What people love about Nature & Wildlife Tours in Ecuador Andean Highlands
- Ecuador Highlights 10 Days Tour
Such an informative and interesting tour, with exploration of significant sights in cities, the upper reaches of Amazones region (Rio Napo) and the Andes. We had a terrific time with our guide Ivan, who was incredibly well-informed and connected us to local guides for exploring the wonderful natural environment's we visited. Wonderful accommodation and the opportunity to taste local foods, gain insights into Quechuan culture and the natural world of Ecuadorean Andes and Amazon. A bucket list trip not to be missed!!
- Ecuador Hiking: Trekking Through Volcanoes, Culture & Andean Trails in 11 Days
we would just like to thank you guys (Guidecuador) for the great service received and the brilliant excursions. We really enjoyed our short breaks and feel that we saw so much more by taking your Ecuador Trip. We were collected each day from our hotels and dropped off at the end of each hike. The driver Luis and Marcelo our guide, were informative and helpful. We had a great time in your beautiful country.
Where to begin….this 14-day Ecuador/Amazon/Galapagos trip was AMAZING and exceeded our expectations. An extremely professional company from the minute we inquired about this Active tour, adding a 2 day extension to our Galapagos portion and bringing us back to Quito, we can’t say enough great things about Diego who organized the tour for us. We booked last minute Dec 2, 2024 and decided to make it a 3 week trip with exploring Mindo cloud forest on our own (which we also highly recommend) and left Canada on Dec 31st! Jorge, our amazing and professional, friendly guide took us on a 5 day Ecuador mainland loop that included mountain biking in Banos, river rafting in the Amazon (super spectacular) and many a hike along the way. Jorge’s knowledge about absolutely everything brought new knowledge to us about beautiful Ecuador. We always felt safe and cared for. Jorge became a friend who we hope to see again in the future. When it came to our departure from Quito to Galapagos, Milton made sure we passed through the gates at the airport with all the Galapagos requirements and all went as smooth as can be. When we landed in San Cristobal we were met by our beautiful, intelligent and amazing Indira! AJ sure knows how to pick their guides…as all of them become our friends and family so quickly. Highlights were plentiful: Kicker Rock snorkelling with hammerheads, rays, sea turtles; sea lions now have a special place with us; Isabela Isl with it’s Sierra Negra crater hike; biking to Wall of Tears and seeing the huge tortoises in the wild; Santa Cruz’s Tortuga Bay - stunning! El Chato tortoise reserve….can’t fit it all in this space. The accommodations and food were all very good as well. Thank you, AJ, for giving us the time of our lives. We will be back for sure!
