I'm good with itineraries, if I may say so myself; if you're at a loss what to do when and in which order, I could try to help you structure things a bit.
My knowledge is restricted to the southern cone and Andean states. I know very little of Brazil, the Guianas, Venezuela and Colombia.

I have been living, working, and travelling in Ecuador for over two years. I have met countless travellers at my jobs at a popular hostel, the Secret Garden, my job as a guide, and as a bartender at a local ex-pat hangout. I have local contacts for almost anything that one does in Ecuador and can help with bus information, spanish, people and places in different parts of the country. I spend my time helping people who are here or coming here find the things they are looking for.. I would welcome the chance to share what I know with others that are coming this way!
