6 Days Galápagos Exploration: Nature's Wonderland Adventure

Alvaro helped me and my husband plan our honeymoon trip to Ecuador and it was amazing! Our guides were very kind and knowledgeable. We learned not only about the area and history but also about current events and daily life. The food was delicious and healthy. In the Galapagos, we learned about wildlife and had many up-close experiences with the animals. We felt very welcomed everywhere we went, and we can’t wait to come back for another adventure in Ecuador!

We had the most amazing trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands - a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the initial interaction and Alvaro through to our last day - everything was flawlessly planned and executed. Alvaro put together the perfect itinerary for us and was always available during the trip, and managed to change our plans at the last minute during our trip. All of our guides, drivers, tour operators, etc. were excellent - special mentions to Chris and Alejandro! Ecuador is a spectacular place to visit. I would highly recommend a trip - from the volcanos, cloud rainforest, jungle, Galapagos Islands, and the wonderful people. Thanks again Alvaro for planning such an epic visit!
