Active Volcanoes Abound See part one here Banos The view from Casa de Arbol So with the train ride complete we left Alausi in the afternoon and headed off towards Banos. We really struck gold with this journey as the bus company we had originally planned to travel with turned us towards a different company that let us leave earlier. Not only that but the bus route actually took us straight past the end of our road and we were able to hop off there, score! So off we trotted down towards our accommodation to be greeted by Bruno the barking sausage dog, he just barked at us a lot. Our apartment was a small two room flat that had been built on top of another building. We had a simple kitchen and a large back bedroom. The views from here were fantastic and we could see all the way to the Tungurahua volcano. We later discovered that this volcano last erupted in 2014, not that long ago... From here we watched the beautiful sunset before going to bed as it had been a long day. ...

Heading North Upon leaving  Peru , we headed north through Chiclayo to Cuenca where we headed along the Andes and down into Colombia.
