RE: Crossing the Ecuadorian Border with Refugees, 50 Shades of Stark and Unwelcoming Quito
Vilcabamba! Very cool spot in the mountains. I wish I'd had a another couple of days there. Cuenca on the way. Banos is nice too--lots to do around there.
I can also recommend this place:

If they are your thing.
Do my eyes deceive me? An actually useful advice from steemit? That's new. Thanks you, @choogirl, I will make sure to visit at least one of them. Do you think it's worth going to the coast, provided I'm broke and not really into beaches anyway?
Lol! I spent a month in Montañita doing Spanish lessons. I liked it but do NOT stay in the town if you want any sleep. Every night is Friday night. The only time it's quiet is when the power goes out. Go up the beach a bit to where this place is (there's a few places there) http://casadelsolmontanita.com/. Much nicer, but still only 10 mins walk from the town. I only visited some places around there so I don't know what the other beach towns way further north are like.
This is where I stayed in Vilcabamba. Really nice.

Not my kind of place, I never liked those even when I was rich. There are calmer and cheaper towns nearby, though. Like Ayampe, which was recommended to me. Got the same ocean, but better place overall.
