We had an amazing trip!! Milton made Quito even more special. Mindo was one of my favorite stops for the chocolate experience and seeing the toucans and feeding the humming birds. And going to Santa Cruz and Isabela was spectacular seeing all the wild life especially the blue footed boobies. The guides arrived on time and told us a lot of info. David got us to and from Baltra and was super. Julio took the time to show us around Isabela. Eva did a nice job showing us the tortoises in their natural habitat. As mentioned it was an amazing trip. And Paul was always there for us!!

Hotel Review
Hacienda El Porvenir
Machachi

The hotel was so accommodating and welcoming. You felt right at home! They had a spa and the massage was wonderful. They had horseback riding which we didn't have time to do but looked like a lot fun. And the meals were 5 stars. Plus there was turn down service where they even put a few hot water bottles under the covers to keep you nice and warm. A peaceful place surrounded by nature.

From the very beginning, it was truly a pleasure planning this journey with you, and I really hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back to Ecuador in the future.
