LOCAL HOTEL INFO:
Hey gang...we were originally at another hotel but when the populariity of the add on trip expanded we had to move to the larger but equally safe and vetted Rio Amazones hotel. The address is below:
Cordero 1342 y Amazonas Quito, Pichincha, 17211714, Ecuador, 866 539 8430
Some helpful notes from Amy and Peter who are there aleady...
1. Wifi is good at hotel.
2. You have to call the front desk to turn on the hot water for a shower sometimes.
3. A basic Spanish phrase book is helpful here as not everyone speaks English.
4. Bring earplugs as the hotel area has some nightlife.
When we were there the last time the world cup was in town so I"m sure its not nearly as crazy as it was then.
Thanks for the great tips! Kamala
