Posing on the shores of the idyllic Laguna San Pablo

This is the largest group we have taken to Ecuador: twenty readers of Third Way who in October 2000 enjoyed a 15-day tour that took in the sierra, the rainforest and the Pacific coast. We sampled some pentecostal worship and witnessed a spine-tingling Mass in the cathedral in Cuenca � but everywhere were surrounded by the extraordinary beauty of God's creation.
�	�	�
	�	It was, agreed several of the party, the best holiday they had ever had (and excellent value besides). 'Every day had something new and different!' wrote one. 'Fantastic' was the judgement of another, who said, 'We packed in a phenomenal amount.' One of our older travellers called it 'a life-changing experience' � and another came home so full of joie de vivre that he went out and bought himself a sports car!
Riding into the hills to take a closer look at the active volcano Tungurahua ('Throat of Fire')	�	�

We hope to take another party of travellers to Ecuador in October. Let us know if you would like to receive more details.
