Perfect tour for anyone wanting to see the Galapagos without spending a fortune and still seeing everything on your bucket list. Scenery and wildlife more than met all expectations. There is a wide variety of restaurants and we did not have a single bad meal. Everything was within walking distance and we explored Santa Cruz every day. Seals and black lizards meet you wherever you go. The water is incredible … picture postcard perfect vacation!!!Show more

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
