Ecuador- 2 weeks of stunning beauty and unforgettable activities
Galapagos Islands
|
Feb 6 - Feb 21, 2025
Ecuador has so much to offer- from the sights of Quito- with amazing walking tours and dining experiences, to hiking Cotopaxi volcano, trekking through Diablo waterfall and the beauty of the cloud and rainforests…..and then topped off with the Galápagos Islands. Paola at Authentic Ecuador executed our 2 weeks flawlessly choosing wonderful hotels (GO Hotel and Kuyana Lodge were particular highlights) and paired us with an exceptional guide (Danny was attentive, knowledgable, friendly and anticipated our every need). They ensured that we were well prepared for our upcoming activities and were intuitive about the cadence of our day, ensuring the itinerary fit our needs and preferences perfectly. We experienced great dining, stunning photo ops, and activities that spanned breathtaking hikes, soaks in hot mineral springs and heart stopping swinging out over rocky cliffs! Many thanks to Paola…… From the initial planning process to our last day (where she quickly adjusted to changes in our departure plans) we felt well informed and supported. I will cherish this Ecuadorian experience for years to come!
Hotel Reviews
Well appointed hotel with friendly and professional staff. Room is large and comfortable. Breakfast buffet is exceptional along with the ground floor restaurant (excellent Ecuadorian food with generous portions). The neighbourhood is safe with walking options day or night.
Good hotel very close to the airport with comfortable rooms, nice restaurant and charming pool area. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Exceeded my expectations.
Large room with comfortable bed and large bathroom/shower. The grounds are beautiful with fruit trees, colourful gardens and a wonderful pool and spa area. Breakfast was good and friendly staff with a welcome traditional beverage on arrival. We stayed on election day, so the atmosphere was very quiet during our stay.
This was a wonderful and unique experience. Our accommodations (individual unit) was well appointed with floor to ceiling views of the rainforest and the sounds of nearby water. The grounds are stunning with a lovely pool area, lit pathways and gorgeous gardens mixed in with the local natural rainforest. Sitting on our patio offered us views of butterflies, rainforest birds and a delightful Wooly monkey, who has a residence on the property. The activities (night walk, rainforest boat tour to local indigenous group, and chocolate making class) were informative and great fun! Meals are healthy, fresh and delicious. The staff were attentive.
Nice hotel in excellent location filled with character. Good restaurant onsite with many options including international and Ecuadorian cuisine. Breakfast offered a variety of options. Our room was very large and charming. The hotel is quiet and visually appealing.
