Don’t go to this part of Ecuador! |S6-E12|
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
A ride toward Cuenca sets the course for this episode of Itchy Boots’ Ecuador-to-Alaska journey. Along the way, a stop at Iglesia del Rocio and a conversation about safety interrupt the travel day before the next stretch of jungle travel.
About this film
Part of Season 6, this episode centres on practical needs during a motorcycle journey: reaching Cuenca for reliable internet and preparing for several days in the jungle. The ride is also a chance to pause at Iglesia del Rocio, a church built on the side of a mountain. There, the traveller meets Maria, who shares advice about an area of Ecuador that is not considered safe to visit. These elements give the episode both a sense of onward movement and a grounded account of decisions that can shape travel.
The journey
The episode follows the ride toward Cuenca, with the stop at Iglesia del Rocio along the way. The church’s mountainside setting provides a break in the journey, while Maria’s warning brings local safety considerations into the story. Cuenca is the intended destination for internet access, and the following days are planned around travel into the jungle. The film therefore moves between the immediate needs of the ride, a place encountered en route, and preparation for the next part of the journey.
