May 23 - Jun 2, 2023
My wife Mala and I had a great trip to Equador and Galapagos. Many thanks to Mathias and his entire team.
Mathias made all the arrangements and even though we had to make multiple changes, it was never a problem.
We had to change dates of travel, no problems
We had to change our cruise ship, no problems
We wanted to do full day birding, no problems
He suggested that we stay at Tombopaxi, in Cotopaxi National park. No problems
Danny Arias was our guide for most of the days. He was very patient and knowledgeable
Neiser Arias was bird watchinf guide. He was very patient, knowledgeable and knew his birds really well. If we do a dedicated bird watchng tour, we will surely use him again
I wish we had a few more days to enjoy more of Equador
Highly recommend Mathias and his entire team for all matters Equador
Hotel Reviews
We spend 5 days and 4 nights on board. Thanks to the crew we had a most wonderful time. We had great weather and so that added to the enjoyment. The crew was fantastic. Naturalist and guide Victor Hugo was very knowledgeble and patient. During the snorkleing, he was so vigilant to ensure that every one was safe. During our hikes, he was able to answer all the questions and expose us to so much. He was never rushed, but was always on time Karen, the cruise director, ran the ship with military prcesion, but she and her crew worked very hard to make it easy for the passengers. She tried very hard to accomadate the various dietary needs. Also the entire crew were always will to help with a smile. Highy recommended. Keep up the good job
Wonderful location of a hotel. Very rustic. I wish we could spend more time there. I need to learn more Spanish. the generator goes of about 11pm. I suggest that maybe along the paths, they can have a few solar lamps.
We spend 3 days and 2 nights here. It is totally in the cloud forests. Wonderful location. Camile checked us in and was very helpful. The staff were all all very helpful. Great place to start bird watching and you will see a few birds and the property/

Samyadev,

Of course, our team and I would be glad to welcome you and Mala again on your next trip to Ecuador, to see more of the country's beauty, including its incredible avifauna!
