Fun times with Ecuadorian inefficiencies, snow-capped volcanos, joyous salsa, home-made explosive devices, semi-permanent mountain roads, upset Italians on the Devil’s Nose railway and avalanche-aware cattle on the way to cold waves and new songs at Montanita.

All text written, read and recorded by James Whiley.
