Baņos Travel Forum

I am traveling to area around Banos in April 2008 and was wondering if the volcano would affect the area Sangay and Llanganati National Park if there was an eruption?

i am thinking of spending some time in banos, or possibly patate - so i would like to know if there is smoke there - from the volcano. and if so, how much and how often? have people complained of it hurting their eyes, or causing a chronic cough?

when i lived on the big island of hawaii, i got very sick from the volcano smoke on the kona side. it looked like the smog in los angeles, and everyone called it vog.

thank you - i appreciate your help.

I have 2 questions.....
1st. Does anyone know if high speed interntet is available in home in Banos? What the connection is and how much it costs?

2nd. Does anyone know of a good web site to find rentals?

Thank you!

I´m on a 10 month trip round Latin America and just arrived in Ecuador. All been ok so far but my family back at home are getting a bit worried as apparently an english woman tourist disappeared in banos a few months ago and had her bank account cleared. Does anyone know any more about this ie what happened, where she was staying when it occured? I´m not too worried but just curious...

I read a posting on here about a bad experience at Luna Runtun - have other people had good experiences? I am planning on staying there later in the year. Also does anyone know the best place to get a taxi from Quito to Banos - obviously I want to pay the lowest price possible!

Thank you
