Living on the equator in the Andes has it's quirks! Loja feels like Melbourne a little, 4 seasons in one day...but descend the mountains and it's as if we are in QLD (minus the coast) - the smells, the temperature, the birds and butterflies. In the space of half an hour it feels like we've done the 10 hour drive up north! So, when we need some holiday feeling it just requires a little drive down the mountains.
On the way back from hot, humid Guayaquil we came home via chilly Las Cajas National Park (over 4000m) then back down to Loja at 2100m!

4000m sounds awfully high, how do you breath up there?
