Welcome to Our site During our travels through Central and South America Mark and I spent a week in Guamote, Ecuador with Ecotrackers. Ecotrackers is a non-profit organisation which aims to protect the environment and culture of rural communities in Ecuador through community ecotourism and volunteer work. The purpose of this site is to showcase the Guamote Carnival and encourage other travellers to visit the town, which has an amazing weekly market with squealing pigs and brightly coloured materials, and a train station, from which you can ride on the roof down to the Devil´s Nose.

My Volunteer Work with Ecotrackers My Experiences in the Coast of Ecuador With the organisation Ecotrackers I spent two weeks in the Esmeraldas regi on (north coast) of ecuador. I was able to stay in two communities, Bunche and La Tolita. I also spent time in Muisne, Esmeraldas, La Tola, Bourbon and Las Peñas. The following includes a story of my travels and some practical information for transport etc. My time in Bunche Primarily I spent one night (27/2/04) in Muisne and a day at the lovely beach there.

I had the night flight from Amsterdam to Quito, with a stop in Bonaire and Guayaguil. The flight was fine, no delays or turbulence. Before I left I had several times contact with Dr. Maximiliano Moreno (Max, head of Ecotrackers’ projects) by email. I had the address and phone number, so I knew where to go after arriving at Quito Airport on Sunday morning June 17th. I took a taxi to the apartment and just pushed one of the buttons that said Ecotrackers. Max’ daughter was at the apartment and Max came in just after me. He welcomed me with open arms and that’s when I knew everything was going to be great. We chatted for a little while, Max told me all about the different projects they are working on. And he showed me the apartment, the views are wonderful, all around are mounta...
