Reasons to visit your favorite PC volunteer in Ecuador

• Experience big lizards and giant tortoises up close and personal
• You can see for yourself (discover the mystery) where your favorite PC volunteers lives
• Beautiful snowcapped volcanoes
• Incredible hot baths/hot springs at the bases of the volcanoes
• Become familiar with delicious costal food! Mention food from Manabi (the provenance where I live) to any Ecuadorian, and they will say that it has the best food in all of Ecuador. (shrimp, crab, corviche/banana dumplings, ceviche/seafood soup and rich fruits just to name a few)

• The tropical fresh squeezed juices and smoothies are simply delightful.

• You can say you stood on the equator at “La Mitad del Mundo.”
• Whale watching May through October
• You can bargain for colorful jewelry, ornate rugs and indigenous artwork in the largest outdoor market in South America, Otavlo. (bring back a colorful hammock, a must have for afternoon naps)
