Our trip to Ecuador was great. The mainland/Ecuador portion was exactly what we expected it to be. Mindo was a pleasant surprise and loved that portion. The hotel in Quito was wonderful. As for the Galapagos, everything was great except we would have liked for our guide to recommend Los Tuneles in Isabela on the Galapagos. We heard that those were great, but we were not told about those. Otherwise, I would highly recommend everything else we did in the Galapagos.

This was probably the best day of our trip. Our guide Ximena drove us to Mindo and she was great in bringing us to these places. We did 6 or 7 activities all in one day and had a great time. This included zip lining, tubing, seeing hummingbirds and making chocolate from cacao.

Seeing the world's 2nd largest volcano was awesome. Would definitely do this.
