Thanks for the tip guys, I didn't have much interest in visiting Ecuador but I'm probably going to the carnaval de Pasto which is very close to the border, so I figured that I'd cross it for a few days to check it out. I may limit my time there instead based on this info, probably just check out Quito for a day then do 2-3 days in Banos then make my way back to Colombia.
Scotian, if you do cross into Ecuador by land, I suggest getting the hell out of the border town Tulcan ASAP. It's overpriced and dodgy as fuck. Just get your stamp and keep moving on towards Quito.
