New Years Eve on the Equator in Ecuador...INTERESTED???????
 

i have the hotel guachala at Cayambe "oldest hacienda in Ecuador" - [url=http://www.guachala.com]Hacienda Guachal

The idea came up while sitting around in a hammock in Monterrico Guatemala so... it has to be a good idea :P

Yeah, let's get together Equator!

possibly two more riders joining us already, so that makes six so far

What sort of prices are you looking at for beer food and accom? Ride safe.

its around $40 or so for a room, food is up to you, there are a few restaurants close by and a supermarket (very small, from memory) about 5 miles away, try and find another rider to split your costs

its a very cool place photos really do not do it justice at all

its about 2 kms from here

I got a free dry spot to sleep in the old church as long as I bought my food from the resturant.

The guy running the equator point runs the old hacienda and is a real nice fellow.

If you are looking for a fabulous New Year's Day meal I would go to this little place right down or up(I can't remember just watch for the signs) the Pan Am from the hacienda. I forget the name of the place but it's sign has the colors of a Holstein cow and is on the West side of the highway not too far from the equator you will find this place.

Wonderful food!

It's a shame I won't be around there to meet you guys, I am from Cayambe. I hope you'll have a nice time if you meet in Guachala hacienda, it's a nice place.
For a nice ride, I would go to the hot springs in Oyacachi (following the road towards and through Cangahua), about one and a half hours ride from the Hacienda. Easy ride to that indian town.:scooter:

I might be there. I will see how I go!

good you are on the boat with us so we can talk about it...how far south have you got?

Hola,
I'm a french biker, with a little 250 Tornado.
I'm heading to Equador, actually in Cajamarca in Peru.
I find it's a nice idea, the new year on equator.
Perhaps I'll try to join you.
I'll give more details when I arrive near Cayambe.
Suerte

.../... : I'm sorry, my english is very bad, y mi espanol tambien !

for sure show up, there could be as many as 15 riders there or as little as two, but no matter what it'll be a party beer

I'm allways OK for a party !
