Andean Ecuador: map from Sandfords 1912
This is alternative January itinerary, this time leaving out Peru.
Why? Because the border crossing, from what I read, at the point at which I would like to cross just south of Loja, is pretty awful: by bus you cross at night , at 2 am, and the buses are pretty ghastly. Better, therefore, to focus on Ecuador, that means less lugging stuff around, a simpler timetable and more energy spent concentrating on painting.
From north to south, circled on the map:
Quito
Latacunga
Riobamba
Guamote
Cuenca
Loja.
