In a country with as much history as Ecuador, it seemed only right for Brel to spend the night in the oldest hacienda, 400 year-old La Guachala.
Amidst our antique furniture, we easily slipped into the roles of the pioneers. Brendan built us a fire. Mel considered baking some bread. And oh yea, we watched movies on the laptop because it was too cold to go outside. We´re pretty sure the pioneers would have done the same thing though, had it been an option.
