travel notes from each of the cities, towns and places I have visited.

Baños and Ambato

Banos, Ecuador Banos
If you like waterfalls and hotsprings, want to see some animals from the Amazon, or just miss seeing Europeans around, Baños is the place to be. High in the Andes, it is known as the "Gateway to the Amazon". Also near the northern foot of the active volcano Tungurahua, countless restaurants serving roast chicken on one street was what we found at Ambato.
