It was a well organised trip to Quilatoa and Cotopaxi. The Agency was reachable and the guide Juan is well educated and highly motivated. Everything works including my knee… Can recommend Original Ecuador! Thanks!

We book this tour to experience the Ecuadorian highlands and the lodge to lodge trekking turned out to be a wonderful way to do so! Our guide Juan Fernando was very knowledgeable and shared insights into local flora, fauna and culture. And te views were amazing!

Hi Valentina,
 
Thank you for the cards and for the yummy chocolates. Appreciate the thoughtfulness. 
We finished the birding tour today and it was amazing! It did not rain at all. It started raining when we got back to the hotel. Yes!!!
Andres was wonderful. He was a walking database of bird names and sounds. He was great! And the guys from Refugio joined us and helped us find this particular bird (ampita). We were successful. 
Thanks very much for planning a great trip for us. Even the weather cooperated. 
I will surely recommend you to family and friends. 
 
Take care,
Larry and Leah

We had a wonderful time exploring the House and art gallery of Guayasamin. He was an amazing artist with a vision for how the earth could be better. The botanical gardens were beautiful particularly the orchid house. A great day Thank you original Ecuador and Jorge

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. Both guides were highly professional and well organized, and we felt like we were in good hands. It was really nice to stretch ourselves a bit and really experience the beauty of the Andes. 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. They were very easy to work with from planning the trip, to responding to any questions, to making sure we were where we needed to be when we needed to be there.

Dear Valentina,
 
We are indeed safely back in Europe. All went smooth. The program that you created for us was truly amazing! It is difficult to say what was the best: Juan with his impeccable knowledge, the amazing boutique hotels, the rainforrest experience… or your readiness to help us with every little detail and changed wishes. We are really glad to have found your agency and without you, it would have been difficult to get such a great experience in your wonderful country.
