long time and if you have good health insurance it may be paid for. Beware of sleep apnea. They now have fist side machines. I forgot my cord on a recent trip and suffered. It is amazing how much easier it is to hike with supplemental O2

@chloe5susan Год назад

Any suggestions? Like on Amazon??or where?

@stephenr115 Год назад

Amazon for pulse ox finger device, your doctor for O2 RX, sleep apnea requires a test and new machines small

@hassanalihusseini1717 2 года назад

Again a video that wants me to visit that place. It must be a beautiful country. But: The thing with the Corioiis effect is a fake (Physicist here 🙂). The difference is much much to small to have a measurable effect. I bet that they had the same thing in the older museum that was not exactly on the equator.... The shape of the pool or bath tub has a much greater influence.

Hey! This is the first video I've seen on this topic. I would like to ask you a question, I would like to live in Quito but I have been told that at night the streets of the capital are deserted, except La Mariscal of course, is that true? And also, I wanted to know if there are neighborhoods to avoid for a single woman in the evening because I really like to walk around and visit in the evening but apparently it's complicated too... Thanks you 😁

@simonboucher672 2 года назад

I would advise you to avoid walking by yourself after 7pm in pretty much every neighborhood except for La Mariscal, La Floresta, or east of Park Carolina. In the Centro Historico or barrio Americana, the street are completely empty after sunset and the vibe is quite creepy.

Due to altitude, would it be a bad idea to bring an infant baby?

@woltersworld Год назад

I'm not a doctor so I can't say 100% but we saw plenty of babies in Quito and it's about double the elevation of Denver. I would just ask the pediatrician real quick as one of our kids did get a bit of altitude sickness (but that was at a higher elevation) in quito we were all pretty good. But the kids weren't babies then
