Thanks a lot, Jim — Joy and I really liked our time at the seminar in Quito a couple years ago, and are looking at moving to Cotacachi area early in 2020. We hope to see a bit of the wetter climate to contrast with the gorgeous late July early August in Quito. I was thinking of no better way to get started than “localizing” with a bus ride, then getting a taxi from the Cota station to our airbnb residence.

John – we stayed at Stubel Suites & Cafe just 1km from the business district and Swissotel. We got the hotel through Booking.com for around $80/night incl tax. A private driver, Julio, is available with a little advance notice arranged by the desk, or perhaps even if you are in the lobby around 7am. He just showed up the morning we were looking to go checkout the equator. We got a couple of side trips as well. Next day he took on a personal guided walk of Old Town. Really nice, informative guide. I do not know if he will do the trip to Tena, but locally I would be hard pressed to find a better personal driver. Caution – take it easy the 1st day there, unless you come from a high altitude location.

Thanks, Suzan — I only asked about the attendance because of the possibility of canceling if there were insufficient attendees, mentioned when we made our reservations. Thanks for providing a name and phone#.

Thanks, Suzan — Does the conference not start until mid-day on the 28th? I’ll contact both the above, and maybe another recommendation from our hotel. Do you have inside information on the number of attendees required to confirm the conference?
