#SagaAsia | Bagan, the city of the 2000 temples
We left China at the end of January 2020, as they closed one by one the borders that we were crossing. Until we finally got to Myanmar (Burma). We touched down in Mandalay and, after a few moments of traveling, we entered Bagan, the city of temples and a World Heritage Site.
#SagaSouthAmerica Ingapirca Ruins, Ecuador. 3rd stop
One day after going to Cajas National Park (2nd stop), I went to the Inca Cañari ruins of Ingapirca. From Cuenca it is a trip of almost 3 hours by bus. In addition, the bus stopped every 10 meters to pick up people.

Inspired by the revolutionary movements brewing around America, in 1814 José de Antepara, José Joaquín Olmedo and José de Villamil arrived in Guayaquil to promulgate among the people of Guayaquil, not only rooting for a change in authorities, but to change the political and social structure of America.
#SagaAsia | A movie-like town at the foot of the Great Wall
This is what we came for, in China. The big Wall. I considered several times skipping this tourist part of China because, due to its fame, there’s a deeply rooted imaginary and I did not think that living it would change it that much. But I was wrong. We got to the Great Wall in Simatai from a small town that looked like a movie studio, the Water Town of Gubei.
#SagaAsia: Beijing, an empty China. New Years 2020
I hadn’t thought of visiting China until it became the headquarter of this trip. That’s where my friend lived. As soon as I mentioned that side of the world as a starting destination, many people questioned this “decision”. So much and so marked aversion to a place for which I began to feel very curious about the photos and anecdotes that I received through WeChat. It was no longer wanting to go because that’s where we started the trip, I also wanted to discover THE CAPITAL. And of course, the Chinese Wall.
#SagaSouthAmerica | Cuenca, Ecuador. 1st stop
I remember I was having lunch with my family in Quito. My backpack was ready and after a while I said “I’m leaving” and booked a few nights at La Cigale hostel, with breakfast included. My parents dropped me off at the bus station and told me “take care, my boy.” I went up and sat down. I remembered thinking about my dog, I remember that it hurt a lot to leave Tomás, but he was in good hands. This is how this backpacking began.
