Galapagos & Amazon Tour Experts Ecuador

Good day out - We had a lovely day at Quilotoa. Hiked down and back up the crater (up is hard work!) and went kayaking in the lagoon. Options for motor boats too and... read more mule rides up. Scenery is stunning.

Alejandro was our guide. He gave us lots of info about Quito, Quilotoa and the stops we made along the way, and was generally just nice, cheerful company throughout :)

Incredible tour with an excellent itinerary. Comfortable van and Ride. Our guide Nathaly Durand was very knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. She went above and beyond.

Alejandro is upbeat and did an amazing job teaching us about the history of the Ecuador along the way to Laguna Quilotoa. He is incredibly knowledgeable! He did great job... read more guiding us throughout the day and coordinating food for the group! I learned so much, had fun, and I would highly recommend him!!

Unmissable Mindo - What an amazing trip. It began surprisingly with collection at our hotel. Alejandro was our guide for the day. I was travelling with my son and we shared the trip... read more with a young German couple. Off we went, heading out of town for the almost two hour trip to Mindo. Just before arriving in town we stopped at the first highlight of the day - bird viewing - mainly hummingbirds. It was amazing. They were everywhere. Different sizes and different colours - and you can hold a feeder at arms length and they come to you - right in front of your eyes. Fantastic. I would advise long sleeves and trousers for this part as there are quite a few mosquitoes.
Then it was off to see the butterflies. Unbelievable. So many, so brightly coloured, a truly magical 30 minutes. No time to waste and on to park up before the waterfall trek. It begins with a gorge crossing on an open gondola hanging from a cable - very exciting. Then it’s off to trek to two magical waterfalls. Quite steep and humid but not too difficult if you have a reasonable fitness level. You can swim at the waterfalls. With hindsight I wish we had but take a towel would be a good idea if you intend to.
Next up was the zipwires. Another exciting part of the excursion and over too soon. Lunch next, and to finish a visit to the chocolate factory with tasting - slightly too long for me personally this part and I wish I had taken the alternative option and just trotted around Mindo taking a few pics as the town has a great vibe.
The jewel in the crown of the trip was Alejandro, our guide. He was knowledgeable and informative, but not overpowering in any way. He gave us the options available and let us decide what we should do.
If you’re around Quito and looking for a varied day trip then I cannot recommend this highly enough. Brilliant.
