Reverse Quilotoa Loop

December 20, 2019

quilotoa loop, the laguna

Solo, I completed the Quilotoa Loop, 3 day trek in what is known as reverse.  I started in Quilotoa (without having to spend the night in Latacunga) and finished in Sigchos.

If you’re a visual person this blog serves as a visual guide to help you find your way. The photos of the signs and paths that I took throughout my trek (and the purpose of this blog) will be of benefit to you. The images and comments will keep you on the right path, when the change of direction is not obvious, and save you heading in the wrong direction.

Luxor-Gateway to: Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple

July 12, 2018

Luxor

Luxor is the modern name for the city sitting on top of what used to be the Pharaoh’s capital, Thebes (16th-11th centuries). It’s on the east side of the Nile in the southern part of Egypt and is the gateway to Valley of the Kings.
