Well our time in Quito has now come to an end, as we have headed down from the Andes to the Ecuadorian rainforest. After a one-night stop in Baños, we´ll be heading to the small town of Mera tomorrow and from there to an animal rescue centre where we´ll be doing our next stint of volunteering.
The project is called Merazonia (http://www.merazonia.org/). We´ll be helping with tasks such as building trails, constructing animal cages and tending to the organic garden. Our accomodation will be at the centre itself, in the middle of the rainforest, which will be quite a change from being in the middle of a capital city - our wake up call will change from the sound of revving vehicles to the calls of monkeys!
After having much enjoyed our time in Quito, we are now looking forward to a different challenge, ready to roll our sleeves up and get stuck in with some hard work!
