Our trip was absolutely magical. The lodge is beautiful and very comfortable. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the flora, fauna, and belong to the Sani Nation. They were incredible hosts. Also, the food was so delicious, the service was kind and efficient. We felt well taken care of and welcome. I would definitely book there again.

A deluxe tour with a nice car, a highly-educated guide, and perfect English from the guides. They don't rush you, but they have everything planned perfectly so that you have a huge number of experiences packed into one tour. Everything we ever saw on youtube about these towns outside of Cuenca, the tour included them.

I would call this the deluxe tour company in Cuenca. Everything is done for maximum safety and legality. The guides speak perfect English, are officially licensed, and have a deep personal respect for the ecology, history, and future of Ecuador. You can probably find cheaper tours, but you will miss the expert commentary of the highly-educated guides. You won't get the high reliability of this company and the excellent vehicles they use to transport you. Paying a little more for peace of mind is really a good investment in a poor country. We had a great time being shown around by someone who deeply cares about Ecuador and its conservation.

Simply the best. This was a transition trip, because we were moving from one city to another city with all of our stuff. Felipe organized transportation of people and things like a champ. We have traveled with Felipe before, and he is such a delightful, kind, and knowledgable human. While traveling with a 4 year old and 3 month, you could find him playing or watching our kids near by so we can enjoy attractions. He was a SUPER guide. Felipe took us to the nooks and crannies of Ecuador that had social impact. I'm thankful that we got to spend time with him.
