The post 3 Incredible Facts About The Amazon River appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>The Most Powerful River
The debate over which river holds the title of the longest in the world—the Nile or the Amazon—has seen shifting opinions over the years. However, when it comes to the sheer volume of water it discharges into the ocean, the Amazon River is unrivaled. The Amazon discharges more than the next seven largest rivers combined!
Underwater River
Beneath the flowing waters of the Amazon, there lies another “river” of sorts. It’s a deep, slow-moving subterranean flow called the Hamza River. This underground river, discovered through the analysis of wells drilled by the Brazilian oil company Petrobras, runs parallel to the Amazon River at a depth of nearly 4,000 meters.
Astonishing Diversity of Life
The Amazon River and its surrounding rainforest are home to the most extensive collection of living plants and animal species in the world. Scientists estimate that about one-third of all known species reside in the Amazon Basin. This makes it the most biodiverse ecosystem on Earth!

The largest neo-Gothic church in South America is located in the very heart of Quito. Its construction started all the way back in 1882, but it took over a century for the basilica to be inaugurated, and it’s never been officially completed. If you ever get to visit it, make sure to ascend to the top of the towers and get amazing views of the city.

]]>The post Ecuador’s Top Cities Have So Much to Offer appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>In fact, Ecuador’s two biggest cities of Guayaquil and Quito illustrate these differences so well. Let’s take a look at why.
Guayaquil
Guayaquil is a city of 2.6 million people which is known as “The Pearl of the Pacific.” Located on a port leading into the Guayaquil Bay, this city has tropical vibes and hot temperatures. Here, you can eat the country’s best ceviche, stroll along the water on the Malecon boardwalk and take in a neighborhood like Las Peñas, which conserves some of the most impressive colonial architecture found in the country. This is a warm, active, and vibrant destination!
Quito
Quito, the capital of the country and the home to just over 2 million inhabitants, is geographically close to Guayaquil but so different! Located at over 9,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains, the cool, moderate climate of this city and its indigenous influences give it a very unique vibe. The historical center of the city is arguably the best-preserved in all of the world and was, along with Krakow, the first to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. Run, don’t walk, here!

]]>The post Ecuador’s Lake Quilotoa is Located Within a Giant Volcanic Crater appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Quilotoa is a popular day trip destination from Quito because it’s located three hours away from the capital of Ecuador. You can take a ride on your own, join one of the local tours, or take a bus to Latacunga from Quito and then another one from Latacunga to Quilotoa.
Quilotoa Lake is truly picturesque thanks to its turquoise color, which is the result of dissolved minerals. If you’re thinking of staying for longer than a single day, booking a stay in one of the local hostels and visiting craft workshops in the surrounding area is also an option.
Quilotoa is especially popular with passionate hikers thanks to its many challenging trails. You’ll have to hike for at least half an hour to reach the viewpoint above the lake, but it takes four to five hours to hike along the rim of the crater and enjoy the views at the turquoise waters of the lake.

]]>The post There’s So Much to See in Quito, Ecuador! appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Quito has plenty to see and do, but if you’re looking to get a true glimpse at what the city is like, here are three things that you must do.
Old Town
Quito’s Old Town, which has been immaculately preserved since its days as a splendid center of activity during Ecuador’s period as a Spanish colony, is a place to get lost in. Here, you’ll never get tired of walking through 18th-century roads and visiting small shops and little restaurants.
@diana_carrasco_pazTelefériQo
Quito’s location in the foothills of the Andes Mountains puts it in very close proximity to high mountain peaks. The city’s aerial lift costs only $17 for a round trip ticket that takes you from the city to the Cruz Loma lookout of the Pichincha Volcano, offering spectacular views of the city and hiking experience for those with experience.
It's a gondola lift in Quito, Ecuador, running from the edge of the city centre up the east side of Pichincha Volcano to lookout Cruz Loma. It is one of the highest aerial lifts in the world, rising from 3,117m to 3,945 m. . . 
Demasiado perezoso para escribir un título personal, por lo que obtendrá el primer resultado de Google de Wikipedia Basilica del Voto Nacional
Quito’s main cathedral is a neo-Gothic gem of architecture which was built at the end of the 19th century. The largest example of neo-Gothic architecture in the Americas, visitors can marvel at its cavernous interior or walk to the top of its towers to see panoramic views of Quito.

]]>The post Would You Dare to Ride on the Swing at the End of the World? appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>This tourist attraction, for true adrenaline-junkies, is located at a tiny park at La Casa Del Arbol in Banos. It’s pretty easy to reach this spot by bus, but local tour companies also offer shuttles to this popular destination.
Visit this unique treehouse to take in an incredible view of the surrounding mountains and really feel like you're on top of the world! 
Have you ever seen a swing like this before? 
The swing is positioned 2,600 meters above sea level but don’t let that scare you. Photos make it look much more terrifying than it truly is since you’ll be actually swinging over a steep slope.
Gorgeous mountain views will make it seem like you’re at the edge of the world, but there are guides who can help you buckle up, push your swing, and take amazing photos.
If this experience still seems too extreme, La Casa Del Arbol is worth the visit on its own. Nature surrounding this tiny treehouse is truly stunning, and you can always go for a hike or enjoy some drinks at a tiny café on-site if you’re not in the mood for a swing.
