Last weekend saw the Villa Maria team once again leaving the confines of Quito, this time for the beautiful Ecuadorian cloud forest. Ever the adventurers the intrepid lot set out on an 8 1/2 hour trek from the village of Yunguilla to visit Quest’s old friends at Santa Lucia. Take a look at the Google […]
