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!

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

Stocking up on fresh pineapples in the market at Machachi
Embarking in a motorised canoe for an exhilarating cruise
up the Rio Napo

Approaching the hair-raising switchback of the Devil's Nose
� on the roof of the train

The comfortable but unmistakeably local bus that took us
through a 4,180-metre pass over the Andes

The sun sets behind the cathedral in Cuenca, a World
Heritage Site and the mellowest city in Ecuador
