One of the most striking aspects of Ecuador is its diverse geographical features. The Andes Mountains dominate the central part of the country, creating a stunning backdrop for cities like Quito and Cuenca. Hiking through the highlands, I was able to witness the sheer beauty of the snow-capped peaks and the vibrant green valleys below.
Exploring the Amazon Rainforest
No trip to Ecuador would be complete without a visit to the Amazon rainforest. Venturing deep into the heart of the jungle, I immersed myself in a world teeming with exotic wildlife and lush vegetation. The sounds of the rainforest enveloped me as I navigated its winding rivers and walked beneath the towering canopies of ancient trees.
The Amazon is home to an incredible array of plant and animal species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. From colorful birds and playful monkeys to majestic jaguars and elusive anacondas, the rainforest is a wildlife enthusiast's dream come true.
Immersing in Culture and Traditions
Ecuador's rich cultural heritage is deeply intertwined with its natural surroundings. The indigenous communities that call this land home have preserved their traditions for centuries, offering visitors a glimpse into their way of life.
During my time in Ecuador, I had the privilege of attending traditional festivals, where vibrant costumes, lively music, and dance performances showcased the country's diverse cultural tapestry. Exploring local markets, I discovered intricate handicrafts made by skilled artisans, showcasing the country's artistic prowess.
Above the Snake Line: My Years In Ecuador has been a life-changing experience. This captivating country has left an indelible mark on my soul, with its stunning landscapes, rich biodiversity, and vibrant culture. It is a place where the modern world blends seamlessly with ancient traditions, offering visitors a truly immersive and unforgettable journey.
If you're seeking an adventure that takes you above the ordinary, venture above the snake line and embark on your own unforgettable journey through Ecuador's natural wonders and cultural treasures.

Above the Snake Line is the story of an "older" American woman who moved to Ecuador "in spite of everything". In a series of ponderings and opinions and stories and poems, Janis shares her adventures and journey in a sometimes irreverent and often hilarious style. Her story of overcoming Stage III breast cancer to realize her dream of being an expat living in Ecuador. is one of perseverence and hope.
Janis' well -thought out and extensively researched move to Ecuador was delayed when she was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer while living in New Orleans. It was necessary for her to remain in the US to undergo chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. Ecuador became a symbol, a dream of freedom, a dream of accomplishment.
Janis documents her sometimes strange, sometimes hilarious, often daunting and overwhelming journey in a series of notes and journals from her "Moving to Ecuador in Spite of Everything" forum and from her daily life.
This is not a travelogue. Janis does not tell you which train to take and what food you must try. Rather, she shares her deepest and sometimes darkest thoughts with you. This is the story about a woman who finds the courage and strength to create a new life for herself in beautiful, magical Ecuador.
