Our travel agent Joseph was very attentive and worked hard to find us an ideal itinerary. We had planned to climb Cotopaxi but had to change the plans last minute due to health problems. The trip to Quilotoa and Cotopaxi base camp was a great substitute. The accommodation was a modest but decent hotel, the trip was well organized and lunches were basic but adequate.

Hello Mirka,
I am so happy to read your review!
We have lots more adventure to arrange together, including next time: Cotopaxi Summit!
Hugs from your local friend,
Joseph

Very good time
By Lester D for Highlands of the Galapagos: Island Hopping on Nov 26, 2024
We had an amazing time during our one week of travel from Coast to Andean highlands and Quito. Our driver Mr. Wilmer and guide Danny were both personable and amazing individuals who made sure we had a great time. They also provided a lot of information about Ecuador. The country has definitely become one of the best destinations we have visited so far.
