- In February I went to Ecuador for a months long solo trip. I spent an entire month exploring as much of the country I could. From the Amazon rainforest to the cloud forests of Mindo, hiking in the Andes and visiting the Galapagos, As well as exploring the culture rich city of Quito. This video highlights all the things I did in the wonderful country of Ecuador.

Would you rather experience the Amazon or the Galapagos?
Galapagos because of the diving
Amazon, but you're selling me on the Galapagos! Cool video.
@@kevinratliff3524 Amazon was amazing I wish I’d stayed longer and next time need a longer camera lense for all those birds. Thanks for watching
Tough question. Perhaps the Amazon, but I’d still be thinking about the Galapagos
Both 😆😁 but if I reallly had to choose. Amazon!
I am an Ecuadorian who lives in the U.S. I just want to thank you for the excellent video about Ecuador. I know some of those places. I am glad you enjoyed this country. Congratulations
You're very welcome!
Definitivamente Ecuador es un país muy hermoso, sus paisajes son increíbles, la arquitectura impresionante,la gastronomía deliciosa.......... saludos 🇩🇰🇧🇻🇩🇪🇪🇨
Ecuadorian Amazon was the most magical place I’ve ever been. Colombia is incredible also.
I certainly want to visit Columbia too
Ecuador mi país 🇪🇨👋🏿, Buen video me Encanto.
Just got to Cuenca and will be living here for at least 2 years, if my retirement visa comes through. It's a very good central location to call home as I attempt to "trace your footsteps". Thanks for setting the guide ropes for me🙂 Subscribed!
Thanks so much enjoy Ecuador!
I also spent a whole month in Ecuador and its one of my favorite countries I’ve ever been to!! Great video ❤
Looks an amazing country.
Alice , thank you for showing our beautiful country to the world.
Ecuador is incredible, mani things to see but the best is the people and food. Great video.
Thanks Pablo yes the people were fabulous and I loved the food and could really go for Locro de papas now that you just reminded me.
Just learned of your channel after we hit send to pay for a two month trip to Ecuador. Your videos are a perfect resource for us in preparing stay in Ecuador. Can't wait. Thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad to hear that. You will love it
I appreciate all the effort you put into sharing your life with everyone! You are simply an awesome human being! God bless and keep on keeping on girl!!
Thanks for visiting my beautiful country! I am so blessed to live here and experience all of it every day and i love it!
WOW!!!!!
I'll sure watch them all
Look at that plane! What an adventure! Viva Ecuador!
Wow. You made a great compilation of what there is tondo in Ecuador. So many places left to see, like the coast side and the small towns with their specialties like leathers, foods, bizcochos and all of their lagoons!
wow wow what a beautiful place Ecuador 😊 thanks for your effort
Thank you for sharing our beautiful country. 🇪🇨 Great video indeed.
Great video, Brings back so many memories! I spent a couple weeks living with the Sarayaku in 2016 I’m pretty sure that’s the same runway right by the Sarayaku land. Spending that time in the rainforest was definitely a life changing experience
Amazing guide!!
What an awesome video! I went several times to South America (Peru to be specific) and explored the Incan ruins, the amazon, culture, etc. It is by far my number 1 in best adventure I ever went. I don't know what specifically makes it the best for me, but I guess id have to say it was the solidarity, stillness and humbling experience one can absorb being in those types of countries. Also the trip feeling like a whole meditation journey.
All I can say is the moment I returned to the states I REALLY took a lot of things for granted but also ended up strangely missing that simpler/minimal life, which South America gave me. As well as helping me notice how much positivity being in the present can be. Im sure Ecuador must have been a blast! Anyways, I'm done writing my novel lol. Subbed! Thanks for sharing! :)
Beautifully filmed trip. You really captured such a variety of different sites.
Great video, once in a lifetime type of experience. I still remember when I did it back in 94.
this vlog was so beautiful and a perfect way to explore options.
This video was such a pleasure to watch: beautiful footage, lovely music, and a great attitude. It makes me look forward to my trip to Ecuador later this year. Thank you!
Hi Alice hope the new year is treating you well.. I'm looking for ward to watching more of the video from your trip just have to get settled in a little better here I'll be looking forward to more
Beautiful content from each region, looks so peaceful and I can't wait to visit my parents country. Thxs for sharing.
I simply love this. I consider myself to be very lucky to be able to live and work in the US, and yet deep inside I miss Ecuador so much, especially during Christmas time... Anyway, great job, as always.
Thanks Andres it’s a wildly beautiful country and I am just as lucky to have been able to see it
It's so easy to idealize the places you visited in this video, and I enjoyed the way you were able to promote this.
Wonderfully shot video ❤
Thought I knew a bit about Ecuador, but I knew nothing about what you experienced on the Amazon. So very well done!! Amazing and intriguing!!!
Bienvenida hermosa, los Ecuatorianos somos personas cálidas… gracias por visitar mi país ❤
si que hermoso no cierto que las touristas les encanatn nuestro pais
Thanks for the great video! I'm going to Ecuador for the first time in August for 2 weeks and i couldn't be more excited!
Quede impresionada con esos paisajes tan lindos ❤
Some day I will make it to South America and I can’t wait! Looked like an amazing adventure ❤️
This was my first trip to South America and it was a great first choice for seeing a Alice of it
Thank you! I watch and take in everything “Ecuador.”❤

What a spectacular trip! Definitely a bucket list experience.
It surely was thank you
Wow sounds like you had an incredible time there!

Thank you so much
So many adventures for a month! Very cool video!
Thankyou
This was beautiful. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you so much for watching
Really enjoyed the video. I have been to almost all those places but it is always good to see them from someone else's view.The editing was very well put together, the photography was great, the music was soothing and your voice was calm and sweet. I am going to watch more videos from your channel.
Thank you Jim I really appreciate that
Thank you was a wonderful video and you are amazing it’s a beautiful country
Thanks for sharing. This was such a beautiful video.
Thank you so much for watching
Cool trip! Thanks for the vid!
As an expat who lives here it’s interesting seeing the view of Ecuador from a tourist that stayed at very high end places like Mashpi. I think you left with a bit of an idealized version of Ecuador, and especially what the reality is like in the Ecuadorian Amazon and the indigenous communities. When you’re away from the tourist lodges and protected areas the amount of illegal mining, oil extraction, and clear cutting is heartbreaking. The indigenous communities are not all as responsible and respectful as the one you visited, and much of the mining and logging is being done by indigenous groups.
Thank you Alice for another great video have a great Xmas and a happy New year
Thank you so much have a great holiday too
You're so brave for going down to the Amazon and then up to the upper highlands and then to the Galapagos. In fact, in just a month you did things I would've never thought I would actually even do as an Ecuadorian in a lifetime. LOL....WOW!! Props to you...I'm very glad you enjoyed Ecuador, Alice. It is indeed a place that has a lot of interesting places to explore and witness very unique stuff. You're very welcome to explore it again, anytime!! Your video is absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you so much. It was certainly a wild and adventurous month
Beautiful videography and video! What an adventure!
Thank you so much
Dear Alice, thank you so much for this video. Im thinking also about going to Ecuador solo for a month and this helped me a lot :)
Glad to hear that. It’s a wonderful place
Thank you Alice 🙂 Merry Christmas 🎄🎅and Happy New Year my friend , stay safe and take care 🙏
Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you too
Great stuff, Alice! I was in Ecuador earlier this year and will be going back in 2023. Didn't expect to enjoy it so much. And from watching your video, I can see there's still a lot to be seen. 🙂
So many wonderful spots to discover in this country where are you headed next year
@@AliceFordAdventures i fell in love with Cuenca and i think it ticks some boxes for me right now so I’ll spend a few months there!
Great video again. You guys are visiting great locations. I'd love to know about the these lovely places in Ecuador. Cool that we are early subscribers, soon you will have thousands. 😊
Thanks you so much it’s a great country
I'm glad 😊 that you had a wonderful time in Ecuador. I traveled to Ecuador in 2022 but my experience was not pleasant. I'll try again someday. Mexico and Colombia are my top 2 Hispanic countries
You visited the most interesting places and yes definitely the Amazon it’s sooo relaxing.
I really tried to find places not everyone else visits glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for this beautiful video! :)
Amazing video and so many places you went to there, my wife whose from Ecuador went to as well back in 2017. Going back with her the end of july to Cotacachi to scout out a place to retire to. I am from the midwest USA, so going to Ecuador was really something. I hope you ate many new foods and drinks, especially humitas. That was my favorite food there, but also a snack kind of thing I think was called cana. Its basically small cane sugar sticks you chew on to get the sugary water out. I may have a sweet tooth lol. We are also planning to go to galapagos this trip too.
Amazing! I love humita and locros de papá so good
The natural variety is really astounding
Oh yes it sure is
@@AliceFordAdventures oh wow, you almost answered in real time
@@AliceFordAdventures I plan to visit this year my friend in Guayaquil and visit some beautiful yet easy places with her, preferably a mountain trek. I can't spend much but it's precious so I am coming from half the earth away. May I have a suggestion please and a rough cost? I'm an experienced trekker!
Alice looks like you had a really great trip. The Amazon or Galapagos tough choice they are both fasinating damn both. Merry Christmas
Awesome video!
Holy Cow, what a BEAUTIFUL VIDEO‼‼ Your time there looks like SO MUCH FUN‼ Thank you for sharing!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Coffee Stipend!!! Epic Sojourn thank you for sharing!

Thank you Ivan I really had a wonderful experience there
WOW... The colours are amazing. I have been to Venezuela once years ago and this is what I remember: Colours! and my background with architecture really did it for me. Amazing footage, especially underwater takes, we should call you Ms Cousteau... 😂 and the time you invested to make these views. Thanks for sharing! Love the hat! 🇨🇦🍷👍😎🏔🥾☕️☯️☮️
Amazing! I too loved Galapagos ! I spent 10 days on Isabela island- most incredible trip
Amazing!
Fui visitar Equador com grupo de amigos. Nos apaixonamos pelas cidades, montanhas, histórias. E tdo mais. Iremos voltar...

Amazing video, Alice! I was in Ecuador probably around the same time you were filming for my own videos and it's great to see familiar and amazing sights in your video too. I really enjoyed Ecuador for the vibrancy of its nature and the color of its people. Truly, an underrated country! Safe travels! Abrazo!

I love the way you travel by yourself and have so much fun.

In S.A. a single woman traveling along is a dog whistle for the rape culture.
