afrowheels agree if you have some time before reaching - they also have time to clear the debris on the slide.
I did keep a blog. Here is a pointer to the Ecuador summary page -
Ecuador - A bicycle ride across the Americas
I entered at Tulcan and went via Quito and Cuenca. At that point I decided to go down to the coast and entered Peru at Tumbes. As you know from your riding in Colombia, the lowlands can be hot and humid so that is also why I liked staying higher for a while. However, once I got to the coast of Peru, there was a cold current that kept everything much more reasonable.
