I started off with an 8-day Central Highlands volcano tour and then this morph into an additional few days in the cloud forest, followed by 4 days in the Amazon followed by 12 days in the Galapagos on a nice cruise. All aspects were arranged through authentic, Ecuador and particularly Ariel who facilitated all the added on tours to the original tour. He was freely available and seemed to be waiting by the phone for my phone calls if someone didn't meet me at the airport, although at all proceeded very smoothly.Show more
