Getting TO/AROUND: I was told, in Pelileo (near Patate), to wait for a bus to Riobamba. But all the buses from Ba�os that stopped in Pelileo were going to Ambato. So I hopped on a bus to Ambato, and asked to be let off at the Paso Lateral, some kind of transfer point where you can get a bus to anywhere without having to go through Ambato.

The ride from the Paso Lateral to Riobamba took about one and a half hour and cost one dollar. The landscapes were spectacular, especially toward the end: shortly before reaching Riobamba, we drove through a very arid, rocky and foggy area. Truly spooky, almost in a Scottish way.

toonsarah Sun May 11, 2008 09:08 UTC Stunning opening shot, and I like the colourful buildings too (reminded me a little of Manaus). And I agree with Glenn - with some interesting photos like this a page can still be very worthwhile, even if you write less than usual :)	volopolo Wed Apr 23, 2008 02:32 UTC Fantastic photo!
Bwana_Brown Sat Nov 17, 2007 02:12 UTC Oliver, the tips don't have to be long to be fantastic! I admire your adventurous spirit in travelling to OTBP places like Riobamba - and thanks for sharing this amazing spot with us!	ATLC Sat Sep 8, 2007 23:27 UTC What do people do out at twilight? You still made a nice page out of little !
