Juan is an excellent guide & very knowledgeable about the geology & wildlife of Cotopaxi National Park. We enjoyed the tour very much including the rose greenhouses, Cotopaxi National Park, the San Agustin de Callo Hacienda with lunch & feeding llamas. Valentina helped arrange the tour & was very responsive to our requests. I highly recommend Original Ecuador & this tour.

We scheduled two day-hikes through Original Ecuador during our recent trip to Quito and had a very positive experience.

Highly recommended.

Original Ecuador planned an incredible trip for us in the Galapagos. They thought of every detail and worked out all of the logistics for us.
