We are a Canadian couple flying to Quito in October (2013). We are hoping to stay in South America for 3 - 6 months. Our question is about our return flight? When our plans are a bit open-ended, do we have to have a return flight to Canada from ...

Hmmm, good question. Are you in Vancouver now? If so, I suggest you call Senior Etienne E. V. Walter, the consulate general, and ask for his advice. He has been very helpful with us. (604 299 6600) Read More

Thanks DeansDad, I'll probably take you up on the name of your car rental guy. Sounds like you had a great experience. Makes me even more impatient to get going. One thing that's a bit different in our situation from yours is that it sounds like ... Read More

DeansDad, Sorry for the slow response but thanks so much for your detailed accounting of your 5 week Ecuador adventure. Awesome! I like that you rented a car and did road trips. Despite the negative things I've read about doing so I'm still bent ... Read More
