I was lucky enough to have Jackie as a guide. She was a wonderful way to get to know ecuador. I needed to go to Cuenca and had no idea what was in between, i booked with Wanderbus because i love the idea of a long distance hop on hop off assuming I would have to research things along the way. instead what i got was a great driver and a world class guide, illuminating so many cultural and geographical wonders along the way.

This was an amazing experience with Wanderbus. We had a Taller de Tejido Waorani (traditional weaving workshop) with two women from the Amazonia who taught us the whole process of weaving. They showed us how to get the fiber from a plant called chandira, how to colour it, how to make the threads and do the bracelets and necklaces.
