Great itinerary,full of activities but not tiring. All the naturalist and guides where outstanding. The selected accommodations were excellent. Our trip was excellent and more than we expected.Thank you for doing such a great trip.

Spencer & Joanne Korte/ 2008 Wisconsing-USA: jodennis@wi.rr.com

Thank you for planning such a beautiful and educational trip. We really liked the country,specially the volcanoes. We think people are making a big mistake by just going to the Galapagos Islands. They should visit the mainland also.

Cris, Juan Fernando and Elisabeth were very knowledgable and fun to work with
