About Ecuador Travel Podcast with Sebastián Andrade
Travelling in Ecuador means moving between coastal plains, Andean highlands and Amazonian jungle lowlands, each with its own climate and rhythm. This podcast follows a resident's approach: living somewhere long enough to learn it, then moving somewhere connected to it. That slow way of travel reveals how the country actually fits together.
Sebastián's route covers the highland capital of Quito, the coastal port of Guayaquil, Cotopaxi's high-altitude slopes and the sparsely populated jungle of the oriente. Each place offers a different relationship to the land, and none can be understood in isolation. He stays long enough to see how they connect.
Episodes track the turning of the year: the cooler dry highland months, the coastal wet season, and the jungle's steady humidity. Sebastián returns to places he has already visited, so the listener hears a country accreting layers rather than a checklist of sights. This is travel as residency, with all the repetition and discovery that entails.
Sebastián Andrade lives in Ecuador and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Sebastián is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement.
A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers.
