If you want a travel experience that supports local communities while making you feel like family, Responsible Travel Latin America is the choice for you. As a solo traveler, I felt at home from day one. 1. Exceptional Personal Care - Valentina (the RTLA rep): She tailored my itinerary perfectly and checked in on me constantly, even on my "off" days. Her warmth made me feel safe and welcome in a new country. - Kim (Tour guide): An expert guide in Quito and Ecuador in general, who adjusted to my pace perfectly. Even on the way to the airport, she shared insights and enriched my experience right up to the last second of my trip. 2. Real Social & Eco-Impact I booked a trip to the Cuyabeno Nature Reserve with Responsible Travel Latin America. Booking with RTLA means your money stays in Ecuador. - Nicky Amazon Lodge: Ecuadorian-owned and run by locals. They work directly with the Siona indigenous community, helping them protect the reserve. - Sustainability: From adopting a tree in the Amazon to neutralize my carbon footprint to the lodge's eco-friendly practices (limited power/biodegradable products), the commitment to the planet is genuine. - Social Impact: supporting local initiatives, such as empowering women in vulnerable situations within communities. Bottom Line- RTLA offers a friend-like level of care that other agencies I've worked with simply can't match. I’ll definitely be using them again for my next Latin American adventure.Show more

I had a great time in San Cristobal! I had airport transfers from Quito Airport and San Cristobal Airport to my hotels included based on my flight information that included 3 extra nights in Quito. Day 1 included a private snorkeling activity at Playa Punta Carola followed by the Interpretation Center with information about the island. Day 2 included an awesome group boat tour of Kicker Rock with snorkeling. I saw sea turtles, pelicans, reef sharks, rays, and hammerheads. Day 3 included another cool group boat tour to Española Island with snorkeling included. I saw starfish, reef sharks, loads of fish while snorkeling, and blue-footed boobies and marine iguanas while hiking. Day 4 was a free day so I decided to take a private tour of the island to see giant tortoises, a gorgeous lake, and a stunning white sand beach. Day 5 was a flight day so I went to the beach prior to the plane. Overall, I enjoyed my time and wish I had spent more time seeing the other islands. I cannot wait to return. The communication with my tour agent was really good too. I received a free 1GB eSIM which was enough for about 2 days so I bought a top up. Both hotels (in Quito and San Cristobal) were comfortable with great breakfast options. I am very happy I booked this tour.Show more
