Sep. 2, 2016. Betania Hotel, Zamora, Ecuador
Took a 4:30 AM bus to Cabañas Yanquam - 4 hours along the Rio Nangaritza - hoping something or somebody will be there (going on a vague mention in LP). Lucked out! One guy was there: prepared me a nice breakfast, then took me for a terrific two hour river run, past waterfalls, through gorges, even a stop for some ammonite viewing. $50 (most expensive thingy so far), but well worth it. So many photos & videos!
Four hours by bus back to Zamora, and caught a 5 PM bus to Loja. It is now 8:10, and the bus is stuck a few miles outside Zamora, because of either a landslide or an accident, nobody knows for sure - and nobody knows if/when we'll get moving again...
OK, 4 hours waiting in the bus is enough. Got out and walked back to the Betania Hotel. In bed by 9 - and WiFi uploaded the 400+ photos I'd taken these past few days. Good old Google Photos!
