It is a famous spot to see beautiful butterflies and birds. Of course, Mathias wanted to go there :). We did a day trip there and first visited a chocolate farm for me and later went on a small hike. I managed to take a few pictures of some of the butterflies with the tablet, but the birds were just too quick or too far away for the camera :).

Quito surprised us a bit, as it was very clean and organized compared to other South American cities. We went through our usual program of discovering the food in the city :). Quito has a fantastic central market, where locals go to eat for lunch. Of course, this was our spot as well. Between all the meals we strolled around the city, discovering its new and its old parts. On our last night there, we even came upon the military band playing local dance music for the people on the streets! It was so much fun and such a great atmosphere. You won’t ever find this in Germany :).

We would not have thought that it can get even better, but it did. We had the best snorkelling experiences here and the small and tiny port of Isabella was full of wildlife all the time. You could go swimming with rays, sea lions and penguins right there everyday. Read the post Part 2 for more background story.

Yes, that is right. It is one thing we wanted to try on our trip for the first time to see if we like it. Unfortunately Mathias had a cold and could not go, so I tried it on my own. Wonderful!! So different to just snorkelling! We will definitely try this again. Mathias was really sad he could not go. Read the post Part 2 for more background story.

It was all beautifully turquoise blue normally :). Read the post Part 1 to understand the pictures better.
