Hello, I’d like to know if it’s possible to leave luggage at Quito and Baltra airports so I can hike with a lighter load. Could you also let me know the rates for this service, please? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi, We were there in October. You won’t find any luggage lockers at Ecuador’s airports. Even in accommodations in Guayaquil, we didn’t come across any.

Thanks Djalma, We’re planning to go in October.

Hi Chris and Lolo, Thanks for the tip. I’ll read your travel journal with interest.

Hello, we’ve been traveling regularly to northern Laos since 2005 (two years out of three)—Luang Prabang, Nong Kiaw, Muong Noi, Oudomxay, etc. In February or March, the weather’s pleasant, often hot with nice evenings. It’s usually sunny but with a light haze from slash-and-burn farming. By April, temperatures rise. For rice fields, you’ll only see them green in the fall… Have a great trip!

Thanks, André, for the tip! We’ll be heading to northern Laos in October.

What would be the ideal time to travel to northern Laos without it being too cold or too hot, and to enjoy the landscapes with green rice paddies and water? We love photography, hiking, and meeting people. We’re considering April/May—is that a good choice?
