You may have been wondering why there are hardly any photos on our website. Honestly, so were we. Over the last few years and especially the last few months we have been able to collect a lot of great photos in Ecuador.

Quito will be opening a new bus terminal this July in the Quitumbe area. The new station will replace the old terminal,  which has been running for the past 60 years.  The structure and design are state of the art, featuring a deck hung with the support of the steal cables in place of the concrete deck found at the old terminal.
