Ecuador vacation

Ecuador | Nov 2 - Nov 18, 2024

Great hotel Douglas made us feel right at home! He made great scrambled eggs too,🤣

Rooms were nice! Food was very good!

Nice rooms in the cloud forest staff was very accommodating food was great also!

Hotel was nice breakfast was good! It was not as nice as the other hotels and was noisy at night.

Loved this hotel located in downtown Quito. Liked that every room we stayed in was decorated differently

Gabrielle was great we saw a lot of different things at night

Hike to the waterfall for a swim at piripie lodge was great along with the tour of the grounds learned about different fruits etc Also hike to waterfall in Mashpi was wonderful also if you like to hike along the way Andreas should us different birds frogs and plants loved it!

I did have a good time riding bikes in cloud forest but felt it wasn’t the best place to ride! It was all up hill for a little while but Andreas was right there with the truck to help the down hill was a little scary but had fun!

Saw a lot of birds it was great!

These birds are very beautiful and we were delighted we got to see a few and video them

Loved learning about this reserve would visit again. The hike and guide were ok lunch was very good lots of hummingbird loved there organic garden

Never saw anything like the clay lick before! Also, loved the indigenous community it was very interesting

Loved the land turtles and lava tunnels!

The research center was ok we did learn about all the turtles and George! I thought there would be more about Charles Darwin also would have liked to be able to change it was chilly in Quito so I wore jeans and a light sweater by the time we got to the research center it was pretty warm!

Bartolome hike was beautiful at the top definitely worth doing! Snorkeling was amazing there also visibility was great!

Loved the kayaking again saw some amazing things penguins watch blue footed boobies dive, sea lions pelicans guide was really good I don’t remember her name but she was good 👍

Best snorkeling ever! Sea turtles,sea horses, sharks, mana rays it was wonderful

It was a good long hike the guide was very enthusiastic the crater and lava flows were great to see very interesting! This was another place were it was rushed right after this we were picked up to go back to Santa Cruz we were so dirty and dusty we just wanted to take a shower but I am glad we did the hike even if it meant we had to be really grimy for a couple hours.
