The food in Ecuador was exceptional. Our guides, Sofia Flores from Quito, driver, Freddy immediately took us to experience the flavors of their country. We arrived in Luna Runtun, the adventure spa and it was above expectations. They grow their own vegetable using natural, organic methods. Which fits the country and the folks you meet. They are natural and organic.
Our guides, Sofia Flores and Freddy, organized through Carmen at Luna Runtun near Banos, Ecuador, provided an excellent experience with their knowledge and personalities. We experienced the Pan American Highway through the farmland and high country happily landing in Cuenca safe and sound. It was May Day. Big stuff and lots of traffic.
Our digs were the Santa Lucia. An old governor's home turned hotel. Colonial and quaint - what I was hoping for on this trip. We watched daily as the food was being harvested and purchased at market. The doors open to the kitchens, pots in use. The Indians of the highlands brought color to the landscape with a brightness not seen in our natural dyes.
more to come...
