Erin & Regan's South American Adventure
Cuenca and Vilcabamba
Hola,
The train dropped us off in Alausi (it does a loop and returns there) and from here we caught a bus to Cuenca where we stayed for a number of days due to Erin feeling sick again. We didn´t actually take any photos in Cuenca until we were leaving. They sell 3 litre bottles of fizzy drink here!
From Cuenca we headed to Loja and then changed buses and headed to Vilcabamba.
We stayed at a really expensive place 2km out of town. It had a pool we didn´t use, but the restaurant was excellent.
The view from the hostal.
The next morning we decided to go for a walk... up another hill... what else would Erin want to do?
We were warned not to take any valuables because a few days earlier some tourists were robbed. So, taking as little as possible we set off. We were joined by Norbert, a German tourist who hadn´t heard the warning and has promised to send us some photos (fingers crossed).
In the meantime here is a view of the hill we climbed. It had a ridgeline walk which was, in places, less than 1/2 a meter wide.
From here it was back to Loja to catch a bus across the border to Piura, Peru.
