Friend owns a hotel in Banos de Sante Agua, Ecuador.
You can hike up a volcano, have him or his wife take you on a custom bike tour, ride a bus for an hour to the rain forest. You'd fly in to Quito. PM me if you want specifics.
Edit-- oh yeah-- several "equator" fun parks in Quito where you can watch water drain in both directions, balance an egg on a nail, etc...
And... oh yeah.. once you get there your money goes really far due to goofy/dysfunctional exchange rate (or whatever you'd call it, as they use US Dollars.)
