My man and I stayed in the highlands of Ecuador for two weeks. It was an amazing adventure and the route and hotels that Linda chose for us, was excellent. We saw so many amazing things and all the hotels were comfortable, with good breakfasts and very near to all the important sites and historical areas that we wanted to experience. For my first time visiting Ecuador, I couldn’t have had a better time. All the details were taken care of and I highly recommend Linda from Authentic Ecuador! ❤️Show more

Hi! I'm planning my 3rd trip as I type this and I'm not exactly what tours I've been on but to be honest, i don't think there's a bad one. I've been from the Amazon to the coast to the clouds to the south and then alot of in between some and it was Linda from Authentic Ecuador that set them up for me and my friends with beautiful hotels, day trips, and the guide Sebastian. The first was in January 2022 then in January 2023 and now again coming up May 2024. I'm not so sure I would've fell so hard for this beautiful country if it wasn't for finding Authentic Ecuador. What Linda set up for my little group the first time I went, was absolutely amazing! So much so that as soon as I got back to the States I convinced my girlfriend she needs to see this place and off we went again exactly a year later... the second was mostly in the highlands while the first trip was a more wider ranged walk about. I recommend letting Linda and Authentic Ecuador run with it...no matter the level of adventure, you can't go wrong with this team. On either trip, the hotels were amazing and the food was just as much so! Authentic Ecuador gets the little details right! An adventure of a lifetime... so much so, we've decided to spend a lot more time down there in the near future!Show more
