Trip Experiences:

Our time with Andres on mainland Ecuador was the best part of our Ecuador & Galapagos Trip! We were met by Andres at the Quito airport and started our tour of the Andes. Within minutes we were surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside, small towns and fabulous mountains. We were amazed and loved our visits to the local markets, wonderful local restaurants and learning about the rich history of the regions we visited. The Hacienda where we stayed had a fireplace in each room, a steam room and sauna where you can relax, with a glass of wine, after a wonderful day with nature. We saw 11 species of hummingbirds in just one beautiful tropical paradise. We swam in thermal pools and hiked trails through local fincas and haciendas. I highly recommend you contact Original Ecuador to set up your adventure, bird watching or sightseeing visit to mainland Ecuador. And if you have time visit the Galapagos Islands also!

Victor and Andres are a very good team. It was a great pleasure to travel with them. They love their country, are very polite and helpful in any situation. Many thanks.
