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

Reply from: Responsible Travel South America
Dear Igal, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. It means a lot to our entire team at Responsible Travel. It was an absolute pleasure helping you plan your journey in Ecuador, and I’m so happy to hear that you felt at home from the very beginning. Creating meaningful travel experiences where our travelers feel safe, welcomed, and connected to the places they visit is exactly what we strive for. I will be sure to share your lovely feedback with Kim as well. Thank you also for recognizing the importance of supporting local communities and sustainable travel. Working with locally owned lodges and contributing to conservation and community initiatives in places like Cuyabeno and San Antonio de Aradas is at the heart of what we do. It was a pleasure being part of your adventure, and we would absolutely love to help you explore more of Latin America in the future. Warmest regards, Valentina Responsible Travel
