Some of Our Favorite Travel Videos We Think Other Travelers Would Love



Our Travel Gear:

Western Dynamics 4 TB external hard drive. This let's you save your pictures and videos from your SD cards while you travel without having to use a computer.


Manfrotto Tripods: We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.


Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Ecuador - NOT What We Expected!

Is traveling to Ecuador on your Bucket List? It wasn’t for us, but this small South American country completely blew us away. Stepping into the Amazon jungle, visiting one of the world's most active volcanoes (Cotopaxi), swimming in some of the countless waterfalls and hot springs in the Andes mountains, and cruising off the Pacific coastline to witness the yearly Humpback whale migration, it was definitely a trip for the books. We fell in love with the warm and welcoming people of Ecuador, the environmental diversity, and the natural beauty of the land. Ecuador is the perfect destination for travelers looking to get off the beaten path and experience so much of what South America has to offer.

Why I Am Banned From 20 Countries

Ecuador ☀kurz erklärt☀ | Eindrücke und Fakten

Ecuadorreisen sind eine spannende Mischung aus Natur pur und dem Erleben faszinierender Kultur. Weltbekannt ist natürlich das Galapagos-Archipel, ein weltweit einzigartiges Ökosystem und die Heimat von über 100 Jahre alten Riesenschildkröten, roten Klippenkrabben und zahlreichen Seelöwen und Leguanen.
Aber auch auf dem ecuadorianischen Festland können Sie die artenreiche Vielfalt des Landes erkunden. Auf Kanutouren durch das dicht bewachsene Amazonasgebiet erleben Sie unter anderem den rosa Flussdelfin und verschiedenste Affenarten hautnah. Durchwandern Sie die Anden Ecuadors und erkunden Sie die wunderschöne Berg- und Vulkanlandschaft. Der Cotopaxi ist mit seinen 5897 Metern zwar nur der zweithöchste Berg in Ecuador, zählt aber weltweit als der höchste aktive Vulkan.

Die kolonialen Städte Ecuadors laden zum Entdecken ein! Die Hauptstadt Quito gilt als höchstgelegene Hauptstadt der Welt und deren Altstadt ist die erste UNESCO Weltkulturerbestätte in Ecuador. Die Kolonialstadt Cuenca fasziniert mir ihren bunten Gebäudefassaden und den engen Kopfsteinpflasterstraßen. Hier herrscht eine entspannte und gemütliche Atmosphäre und die Einwohner des kleinen Ortes sind bekannt für ihre einladende Freundlichkeit.

Attempting to Walk a Straight Line on the Equator in Quito Ecuador

Supposedly on the equator there are conflicting gravitational forces that full both North and South, making it difficult to walk a straight line on the equator. We're skeptical but attempted to walk the equator line in Quito Ecuador and as you can see we had a very difficult time and failed. We did this arms out, eyes closed, heal to toe. No, we hadn't been drinking.

Discover Ecuador - Unravel Travel TV

Ecuador is located on the equatorial line in northwestern South America, bordering the Pacific Ocean to the west, Colombia to the north, and Peru to the south and east.

There are endless reasons to take a trip to Ecuador - listed below are 15 of the most compelling ones:

1. Four regions in one country: though relatively tiny, Ecuador boasts the world treasure of the Galapagos Islands, the warm and sunny Pacific coast, the majestic Andes mountain range, the Amazonian rain forest.

2. A nature lover's paradise: Ecuador is one of 17 countries in the world classified as megadiverse by UNESCO, with an incredible variety of birds, mammals and orchids. In fact Ecuador is the most megadiverse country per square kilometre in that list.

3. Ethnic diversity: home to 17 distinct indigenous groups and 27 different ethnic groups, many of which preserve their languages, traditions, and dress to a remarkable degree, Ecuador is a multicultural wonder.

4. A birdwatcher´s dream come true: with 1,640 species of birds (a world record per square meter) and 132 species of hummingbirds alone, Ecuador is unquestionably one of the worlds' best birding destinations.

5. Geography and history: with historic haciendas, ethnographic museums, art galleries, and the Middle of the World monument, Ecuador possesses a fascinating historical legacy.

6. Unique and delicious cuisine: in Ecuador you can taste flavors from the highlands locro (potato cheese soup) to the refreshing shrimp ceviche (marinated seafood cocktail) of the coast.

7. The Galapagos Islands: recognized in 1978 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the archipelago is home to a stunning volcanic landscape, turquoise waters, and hundreds of endemic species.

8. The Amazon Region: within the dense green vegetation of Ecuadorean Amazon can be found and an abundance of unique flora and fauna, along with an opportunity for unforgettable adventure. Thirty percent of Ecuador's Amazon jungle basin is made up of natural parks and reserves

9. Cayambe Volcano: at 4690 meters, Cayambe is the highest point in the world to cross the equator. It is also the only snowcapped place that crosses the equator. The hike to the highest peak has been a favorite since Edward Whymper first reached it in 1880.

10. Cultural Heritage: both Cuenca and Quito have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO and offer a variety of activities for visitors, including museums, art galleries, antique shops, fine restaurants and coffee shops.

11. An endless array of adventures: only in Ecuador can you climb the tallest active volcano in the world, kayak the rapids of the Amazon rainforest, and crisscross the Equatorial line on horseback, all in one trip. You can enjoy 19 that can mix Adventure, Wildlife, Culture, Community in just than 2 hours from the main cities.

12. An example in sustainable tourism: conservation and responsible tourism is a priority in Ecuador, and travelers have plenty of opportunities to contribute to the local economy and be active participants in the growth of ecotourism projects.

13. Eternal spring-like weather: Ecuador enjoys mild spring-like weather conditions year-round, creating an ideal environment for the country's rich fauna and flora to flourish and its people to enjoy a laid-back lifestyle.

Galapagos Islands National Geographic Expeditions | (Ecuador) Our Awesome Planet Vlog (Part I)

Galapagos Islands National Geographic Expeditions | (Ecuador) Our Awesome Planet Vlog (Part I)
In Part 1, Todd and Tuliyani head out to the Galapagos with National Geographic on one of their ships, the Endeavor II. The first few days are filled with activities and getting to know what the Galapagos can offer. They visit the islands of San Cristobal, Española, Floreana, and Santa Cruz.

Welcome to the Galapagos, an archipelago full of unique biota and rare animals. These islands are a part of Ecuador and located about 1000 km outside of South America. Darwin made the Galapagos famous when he stepped foot onto its shores and developed his theory of natural selection, changing the way we understand evolution.

On the Islands of the Galapagos live several fearless animals who have never known any predators. To preserve their innocence, it is important to save the environment that the animals live in and the best way to do so is to educate the world about such a rare location.

Watch as Todd and Tuliyani experience the Galapagos aboard the National Geographic Endeavor II and witness animals behave like they’ve never seen before.

It’s an eventful first few days that leaves them at awe that such a place exists: marine iguanas that blend in with the rocks, sea lion pups that are just as playful as dogs and mockingbirds that steal whatever they can get.

Visit Ecuador to Find the Closest Point to Space & the Sun!! [4K]

Today we are flying to Ecuador, in 4K!! Ecuador is a country that is located on the equator on South America's west coast!!

If you didn't already know, the equator is the line on globes/maps that wrap around the earth, signifying the equal distance from the north and south poles!! Ecuador is at zero latitude, which means it's in the very middle of the world!!

Ecuador is also home to the mountain peak that is the closest point on earth to space and the sun!! It's name is Mount Chimborazo!! It is an inactive stratovolcano that last erupted about 1400 years ago!! The peak of Chimborazo is covered in glaciers, and as they melt, they provide water to Ecuador!! Ecuadorians also mine the glaciers and sell the ice!! Now that's some cold hard profit!!

Ecuador is also home to a portion of the Amazon jungle, the Amazon river, the Andes, and the Galápagos Islands!! Diverse, beautiful, and an all around life changing vacation spot!! Who DOESN'T want to stand in the very middle of the earth?? How fun!!
