Bolivia Itineraries

Our guide Diego showed us his love of Ecuador, enthusing over the wildlife of the high Andes and Galapagos alike. I chose the diversity of this itinerary and was not disappointed. The trip was full on with early starts and long days but was rewarded with so much variety. Even on long journeys there were interesting breaks such as rose farms and chocolate manufacturers.
The time in the Galapagos exceeded expectations with marine and birdlife in abundance, so much of it oblivious to our presence

What a fabulous trip! Ecuador is an amazing, beautiful, wonderful country. I was a little concerned initially by the trouble out there, but I need not have worried. It felt completely safe at all times and everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

Highlights include snorkelling with sharks, penguins, sea lions and a sea horse! And the contrasts, from a humid cloud forest to the desolate high Andes to the Galapagos.

Diego was a fabulous guide, perhaps the best Explore guide! He was helpful, friendly, informative and simply great at his job.

Very varied activities. Suited me because I wanted to be land based on the Galapagos Islands to be able in the evening wandering along the beach watching the iguanas and blue footed boobies do their thing .
Great to see the old part of Quito and visit Mindo, Otavalo and Cotopaxi. Enjoyed the market in Otavalo for handicrafts

It was all tremendous!!! So many wonderful sights and experiences. The volcanoes, experiencing the local culture, hummingbirds in the cloud forest, standing on the equator line, snorkeling with sealions, turtles and sharks. Amazing wildlife, beautiful place, lovely people. felt safe and secure the entire time despite recent concerns. Go on this trip!! you won’t regret it x
