Our first few nights in Quito we stayed in the hilly San Blas neighborhood, replete with narrow streets, plazas, plenty of stairs, and small inexpensive restaurants. #trekarooing #visitecuador #ecuador #quitoecuador #quito #takeyourkidseverywhere

A rainy day in Quito. Basilica del Voto Nacional is adorned with Ecuadorian turtles, anteaters, and iguanas rather than gargoyles. #trekarooing #quito #quitoecuador #ecuador #visitecuador #takeyourkidseverywhere

A cargo ship transits the Miraflores Locks, one of three original locks finished in 1914 that form the 48-mile Panama Canal which links the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Panama completed new wider locks in 2016. A single large ship might pay a transit toll upwards of $700,000. #trekarooing #visitpanama #panamacanal #mirafloreslocks #takeyourkidseverywhere #familytrip #familytravel #civilengineering

A tree boa outside our room at Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge. Not poisonous, but we did see a poisonous fer de lance pit viper when hiking the next day. #trekarooing #ilviaggiocr #nicuesalifestyle #costarica #visitcostarica #puravida #snake #familytrip #familytravel #takeyourkidseverywhere
