Another poster( a long time ago) mentioned there were two "chongos" on the outskirts of town. Ask a cabbie.

*Chongos are brothels by the way.

Thanks for the warning.

Alot of ecuadorians have family in america and they use the dollar. We are basically useless mongers to them.

Michael 1967 is a real sport. He sent me the majority of this information via pm on his own will. It made missing my trip a little more bearable.

Thanks

Thanks! It's not me its my doctor. I just went to ask him for "diamox" then he he told me he wasn't crazy about the idea in general.

Cuenca sounds good though.

My friend in guayaquil says she doesn't get sick when she goes to cuenca only quito. Maybe she is used to it. I believe cuenca is at 8200FT and quito at 9300Ft *roughly.

Has anyone felt sick in...

I was curious to know if you are a backpacker person or did you bring luggage with you on a bus from quito ?

Great report there is alot of ecuador that hasnt yet been discovered and its cheap.

My report #652 in the quito forum has info for chongos in those areas. I have no idea how to bring it over to this forum sorry. Maybe someone can help.
I did not have the chance to visit these...
