Everything you read about the road to Ecuador from Colombia tells you it is dangerous and under no circumstances, to do it after dark. Also, to be prepared for rigorous checks for drugs and weapons, on both the Colombian and Ecuadorian sides of the border. We did follow the advice and went in the daytime (although we met a mad German lady in the Colombian border town of Pasto, where we stayed, who was continuing onwards that evening - who knows where she is now!). However, we found the offices on both sides of the border to be efficient and friendly and not once did anyone check our bags!

Got us accross the border; but only women allowed to use the toilet!

Llamas in tiaras. How could you resist??
