 me and diablo by lenoreva
Scuba diving and snorkling: great opportunities to snorkel in the Galapagos islands. I have heard is difficult to find a good scuba outfit here though. Would be better to pay more for good quality!
Surfing: I met a few surfers when I was in Bahia de Caraquez. The most popular surfing spots seem to be at Canoa and Montenita.
Horseback riding: A guy affilated with AFS (my exchange program) owned a ranch and a bunch of horses near Quito. He took a group of us riding. As I was the only one with any riding experience, I got stuck with the horse named "Diablo". You can imagine how that went. He would not do anything but gallup. The ride lasted 8 hours and I was sore for weeks afterward! I don't really know any commercial outfits, but the LP guide recommends Ride Ecuador (www.travelecuador.net/ride)r />
White water rafting:
Apparently you can do this on some rivers in the jungle. I read in Marie Claire magazine about some tourists dying as a result of unexperienced guides, so I would be careful with this one. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Beginner... Un debutant by Maillekeul
But be careful, amateurs can be on the dole very easily...
Un des sports nationaux : boire !
Mais attention, les amateurs peuvent vite se retrouver sur la touche...
A good bottle of ron, a bit of Cola and a slime of lemon ... The "Chisme" or also called "Cuba Libre"
Une bonne bouteille de rhum, un peu de Cola et un zest de citron... le "chisme" dis aussi "Cuba Libre" Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: In a bar or a supermarket.... Au bar ou au marcheDirections: After 2 or 3 glasses, it's hard to say where you are and where you go !!! Apres 2 ou 3 verres, il est difficile de dire ou l'on est ou ou l'on va !!!

 Volcan Tungurahua, Ecuador by skullcrusher
No technical climbing gear is needed just good hiking boots, some water, sturdy clothes, and a Gortex jacket for the higher elevations. I always use a trekking pole or two as well, but that's a matter of personal preference. Leave a Comment Theme: ClimbingDirections: It's easily accessable from Banos (which sits at the base of it). Local guides will show you the way if you want to do it on your own - some WILL guide you up. Just ask around.
